First time on the market since it was built. This 1.5-storey white brick house sits on a rare 99-foot-wide lot that backs onto green space, so you get real privacy in the backyard. Inside, it's around 3,400 square feet with 5 beds and 4 baths. The main floor offers 9-foot ceilings, oak trim, and hardwood and tile floors. There's a formal living room with a gas fireplace and bay window, plus a separate dining room. The kitchen is a standout: Thermador gas range, long island with a prep sink, and an eating area that opens to the deck. The family room has its own fireplace and a spiral staircase down to a rec room/gym. The primary suite is on the main floor with a walk-in closet and a 5-piece ensuite (glass shower, freestanding tub, double vanity). Two more bedrooms share a Jack-and-Jill bath. Upstairs you'll find a loft, two more bedrooms, and another full bath. Two fireplaces total. Roof is new (2021) and AC was replaced in 2020. Attached garage parks two, plus room for three in the driveway. Location is solid: a short walk to Medway Valley Heritage Forest trails, and about 2.6 km to Western University. Brescia and Huron colleges are roughly 2 km away. Museum of Ontario Archaeology is just 0.4 km. Downtown London is a quick drive. Taxes run about $8,751 a year. Listed at $1,173,000, which is above the nearby median sold price of $899,900, but you're paying for the size, the lot, and the fact it's never been resold. Basement is partially finished with a separate entrance from the garage, so there's potential to add more living space. Worth a look if you want a solid family home near the university with room to spread out.
