148 Strachan Street, Stratford

Come inside and be surprised. This is not your Aunt Edna's 1950s bungalow! Meticulously maintained by the same owners for 58 years, this classic mid-century bungalow has been thoughtfully transformed with a substantial main-floor and lower-level addition that adds space, flexibility and a whole new way to live. You'll find the traditional bungalow layout you'd expect, along with an unexpectedly generous primary bedroom, third bedroom/office with a cleverly tucked-away laundry closet, a bright, well-designed kitchen and a glorious three-season sunroom overlooking the mature rear yard. And then there's the lower level, where the surprises continue. A comfortable family room with gas fireplace and bar area provides the perfect spot for movie nights and casual entertaining, while an abundance of storage keeps everything beautifully organized. The addition creates something you rarely find in a bungalow of this vintage: a spacious private guest suite with a conveniently located full bath. Family and friends can visit in comfort, with their own welcoming space. Outside, the mature rear yard offers a shady spot for summer dining, plenty of room for Rover to roam, and all sorts of places to garden, putter or simply relax. Add a good-sized detached garage with a drive-through door and there's room for hobbies, projects and gardening gear, too. A much-loved home, exceptionally well cared for, and full of possibilities you simply won't expect from the street. Come see what 58 years of caring and a very thoughtful addition can do. (id:1945)
