Stone and stucco semi on a 25-foot lot, and the curb appeal is real. You're steps from the NCC ravine trails and Elmhurst Park, with Frank Ryan Park close by, so weekend plans basically plan themselves. Inside, the main floor is open with 9-foot ceilings, hardwood, and a wall of windows that make it feel even bigger. The kitchen is the showpiece: granite counters, stainless steel appliances, and an oversized island that's perfect for hanging out while you cook. Living room has a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace, which is a nice focal point. Three bedrooms upstairs, including a primary suite with coffered ceilings, a walk-in closet, and a 5-piece ensuite with double vanity and glass shower. Second-floor laundry is a total win. The finished basement adds a rec room, office space, and a powder room, so there's room for everyone. West-facing backyard is fully fenced, has a patio, perennial gardens, and artificial turf, so you can skip the lawn mower. Attached garage holds two cars, plus a driveway spot. You're minutes to Woodroffe High School, Biagio's for takeout, and Britannia Beach is a quick drive. Listed at $899,000, with taxes around $6,729. This one's priced to move, given the area's median is $939,900. It's a solid choice if you want nature and convenience without the suburb sprawl.
