This 4-bed, 4-bath detached home in Branchton Park has 3,167 sq ft across three levels, and it's all about the walkout basement backing right onto Greengate Park. You'll get treed views from the main floor's 10-foot ceilings, and there's a gas fireplace below. The main floor is genuinely open: kitchen with an oversized quartz island, dinette, and living room with custom built-ins. Sliding doors from the dinette lead to a deck with a gazebo, and the backyard is fully fenced. Upstairs, bedrooms are a good size, including a primary with a walk-in closet and a 5-piece ensuite with double sinks. But the basement might be the biggest flex: a massive rec room (25'5'' x 25'6'') that opens to the yard, plus a 3-piece bath. The upstairs bedrooms each have windows and ample closet space. A mudroom with garage access keeps things organized. Built in 2015, this place is in solid shape, with a brick and vinyl exterior. The neighborhood is quiet, and you're a short drive to restaurants like Elixir Bistro or Cambridge Mill, or a bit further to the Cambridge Centre mall. Hwy 8 is minutes away, and Hwy 401 is about a 10-minute drive. With a 45-foot frontage and a 2-car garage, there's parking for four. The annual property tax is $6,372.60. Recent sales in the area average around $1.1M, so the asking price is in line. Some images are virtually staged. This feels like a place you can actually live in.
