This 4,340 sq ft Victorian-inspired custom home sits at 1388 Emerald Gate Avenue, with 4 beds and 5 baths across 2 stories. The main floor has a living room with that warm, character-filled vibe. Upstairs, you get 3 beds each with ensuite, including a primary with heated bathroom floors. One bedroom has a cool turret with a spiral staircase that leads up to a private reading nook at the top. There's also laundry on the second level, which is practical. The finished basement adds a 4th bed and in-law suite potential, perfect for guests or rental income. The lot is 61 x 102.8 ft, fully fenced, with a detached garage and parking for 7 total. Siding is vinyl, so maintenance is low. This place has history - it was the backdrop for three holiday movies, one being a Hallmark production. You'll notice crystal doorknobs and wallpaper details throughout. Location-wise, you're just 7 minutes from the airport, 20 minutes from downtown, and close to restaurants like Kallisto Greek (1 km) and cafes like Tim Hortons. Parks and schools like Dunlop PS are within 2.3 km. Priced at $1.4M, it's above the neighborhood median of $1,249,000, but with the size and movie pedigree, you get unique value. Given only 7 active nearby listings, it's a moderately competitive spot. If you want a home with personality and flexible space for extended family, this fits. Check the turret - that alone makes it worth a look.
