Set in the heart of highly coveted Elbow Park, this beautifully renovated family home offers the lifestyle so many families dream about, where kids walk to school, weekends are spent at the Glencoe Club, and evenings revolve around effortless entertaining and family connection. From the charming front porch and welcoming foyer, the home immediately feels warm, refined, and designed for real life. The front living room is a true showpiece, wrapped in designer wallpaper and styled with the ambiance of a chic speakeasy that makes cocktails with friends feel elevated and unforgettable. An adjoining dining room easily hosts large family dinners with space for an oversized table and a wine rack to showcase your collection. At the heart of the home is the stunning renovated kitchen and family room, a magazine-worthy space where everyone naturally gathers. The sunny bay window breakfast nook overlooks the backyard, while the family room fireplace and custom built-ins create the perfect backdrop for cozy nights at home. Gorgeous white and wood kitchen cabinetry, Taj Mahal granite, a striking reeded wood island, and top-tier appliances including an integrated fridge, induction cooktop, double wall ovens, and a bar fridge create both beauty and function. A walk-through pantry and mudroom connect seamlessly to the attached double garage. Upstairs, two children’s bedrooms each feature walk-in closets and share a Jack & Jill bathroom, while the spacious primary suite offers a peaceful sitting area overlooking the backyard, a large walk-in closet, and a well laid out ensuite with dual sinks, soaker tub, and private water closet. The bright walkout lower level, with 9-foot ceilings and in-floor heat, feels nothing like a basement. It offers a large recreation room, a gym/office, fourth bedroom, full bath, and direct access to the west-facing backyard through a covered patio. Outside, the tiered deck was designed for entertaining and relaxing, with multiple seating areas, outdoor di ning, and a hot tub. Mature trees screen for privacy and there is plenty of lawn for kids to play. Just steps from parks, playgrounds and Elbow Park School, this location couldn’t be better. This exceptional home captures everything families love about life in Elbow Park. (id:65958)

10-item due-diligence checklist. We can pre-flight most of these for you on a CMA call.
Comparable sales
Ask for 3–5 recent solds within ~1 km and the same beds/baths so the list price has context.
Property condition
Roof age, furnace age, hot-water tank age, electrical panel size, windows. Cosmetic vs structural.
Zoning
Confirm zoning matches your intent (single-family vs duplex vs secondary suite vs commercial).
Suite legality / potential
If suited or being marketed as suited: confirm permits, separate entrance, ceiling height, egress windows.
Monthly carrying cost
Mortgage + property tax + insurance + condo fee (if any) + utilities. Compare to your max budget.
Property taxes
Confirm the annual tax amount on the current assessment — and whether a reassessment is pending.
Insurance estimate
Get a same-day quote. Older homes, knob-and-tube wiring, polybutylene plumbing, flood plains all change the number.
Commute
Drive it (or transit it) at the actual time of day you'd commute. Map ETA lies during peak hours.
Deposit and financing conditions
Deposit size, financing condition window, condition removal date, possession date — all negotiable.
Inspection considerations
Budget for a home inspector ($500–700) and any specialty inspections (sewer scope, mould, asbestos for pre-1990 builds).
