Arlington Avenue

This is what it feels like when the house finally catches up to the life you've built.At 177 Arlington, beauty is not reserved for the rooms you show off, and function is not hidden behind compromise. This detached four-bedroom, four-bathroom home offers over 1,800 sq. ft. above grade, plus a finished lower level, front-pad parking and an outdoor setting that becomes part of everyday life.The main floor feels open, warm and instinctively connected. A sunlit front living room is grounded by custom built-ins and a sleek fireplace, while wide-plank hardwood and a glass-railed staircase carry a sense of lightness throughout. The dining area has the presence for celebration without waiting for a special occasion, flowing naturally into a kitchen designed for real life.Extensive cabinetry, KitchenAid appliances and a substantial centre island create space to cook, gather and linger. The adjoining family area offers another place to settle in, while sliding doors open to an elevated deck overlooking the landscaped, fully fenced garden. Below, an expansive stone patio and lawn invite long dinners, unhurried weekends and a little more time outside.Upstairs, four proper bedrooms mean the home can evolve without asking anyone to give up their space. The primary suite is calm and considered, with architectural wall detailing and a skylit ensuite featuring a double vanity and glass-enclosed marble shower. A bedroom currently arranged as an office offers immediate flexibility for work, guests or whatever comes next.The lower level feels like a genuine extension of the home rather than an afterthought. A spacious recreation room with wall-to-wall custom cabinetry is joined by an additional bedroom, three-piece bathroom and separate laundry room.Stroll to Cedarvale Park, Wychwood Barns, and Humewood's cafés and schools. Thoughtfully finished, remarkably complete and ready for the life that happens beyond the photographs.
