1508 Holburne Road, Mississauga, ON

The dream of a tastefully renovated, right-sized home with a thoughtfully designed backyard oasis, in the coveted Lakeview community, is found here at 1508 Holburne Road. Taken to the studs and rebuilt in 2012, this raised bungalow offers 1,410 sq ft above grade and over 2,600 sq ft of finished living space - ideal for downsizing families, professional couples and young families alike. The cheery open-concept main level features beautiful hardwood, deluxe crown moulding and baseboards, dimmable pot lights throughout, a stone-hearth gas fireplace, and a full-size window overlooking the front garden. The kitchen is a gourmet's dream, anchored by a granite-topped centre island with three-seat breakfast bar and designer pendant lighting. The generous primary bedroom offers a 3-piece ensuite and built-in closets, with views over the green and private backyard. A second main-floor bedroom makes a perfect child's room or study, and a powder room completes the level. With high-grade bamboo flooring throughout, the lower level's split layout holds two further oversized bedrooms, each with walk-in or built-in closets and room-length above-grade windows pouring in natural light. A spacious second family room, a renovated 3-piece bath, and a dedicated laundry room with sink, heated floors, and full cabinetry round it out. The 18-foot-wide double garage adds high ceilings and remarkable custom-built storage. Then there is the backyard - there really is no other word but "oasis" for this showstopper. A large custom composite deck gives ample room to lounge and dine before opening onto a sea of green, flowers, mature trees, and a vegetable garden, where a canvas-covered lumber-frame pergola waits: a heavenly spot to relax, read a book, or entertain.
