If you've been searching the Cathedral area, you know the struggle - you want the walkability, the local shops, and the eclectic neighbourhood vibe, but you don't necessarily want a 100 year old project. This home is the exception, perfectly capturing the neighbourhood's creative spirit, with custom artistic touches throughout, but also key upgrades going deep into the bones of the house and features found in high-end custom builds. All the unglamorous (but expensive) essentials are already checked off the list, including a high efficient furnace, power vent water heater, water softener, and a proper laundry setup complete with a washer, dryer, and deep utility sink. One noticeable difference is one you won't actually hear, engineered soundproof interior doors, insulated bathroom walls, and sound-wrapped plumbing stacks. Every inch of drywall, electrical wiring, switches, plumbing (fresh and drain lines) and flooring (vinyl plank) has been replaced. Lights are dimmable LEDs and ceiling is roughed-in for surround sound. The kitchen was clearly designed by someone who loves to cook and host, featuring a gas stove, built-in oven and microwave, a dedicated coffee bar and a separate smoothie/drink bar. The island features hidden storage tucked right behind the barstools. A wall-mount for an iPad links to the 24/7 (dual hard drive and cloud storage) security system monitoring the property. The wifi thermostat adjusts straight from your phone. Both the front and back yards are landscaped to be completely maintenance-free and a concrete pad is already poured and waiting for a future double garage. You're just 100 yards from the new school and a short stroll from the best restaurants and cafes in Cathedral.
