he sought after Westboro. Leighton Terrace is a wide, tree-lined residential street running just off Island park Drive down to Wellington. Moreover the street is characterised by pretty 1940's single homes.
This charming house is placed on a 50 ft wide lot and the yard is home to an inground pool with patio and perennial gardens. The entrance to the house has a lovely interlocking walkway to the stone front steps. A red door adds a pop of colour.
The light filled living room and dining room are accented by the understated charm of curved ceilings. The entrances to rooms with decorative curves and hardwood floors floors warm the rooms. Large French doors open directly into the main floor den/tv room which in turns opens to the kitchen and casual eating area. Paned glass oversized patio doors allow a pleasant view out to the garden and pool area. Lots of windows let in plenty of natural light. the floor plan creates an easy flow between the indoor and outdoor spaces. A redone 3pc bathroom with a modern feel to the design and materials ( including a tile and glass walk in shower) compete the main floor.
The sunny 2nd floor bedrooms are perfect size for the kids or as office space. The main bedroom being overly large with an alcove bordered by two closets The main bathroom has been revamped and has a tub /shower with classic colours and appointments.
Great care has been taken to accent the charm of the exterior with the interlocking and flagstone front pathway and steps. Accented by beautiful maturely landscaped flowerbeds. The windows are shuttered and the front porch canopy is of interest in its design. The driveway has inlay brick borders. While the side of the home has a raised garden bed of interlocking stone.
