About this home

Inside the home

This is a large two-storey home on a pie-shaped lot that backs directly onto a ravine pond — a genuine differentiator in the Echo Place area. The main floor has good bones: dark hardwood, open flow through arched colonnades, and enough room to carve out separate living, dining, and family spaces. The finished walkout basement with a separate entrance is the most financially compelling feature here. With three bedrooms, a second kitchen, and its own bathroom, it functions as a self-contained unit — useful for extended family or rental income. Upstairs, the bedrooms are spacious but need cosmetic work. Bold paint, original carpet, and builder-grade bathrooms are the reality. Budget for repainting and flooring before or shortly after moving in. The ravine views and lot size make the trade-off worth considering.

  • Large floor plan at approximately 4,589 sq ft of total living space
  • Pie-shaped ravine lot backing onto pond
  • Finished walkout basement with separate entrance — income or in-law potential
  • Decorative colonnade archway and open main floor layout
  • Double garage with four-car total parking
  • Close proximity to park and playground
