Beautifully Maintained Cape Cod Style Home with a Pool!
Situated on a picturesque 100 foot wide lot surrounded by lush greenery and mature landscaping sits this charming Cape Cod style home with 4 bedrooms & 2.5 baths. This meticulously maintained home has been in the same family since it was built in the 60’s and if the walls could talk, you would hear stories of well attended street parties, backyard BBQ’s, pool parties on hot summer days, never ending games of street hockey and kick-the-can. This quiet crescent is where families settle in to raise their children, make lifelong memories and lasting neighbourhood friendships.
You’ll be pleasantly surprised by the interior space which includes formal living and dining rooms, an eat-in kitchen, powder room, and a main floor family room with patio doors leading to an entertainment size deck. Upstairs you’ll find 4 generous bedrooms all with great closet space. The primary suite is well located on one side of the house and features a lovely renovated ensuite plus a hidden storage room behind the wall of closets – a great place to hide gifts for the kids we’ve been told! Three other bedrooms on this level share a second renovated bathroom. The lower level offers excellent additional space with a 5th bedroom/office, recreation room, laundry, workshop and lots of storage.
This fabulous corner lot was thoughtfully planned resulting in a few distinct and purposeful areas such as a raised patio at the end of the pool where you can sunbathe in absolute privacy, a lush lawn area for children to play, a large deck off the family room where parties can spill outside and you can dine under the stars, and a handy storage shed tucked around the corner by the garage out of sight. All this surrounded by beautiful mature hedges, stunning flowering trees & shrubs and perennial gardens.

20 Welkin enjoys a quiet and enviable location in the neighbourhood with very little traffic due to the crescent having no other streets intersect within it.
