$1,349,900

Soon to be built at 578 Balsam Poplar Street in Waterloo, this thoughtfully designed 4+1 bedroom, 5 bathroom home blends modern design with quality craftsmanship on a prominent corner lot. The exterior features a refined mix of stone, brick, and stucco, with brick continuing along the sides and rear for a cohesive finish. Insulated garage doors, black or taupe exterior windows, and a concrete driveway enhance the home’s contemporary presence. Inside, engineered hardwood flooring runs throughout the main level, complemented by 8-foot doors that add to the sense of scale. The open concept living and dining area flows seamlessly into a spacious kitchen anchored by a large island and outfitted with quartz countertops and Fisher & Paykel appliances. Quartz surfaces continue throughout the home, offering both style and durability. An oak hardwood staircase provides a timeless focal point. A practical side entrance leads into a well-designed mudroom with convenient access to the home, while a private office that can easily function as a bedroom and a 3-piece bathroom complete the main floor. Upstairs, four generously sized bedrooms provide comfortable accommodations. Two share a bathroom, one features its own ensuite, and the primary suite includes a large walk-in closet and a private ensuite bath. The fully finished basement offers impressive 9-foot ceilings, a spacious recreation room, an additional bedroom, and a 3-piece bathroom, creating flexible space for extended family or guests. With a finished basement, double car garage, and quality finishes throughout, this is a rare opportunity to own a newly built home in a sought-after Waterloo neighbourhood.
