37 YELLOW BIRCH Drive
Kitchener, Ontario
4 bed • 3 bath • Single Family
A STATEMENT HOME TUCKED INTO NATURE. Tucked away on a sprawling, private treed lot, 37 Yellow Birch Drive is far from your typical suburban find. This reverse-walkout bungalow is a masterclass in unique architecture and thoughtful design throughout it's over 2400sqft of living space. From the moment you arrive, the striking brick exterior, draped in lush, mature ivy, hints at the character found within. Stepping through the front doors, you are greeted by a grand foyer featuring polished marble floors and a sweeping curved staircase that beckons you to explore the main level. The main lower level serves as a retreat of its own, offering new oak hardwood through the cozy family room centered around a magnificent floor-to-ceiling stone wood-burning fireplace, along with 2 bright bedrooms and a convenient 3-pc bath. The transition to the upper level is where this home’s personality truly shines, offering 2 distinct paths: the formal grand staircase or a custom metal spiral staircase that leads directly into the heart of the home. The kitchen is a modern gourmet’s dream, outfitted with crisp custom cabinetry, elegant quartz countertops, and a trendy backsplash that perfectly complements the white Café electric range oven. Just off the kitchen, a massive dining area provides an abundance of storage and workspace, while a unique multi-purpose den bathed in natural light from overhead skylights overlooks the lower level, creating an airy, interconnected feel. The primary suite is a sanctuary unto itself, offering peaceful views of the backyard and a luxurious ensuite highlighted by a classic clawfoot tub. For those who love to entertain, the formal living room at the front of the home opens onto a private terrace situated above the garage, the perfect spot for morning coffee among the treetops. The outdoor experience continues in the rear, where a garden door leads to a custom deck and a secluded, tiered backyard featuring a hot tub (2021) and mature forest views.
