Set on one of Dickson Hill's most coveted, tree-lined streets, this handsome red-brick 2½-storey Century home beautifully pairs timeless elegance and exceptional character. A brand-new, 50-year GAF Timberline HDZ roof just installed on the house and garage (2026), along with a newly replaced third-floor skylight (2026), provides peace of mind for decades to come. The main level thoughtfully balances grand entertaining with modern comfort. The bright, oversized living room features a wood-burning fireplace and custom built-ins, while the formal dining room showcases stately millwork. The chef-inspired kitchen combines style and function with quartz and granite counters, stainless appliances, and a new centre island. French doors open to a relaxing family room with floor-to-ceiling windows, a feature fireplace, and heated floors—perfect for unwinding. A serene 3-season sunroom in the rear and a practical mudroom off the driveway complete this level. Upstairs, the second floor has three bedrooms, including a primary retreat complete with its own fireplace, dressing room, and spa-inspired ensuite. An updated 5-piece family bath serves the other two bedrooms. The finished third floor offers two additional charming bedrooms, bathed in natural light from the newly updated skylight, plus a flexible bonus room ideal for a home office or teen retreat. The finished basement provides a versatile recreation room with a fireplace, an additional bedroom, 4-piece bath and ample storage—perfect for extended family or guests. Outside, enjoy the expansive porch under a canopy of mature trees overlooking landscaped gardens and a globe-lit street. The detached two-car garage offers rare additional parking for four more vehicles off the lane. A short walk to Victoria Park, schools, downtown Cambridge shopping, the Gaslight District, and the Grand River.
