Built by distinguished Paradigm Homes, this legal duplex is currently enjoyed as a stunning family home, thoughtfully designed for comfortable everyday living with the added benefit of a self contained, lower level apartment. Located in Elmira’s desirable Southwood Park community, the main residence offers a bright, modern layout with an eat in kitchen featuring an island, ample cabinetry, and high end appliances including a gas stove. The brightly lit, inviting living room is enhanced by a gas fireplace and built-in wall speakers - perfect for both relaxing and entertaining. The home is largely carpet-free, with carpeting limited to the upstairs bedrooms. Upstairs, the spacious primary suite offers a private retreat with a luxury ensuite, complete with double sinks and a rainfall shower. Two additional generously sized bedrooms, a full 4 piece bathroom, and convenient upper level laundry complete the second floor. Step outside to a large, fully fenced and private backyard - an entertainer’s oasis featuring a gazebo, hot tub, and raised flowerbeds, offering plenty of space to relax, host, and enjoy outdoor living. The professionally finished one bedroom lower level apartment includes a separate entrance and private laundry, making it ideal for extended family, guests, or a valuable mortgage helper, all while maintaining privacy and enjoyment of the main home. Hobbyists will appreciate the fully insulated and heated double car garage. Enjoy the best of both worlds - minutes from shopping and amenities, a short drive to Waterloo, and steps from parks, forest, and walking trails.
