Four bedroom family home in leafy central neighbourhood

Description

This comfortable character home is situated in City Park, steps from City Hospital, Kinsmen Park, and the Meewasin Trail: a scenic, multi-use pathway system exceeding that winds along both sides of the South Saskatchewan River. It is an easy walk to the University of Saskatchewan campus, the Royal University and Children's Hospitals (JPCH), schools, and downtown Saskatoon. The main floor has a living room with gas fireplace, open dining room and kitchen, as well as a separate piano room / office / reading room. There is also a powder room under the stairs. The kitchen door opens out onto a patio, with dining table and chairs, gas BBQ, and clothesline (if you're so inclined). The backyard has eponymous Saskatoon berries, a crabapple tree, herbs, lilacs, garden boxes and a trampoline. The second floor has three bedrooms: one with a single bed, one with bunkbeds, and the third with a queen-sized bed. There is also a bathroom with a clawfoot tub. Nestled within the dormers on the third floor is the primary suite: king-sized bed, bathroom with shower and office space. The basement is finished, with carpet and higher ceilings. It includes the laundry room (freezer, sink, washer and dryer), another bathroom with shower, and a second music room (full drum kit, guitars, etc.) which could also be used as a guest room. It is also where we spend the most time when home: in the playroom / TV den / home gym (weight set). The home has central heat and air conditioning, but it is difficult to control the temperature on the top floor, so a separate space heater and portable AC unit are available for use in that space. There is a detached garage with the option of car use. The garage also contains bikes and cross-country ski equipment (there are trails at Kinsmen park), and a basketball net.
