A window above the sink. A kitchen with walls. Ceilings worked by hand, arc by arc. The things people ask builders to recreate are still here, because in 56 years and 2 generations, it was valued. Hand-Swirled Ceilings: Finished overhead manually with a trowel and considerable patience. The texture holds light and shadow that flat drywall cannot, and would be much more expensive to recreate in a home today. A Kitchen With Walls: Oversized and eat-in, with abundant cabinetry, generous counter space, room for a full breakfast table, and 2 windows for natural light. Hosting here means pots & noise stay separate, so the dining room can focus on entertaining without distraction. A South-Facing Picture Window: oversized, framing the front yard like a canvas, with sunlight carrying through the middle of the day, and low winter light reaches across the living room. A Garden You Inherit With The Keys: A rose bush rooted at the side of the house since the year it was built, a mature garden that cannot be bought but only grown, and a vegetable bed that has fed this family for years. Shade, privacy and produce from your first season. The rest: 2,400 SF of total living space on both levels, 8' ceilings and original hardwood on main floor, 3 generously sized bedrooms, and a compartmentalized 3-piece semi-ensuite with separate water closet. The lower level is a home within a home: a sprawling family room anchored by a wood-burning fireplace, a 2nd kitchen, a 3-piece bath, a bedroom, and a side entrance with the potential to make it fully self-contained. Room for a growing family or multigenerational living, with potential for an income unit, legal suite, or future 2nd storey on this 50'x125' lot. Melton Drive has held its reputation for more than half a century, with schools, lake trails, parks, Sherway Gardens and the QEW close by. Entrusted, not just listed.
