1588 Kerns Road #5, Burlington

What more could you ask for? This home combines more than 2,000 square feet of upgraded living space with an oversized double garage, a quiet and convenient southwest Burlington location, and a condo complex that includes an outdoor pool, party room, and lawn and snow maintenance of your walkways and driveway.

Stepping inside, you’ll find a living room to the right of the front entrance with a gas fireplace, and straight ahead is a generous-sized dining room big enough for 12-14 people.

When the owners moved in, the kitchen was very dated, and about half its current size, with a separate balcony area. They opened everything up and renovated the kitchen to what you see now, with white cabinets, stylish accents, stainless steel appliances and a five-burner gas stove.

Have a look at the before & after:

There’s a sliding door walk-out from the kitchen to the backyard deck, which is large enough to accommodate a safely distanced gathering of family and friends. There’s also a gas line for the BBQ installed… so you’ll never run out of fuel before the food is done!

Upstairs, you’ll find a huge master suite with a sitting area that opens up to a second-floor screened-in three-season balcony. This just might be the current owners’ favourite part of the house. They can enjoy a coffee, catch up on emails, or read a book.

There’s a gentle breeze, it’s bright, and it’s quiet.

The master bedroom also has a huge walk-in closet with custom-built organizers and a recently renovated ensuite bathroom.

The two other bedrooms share the other updated washroom, and they both have large south-facing windows with lots of sunlight.

The basement is finished, with an area at the bottom of the stairs that could be a play area or an office, plus a rec room with a fireplace and brick mantle, and a separate room that can be a small guest bedroom, an office, or another kids’ play area. There’s LOTS of storage space in the basement utility room, which could be opened up to add even more finished space.

The home is close to the QEW, the 403 and the 407. It’s about halfway between the Burlington and Aldershot GO stations, each no more than 5-7 minutes away. The Tyandaga neighbourhood is known for its tree-lined streets and great parks and schools.

You have great access from this location to downtown Burlington and the waterfront, along with the shopping corridor further east on North Service Road.

There’s a nice mix of families, couples and seniors in this complex, and it’s very low-maintenance living, with snow removal and lawn care provided to all owners.

You’ll love the location, the features and the surroundings. This one is the total package!
