23 Upper Mercer St., Kitchener

This near-2,300 square foot family home sits handy to Grand River trails and routes out of town, and is loaded with all of the extras.  Enter off a deep covered front porch into the wide-open foyer, passing by the handy powder room on your way through and taking note of the lovely bannister which graces the main stairway.  The initial reveal on the main floor is a phenomenally finished open-concept design with additional millwork and topped with solid oak details everywhere!  A large transom window shines above bonus cabinetry in the dining area, while the kitchen has been extended with a handy built-in microwave that flows seamlessly from the gorgeous granite-topped kitchen with its stainless appliance set, all of which overlooks the peninsula onto the wide hardwood planked living area.  This space features even more custom cabinetry, with the same craftsmanlike details flanking the new natural gas fireplace.  Slide out to the custom rear deck with its built-in natural gas cook area sitting on elevated patio stone for easy maintenance.  Grab some fresh ingredients from your irrigated, organic raised garden beds to complete a sumptuous meal.  Or, retreat to the recently finished basement to gain some privacy for that zoom call, while you can keep an eye on the little ones through glass doors in the large rec room with egress windows shining down.  Two second floor bedrooms share the main bath, while your polos tumble dry in the upper laundry as you soak your day's stresses away in your own private ensuite bath.  The top floor loft makes for a massive additional bedroom or whatever else the family may require.  There is a lot on offer here, finished from top to bottom and from inside to the landscaped exterior.  This home is a beauty!
