Set on a mature lot in Waterloo's highly sought-after Lakeshore neighbourhood, this well cared for 4-level sidesplit is surrounded by everything that makes this community so desirable. Tucked away on a quiet, family-friendly crescent and backing directly onto a peaceful park with no rear neighbours, the private backyard feels like a natural extension of the home. Towering mature trees, beautiful views, and direct access to greenspace create a peaceful setting for relaxing, entertaining, or simply enjoying the outdoors. Inside, the bright main floor welcomes you with a spacious living room where a large picture window fills the space with natural light. The adjoining dining area flows into a thoughtfully updated kitchen featuring warm cabinetry, ample prep space, and a breakfast bar that's perfect for casual meals, morning coffee, or catching up at the end of the day. Just a few steps down, the inviting family room is anchored by a beautiful stone gas fireplace and offers a walkout to the backyard, creating a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor living. A convenient 2-piece powder room completes this level. Upstairs, you'll find three comfortable bedrooms, including a spacious primary bedroom, along with a 4-piece bathroom. The finished lower level adds flexibility with a generous recreation room, a fourth bedroom that's ideal for guests, teenagers, or extended family, a separate office for working from home or hobbies, and exceptional storage beneath the attached double garage. Beyond the home, you'll appreciate excellent schools, parks, walking and biking trails, Laurel Creek Conservation Area, St. Jacobs Farmers' Market, shopping, restaurants, both universities, the ION LRT, and quick access to the Expressway. With parking for up to eight vehicles, an attached double garage, and a peaceful park-side setting, this thoughtfully maintained home offers the space, privacy, and established neighbourhood buyers are searching for.
