Designed by Peggy Wiebe in 1969 and cared for by the same owners for 38 years, 348 Browning Place is an original midcentury modern home built around a central courtyard that draws light into every room. On a quiet Beechwood cul de sac, 128 feet of frontage and a collection of thirty Japanese maples create a private garden setting, with decks and patios stepping down into the landscape. Inside, walls of glass and skylights frame the courtyard from both the dining area and the sunken living room. Two wood fireplaces anchor the main living spaces. The main floor primary suite allows for easy everyday living, with three additional bedrooms upstairs and four bathrooms in total. The finished walkout lower level adds a media room and recreation space, for 3,839 sq ft of finished living area. A double garage with inside entry and a six car driveway provide ample parking. Beechwood Park residents can join the neighbourhood association’s pool and tennis club, and trails lead to Clair Lake. The University of Waterloo, Wilfrid Laurier University, Waterloo Park and Uptown Waterloo are all close by. A prelisting home inspection is available. An architect designed original with a documented history, in one of Waterloo’s most established neighbourhoods. (id:2493)
