2538 8th Avenue, Owen Sound, ON

Description

This red-door brick beauty hits every note: 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, 1,892 sq ft of polished, practical, and downright pretty living across 3 fully finished levels... with curb appeal for days. Let's start with that tree: a mature maple so perfectly round it looks like a kid drew it with a green crayon. The exposed aggregate driveway adds texture and class, while a covered front porch brings just the right welcome-home energy. Inside, the main floor flows like real life should: a bright front living room with French doors and a massive picture window (2023), flowing into an open-concept kitchen and dining space that opens to the backyard. Think Corian countertops (seamless, non-porous, easy-care luxe), VanDolder maple cabinetry with under-cabinet lighting, a crisp white tile backsplash (2022), and live-edge open shelving for warmth and character. The main floor is finished with a 2-piece powder room and interior garage access for everyday ease. Upstairs you'll find 3 comfortable bedrooms, a stylish 4-piece bath, and loads of natural light. But the real showstopper? The newly finished (2024) lower level featuring a gas fireplace that's right out of a magazine: modern square insert, matte black surround, white mosaic tile, shiplap accent wall, and a floating walnut beam mantel. A gorgeous 3-piece bathroom (2025) with black-framed glass walk-in shower and custom tilework completes the space. All major updates are done for you, like new fibreglass-shingle roof (2020), every single window and patio slider (2023), and new white oak luxury vinyl plank flooring (2025). And the backyard? It's a 536 sq ft two-tiered deck, covered pergola, natural gas BBQ hookup, and fully fenced yard with two blooming hawthorn trees. It's not just a backyard; it's a whole outdoor room. All tucked into one of the areas most-loved family neighbourhoods, just minutes to schools, shopping, and Stoney Orchard Park's escarpment trails.
