52 Thomas Street, Stratford, ON

Adorable. Affordable. A comfortable, low-maintenance lifestyle awaits in this stylishly finished detached 2-storey, tucked into a popular, established subdivision. Built in 2014, it's a smart choice for a professional single or couple who wants the privacy and appeal of a detached home without stretching the budget. The main floor is compact but beautifully appointed, with an inviting European-style kitchen featuring endless granite counters, an abundance of warm maple cabinetry and the bonus of full-size laundry. The cozy living room, complete with gas fireplace, opens to a lovely patio overlooking the surprisingly large, professionally landscaped premium lot - a fabulous outdoor extension of the living space. A convenient full 3-piece bath completes the main floor. Upstairs is where this home really delivers. Three bright, generously sized rooms give you plenty of flexibility, use them as bedrooms, a home office, den, dressing room, gym, or whatever suits your lifestyle today (and tomorrow). Warm-toned hickory flooring runs throughout both levels, beautifully complementing the warm white paint palette. The result is a Nordic inspired look that feels fresh, current and quietly sophisticated. And then there's the unfinished basement. With a bathroom rough-in already in place, it offers loads of future potential for a home office, media room, gym, guest space or simply the extra living area you may eventually want. With updated mechanics, high-end appliances, a great yard and a stylish, move-in-ready interior, 52 Thomas Street is a fabulous find, a detached home for the price you might expect to pay for a semi or town. Go ahead. Get excited. This time, you can afford it.
