243 Riverview Heights, Peterborough - Open House Video Tour

Welcome to 243 Riverview Heights, a very well-maintained 3+1 bedroom brick bungalow nestled in a well-established, family-minded neighbourhood in Peterborough's South East End. Set well back from the street, this home has a long driveway with a storage shed at its end; garden beds and a mature tree in the front yard; and a premium-sized backyard that features both chain link and wood fencing, magnolia bushes, evergreens, and other greenery, as well as a large entertaining deck with a metal gazebo. Upon entry are hardwoods steps to the main level, which showcases oak hardwood flooring in the living room, hallway, and bedrooms; a tasteful neutral decor; and large windows with north- and south-facing exposures for abundant natural brightness. The living is quite generously sized, and the half wall along the entrance steps enhances the openness of this space, as does its oversized window. The kitchen and its breakfast/dining area are finished with quality vinyl flooring, brightened with an elegant light fixture and pot lighting, and provide access to the backyard via a sliding door walk-out. The kitchen itself showcases the richness of chocolate-coloured cabinetry with molded uppers, a glass-panelled corner accent cabinet, and which offers great storage that includes a pantry - the cabinetry paired with the earthen tones of the countertop and a tumbled marble back splash - while a stainless steel double under mount sink, French door fridge, oven with gas cooktop, and a built-in dishwasher and microwave add a sleek modern touch. Off the hallway to the bedrooms is a double coat closet and a linen closet - and an updated 5-pc washroom showcasing vinyl plank flooring; a contemporary vanity with stone counter, under mount basins, and mirrored wall-mounted toiletry cabinets; upgraded lighting; a storage closet with mirrored doors; as well as a bath/shower area with a soaker tub, rainfall and hand-held shower heads, a glass shelf, and acrylic wall panels that have a tiled-look finish. The three bedrooms are all naturally bright and comfortable in size: the third bedroom has a ceiling fan and backyard views; the second bedroom has a double closet with organizers; while the master bedroom features both a ceiling fan, and a very spacious double closet with organizers. The landing off the kitchen has a secondary side entrance from the driveway, and this landing, the staircase, and the lower level landing are all finished with wainscoting. The lower level has oversized above grade basement windows along its north wall, as well as great storage - including a storage area under the entrance staircase, and a huge storage room off the landing that is combined with the furnace/household mechanical area, a workshop area, and a laundry area with washer and dryer. The landing and the family recreation room are finished with vinyl flooring, and the family room itself - which is quite large - features a double French door entry, panelled walls, and a corner raised platform ideal for media equipment or for an electric fireplace. Completing this level is a very spacious bedroom that has the coziness of broadloom, ample space for a sitting or study area, and a large double closet with organizers.
