Welcome to 447 Simpson Road, a sprawling bungalow over 4,000 sqft living space on a premier 90' x 113.5' lot in prestigious Faircrest Heights, where original mid-century character meets thoughtful modern updates. Impressive curb appeal welcomes you with a curved driveway offering ample parking, a stone ramp for easy accessibility, and mature gardens, while a wide, light-filled foyer with original slate flooring sets the tone for the exceptional flow throughout. Every space in this home is generously proportioned, from the large living room, framed by a picture window overlooking the changing seasons and anchored by a striking original stone fireplace with a custom-built mantle, to the big dining room and spacious family room at the rear. The custom-designed chef's kitchen boasts luxury stone countertops, double wall ovens, a gas cooktop with down-draft vent, and abundant storage, with both the kitchen and family room opening onto the covered deck and backyard - perfect for effortless indoor-outdoor living and entertaining. The main level offers 4 generously sized bedrooms and the convenience of main-floor laundry, including a huge primary retreat with a walk-in closet and renovated ensuite featuring heated floors and a walk-in shower, while the main bathroom is equally elevated with a jet bath. The finished lower level expands your living area with an open recreation layout, a handcrafted wet bar, a brick fireplace with custom mantels, extensive storage, plus a versatile room & 2-piece bath - ideal for guests or extended family. Outside, enjoy a stone patio surrounded by mature gardens in a quiet, wide-street neighbourhood with an active community association - walking distance to hospital, cross-country ski trails, a toboggan hill, bike lanes, schools, and churches, and just minutes to Elmvale Acres Shopping Centre. Homes on this sought-after street rarely come to market - this exceptional, move-in-ready bungalow is a rare opportunity not to be missed.
