Ontario Cottage style house on a quiet street
Current owners added walk-in closet and ensuite
By Mark Schadenberg
My listing at 161 Sydenham in Woodstock is an Ontario Cottage, but truthfully it's a brilliant 2-bedroom bungalow ideal for any empty nester.
In the past 14 years many improvements have taken place in this home. The eat-in kitchen now has an island with a double sink, bright white cabinets, and a gas stove which will stay. The kitchen is open to the living - dining rooms aw well.
At the time of the renovations – ALL the plumbing in the home was upgraded.
DINING & LIVING ROOMS
A couple generations ago, a previous owner added a dining room addition which provides a ton of natural light with its windows on three sides.
The dining room is completely open to the formal living room, so you could say this combination room is about 28 feet by 12 feet.
The house has a sunroom at the side door and another large sunroom at the back of the house.
The side sunroom would be your usual entrance as it’s along the driveway to the detached garage.
From this side door is a hallway with a main-floor laundry and also a 4-piece modern bathroom.

Another real estate term heard often is ‘highest-and-best use’, which translates into the idea that this property is best designed with 2 bedrooms for an empty-nester scenario. Therefore, a smallish third bedroom was replaced with a 3-piece ensuite and convenient walk-in closet to the master bedroom. The current owners smartly closed off a doorway from the living room to create a large master bedroom area.
There is a second bedroom on the main floor with impeccable hardwood flooring.
Modification number four by the current owners was to move the staircase to the basement as this improvement created a larger kitchen. The basement is essentially unfinished, but the ceilings are tall enough for a future rec room.
The furnace is less than 2 years old and the hydro panel box is breakers. The home’s water softener would also be included in the sale.
OPEN HOUSE
Sunday, July 23, 2-4 p.m.
See you then!
With a 66 x 132 level lot, this home can simply be described as a brilliant choice versus moving to a bungalow townhouse condo. Why? The 161 Sydenham home provides a large lot for kids (Likely the grand-kids) and gardens for your green thumb.
The garage is built for 1 car, but it's extra deep, so it includes a workshop. A storage shed is found behind this large garage.
The front covered porch is great to read the morning newspaper.
Found on a quiet street, the house is near parks and shopping, and in the Winchester Street school zone.
