259 Churchill Dr. is situated on a mature, extra-deep lot across from the river in gorgeous Riverview.<\/p>\n
Riverview is one of those neighbourhoods.<\/p>\n
Located on the east side of
\nOsborne Street, just north of the
\nSt. Vital Bridge, it\u2019s an area which, for some reason, flies under the radar of many homebuyers. That is, until they venture in to look at a home and fall in love with its quiet, tree-lined streets and eclectic collection of houses.<\/p>\n
One of those homes is a 77-year-old, two-storey that sits on a majestic lot at 259 Churchill Dr.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is a super rare family home that has received a good number of updates over the past six years,\u201d
\nRachel Burns of Century 21 Bachman & Associates says of the 1,886 sq. ft. residence. \u201cNot only that, but its location is simply amazing.\u201d<\/p>\n
The setting shines for three reasons, she explains.<\/p>\n
\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t The stately electric fireplace is the focal point of the living room. <\/p>\n \u201cFirst, it offers breathtaking river and parkway views. Second, it provides rare front drive access to an attached, insulated double garage. Finally, there\u2019s the backyard.\u201d<\/p>\n Which, is essentially, a private park.<\/p>\n \u201cThe reason for that is that it\u2019s 180 feet deep,\u201d says Burns. \u201cIt\u2019s massive, is fenced, and comes with an oversized backyard deck, custom shed, lots of mature trees and plenty of room for the kids to play in complete safety. You can also enjoy five kilometres of riverside walkways that are just steps away. They lead to destinations such the Forks and the iconic Bridge Drive-In.\u201d<\/p>\n The lovingly maintained home is just as fetching as its surroundings. Step inside, and you\u2019re immediately surrounded by yesteryear character and charm that blend seamlessly with contemporary function.<\/p>\n \u201cLike most homes from the late \u201940s, it features a centre hall floor plan. In this case, there\u2019s a dining room and kitchen to the left, and a living room to the right,\u201d says Burns.<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t The dining room is flooded with light and flows seamlessly into the beautifully finished kitchen.<\/p>\n And while many older homes lack modern flow and function, that isn\u2019t the case here, she notes.<\/p>\n \u201cWhen you enter the landing area from the enclosed foyer, the first thing you notice is that the dining room opens beautifully onto the kitchen,\u201d she says. \u201cThe wide entrance into the kitchen makes it easy to move between the two spaces when entertaining. It also (offers) improved light flow. The elegant dining room features beautiful bay windows and flows perfectly into the kitchen.\u201d<\/p>\n Then, there\u2019s the elegant living room across the way.<\/p>\n \u201cAs you walk over you can\u2019t help but appreciate the gorgeous hardwoods, which were refinished in 2024 \u2014 they run through the landing area and dining room, and can be found upstairs in the landing, hallway and one bedroom. The expansive living room is a perfect place to relax or visit in with its cosy electric fireplace.\u201d<\/p>\n Ascend a vintage staircase edged by a classic, wrought-iron banister with ornate spindles and you\u2019ll arrive at a well-ordered upper level that offers all kinds of family friendly function.<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t A huge deck with a barbecue area and seating overlooks the park-like backyard.<\/p>\n \u201cThis home is perfect for growing families for many reasons, but one of the primary reasons is that it offers four bedrooms upstairs \u2014 three generous secondary bedrooms and an exceptional primary bedroom,\u201d Burns says.<\/p>\n As advertised, the primary bedroom truly is a special space.<\/p>\n \u201cIt starts off with a spacious bonus den,\u201d she says. <\/p>\n \u201cThat makes for a very private bedroom that offers a three-piece ensuite and views of the river, which you can also see from the den. There\u2019s also an updated four-piece bath, and one of the secondary bedrooms is like a primary bedroom.\u201d<\/p>\n Downstairs, there\u2019s a rec room, three-piece bath, laundry area and plenty of storage space.<\/p>\n
