28 Hillendale Avenue

We look at the photographs of this brilliant three-bedroom Hillendale bungalow with its high-out-of-the-ground two-bedroom in-law suite and think, Yeah, those work, that's exactly what we're selling here. There's none of the usual maddening exaggeration, it really is this good, this bright, this desirable. The kitchen has been completely reworked in the last couple of years and is the open-plan hub around which the house flows. The quartz-topped island is large enough that it might show up on the better maps, and the materials throughout feel carefully chosen, not slapdash. The bedrooms are tucked away at the other end of the house, where it's always quiet, and out behind the house is a glammy sort of deck and a garden big enough for team sports. Finally, hidden deep inside the unassuming garage, there is an insulated hideaway/studio/mountaintop cave fit for the rock star in you. It's almost enough to keep you out of the house itself. The yard has had lots of recent landscaping including a new firepit. The yard is very private in the Summer months.
