Extraordinary Storybook Home

This extraordinary storybook-style home on a friendly cul-de-sac has been lovingly cared for over the past 35 years by the current owner. Inside, you’ll find charming period details, original lighting, pegged oak plank floors, curved wood cabinetry, and vaulted beamed ceilings that give the home its warm, and signature architectural  character.

The layout is easy and practical, with all three bedrooms on the same level along with a full bathroom and a generous nook space. A half bath and laundry room sit conveniently at the back of the home. Downstairs, a bonus room offers flexibility—perfect for a home office, creative space, or a relaxed hangout. There’s also plenty of storage throughout.

Set back among other storybook-style  homes, the cul-de-sac has a welcoming feel, where neighbors often gather as the evenings stretch a little longer this time of year. Just around the corner, you’ll find cafés, bakeries, restaurants, and shops in the Dimond, while Sausal Creek and Dimond Park offer a nearby escape into nature.
