Welcome to 123 Highland Road in the desirable Strathcona/Hillcroft neighborhood in York Suburban school district. This cozy three bedroom, two full bath ranch home was completely renovated in 2018. The family expected this to be their forever home and designed every inch of it with love and intention.
As you pull up, you will notice extensively designed landscaping, which was completed last summer. As you walk toward the home, you are greeted by a newly renovated brick front porch. Enjoy the modern features such as custom wood wrapped posts, authentic slate tile and custom wood slatted privacy wall. The existing vinyl siding was replaced with Hardie Board in 2020. Hardie board, because it is made with cement, offers longevity and tends to come with a 50 year warranty as well as fire and storm resistance. All gutter systems have been changed from 4" white to 6" black K Gutters to give better drainage and more curb appeal. The back of the home was finished with black T1-11 boards to modernize and replace existing vinyl. The entire front and back of the home has been meticulously landscaped, with over 20 mature Holly trees being removed! The backyard doubled in size and now boasts plenty of space for outdoor fun cornhole, swinging with the kids, bonfires, etc. The wooden playhouse and swing set will transfer with the home. The deck has a wood bottom surround and a vintage Nordic hot tub that transfers as is.
The home features two original brick wood-burning fireplaces as well as an open floor plan with a plethora of natural light. The family room, dining area, kitchen, living room and all bedrooms feature original hardwood floors that have been restored & refinished dark walnut. The family room has vaulted ceilings and transom windows to allow maximum sunshine into a room that already has two sliding glass doors and plenty of windows. Watch the seasons change from your sofa as you look out at the treetops watch the moon cycle through the sky, watch the snow fall in January
The main level bathroom was completely renovated and features a custom tile shower and tub surround. Enjoy relaxing in the oversized soaker tub after a long day! The custom open shelves are cedar, style them to create a spa like environment for yourself. All plumbing and wire mesh insulation from the original 1948 build was replaced and updated.
In the completely renovated kitchen, you will notice stainless steel appliances, updated in 2020, featuring a gas stove in the island and a modern hood overtop, butcher block countertops, a deep oversized quartz sink, a large walk-in pantry and beautiful open shelving to create a curated look and continue the open flow of the floor plan. This home has been the vision + product of the interior designer who created this to be her familys forever home. No corners have been cut to make this the perfect place to entertain and make memories. The Primary bedroom and BR 2 have been redesigned to offer a large custom closet in Primary BR. BR 3 has built-in shelves.
