198 Byron Avenue

Welcome to 198 Byron Avenue in Dorchester: the kind of home that just feels right from the moment you pull into the driveway. Maybe it's the way the sunlight pours through the front windows in the morning, or the quiet, leafy backyard where the breeze always seems to find you. Maybe it's knowing you're just a short walk from parks, schools, and coffee yet only minutes from the 401 when you need to get somewhere.This 4-level side split has been lovingly cared for by the same family for 13 years, and it shows in the way every space feels both functional and inviting. The open-concept main floor is where life happens with a bright, updated kitchen (2021) that flows seamlessly into the dining and living areas, perfect for family dinners or casual nights in with friends. Upstairs, you'll find three spacious bedrooms and a beautifully renovated bathroom with a soaker tub and ensuite privileges off the primary bedroom.The lower level has its own backyard entrance, a gorgeous family room with lookout windows and cozy fireplace, a fully updated bathroom (2021), and a 4th bedroom ideal for guests, in-laws, or a growing teen who wants their own space. The basement level offers a den currently used as a playroom (it could be your gym or hobby space too!), plus laundry and storage. Notable updates include: furnace (2021) and A/C (2014), roof shingles and sheathing (2011), windows (2011), hard surface flooring throughout (2022), kitchen renovation (2023) and a timeless, neutral palette that works with any style.Outside, the backyard feels like a private retreat with mature shade trees and a deck that practically insists you stay for one more coffee. Parking is a breeze with a single-car garage plus room for four more in the driveway.Opportunities like this don't come up often in Dorchester: a truly turnkey home in a sought-after community where neighbours become friends and life moves just a little slower.
