256 Catalina Drive, Scarborough

There's something about a great Guildwood bungalow that just feels like home. Set on a quiet street in one of Scarborough's most loved neighbourhoods, 256 Catalina combines the ease of bungalow living with thoughtful design, beautiful craftsmanship and far more space than you might expect. Extensively renovated and lovingly maintained, the main floor is filled with details that give the home quality and character, including hardwood floors, extra-high baseboards, three-panel doors and transom windows that carry natural light throughout. At the heart of the home is the custom kitchen, where quality millwork and expansive, almost floor-to-ceiling windows create a bright and welcoming space equally suited to busy mornings, family dinners and having friends over. Three bedrooms and two bathrooms on the main floor make everyday living remarkably convenient, with room for family, guests or a dedicated workspace without giving up the simplicity of one-level living. Downstairs, the finished lower level expands the possibilities with an additional bedroom, full bathroom and plenty of space for movie nights, overnight guests, older kids, hobbies or simply somewhere to spread out. Outside, the beautifully landscaped property feels private and established, with a backyard designed to be enjoyed. There's room to garden, entertain, relax or spend a quiet afternoon outdoors, while the private driveway and carport take care of the practical side. And then there's Guildwood itself. Guildwood GO makes getting downtown remarkably convenient, while neighbourhood shopping, schools, parks, trails, the historic Guild Inn Estate and Lake Ontario put so much of what makes this community special close to home. Beautifully cared for, thoughtfully updated and filled with details you simply don't find in every house, 256 Catalina offers the comfort of a classic bungalow with the finish, flexibility and sense of home that make you want to stay for years.
