96 Elgin Street

Overview

Quiet, draft-free and comfortable in every season. 96 Elgin Street is part of a PHIUS+ 2018 certified Passive House project in the village of Embro, built to one of the most demanding energy-efficiency standards in the world. The result is a home with even temperatures year-round, very little outside noise and fresh, filtered air in every room. This freehold townhome offers 3 bedrooms, 3 full baths and approx. 2,266 sq ft finished, with two bedrooms on the main floor, including the primary with walk-in closet and ensuite, for easy one-level living. Upstairs, a family room loft, the third bedroom and a full bath make space for guests, grandkids or a home office. The great room features soaring ceilings, custom oak cabinetry and seating, a built-in electric fireplace and a remote-controlled ceiling fan. The kitchen pairs quartz counters with an induction range, plus a pantry with granite counters and a beverage fridge. Since buying new, the owner has added approx. $90,000 in documented upgrades: fresh paint with three limewash feature walls, custom closets in every bedroom and the front hall, custom laundry cabinetry with granite, electric blinds, retractable central vac and a full Gladiator storage system in the garage. Hardwood floors, an oak staircase and tilt-and-turn windows complete the interior. Out back, enjoy a 14x24 concrete patio extension, a Yardistry 12x14 cedar gazebo with eavestroughs and mosquito netting, custom landscaping, three Corten steel planters and privacy fencing. All-electric mechanicals include a ducted Mitsubishi heat pump, Zehnder ERV, heat pump water heater and water softener, under a standing-seam steel roof.
