Some houses try really hard to impress you. This one just gives you a ridiculous amount of space to work with.

Tucked away on a quiet cul-de-sac in Gardiner Heights, this 1,649 sq. ft. bi-level offers 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a double attached garage and a layout that is anything but cookie-cutter.

Step inside and the first thing you'll notice is just how much room there is. The bright front living room features a large bay window, while the kitchen offers an abundance of oak cabinetry, a centre island and plenty of counter space. From there, things open into a dining area and an almost 20-foot wide great room with vaulted ceilings, loads of windows and a gas fireplace wrapped in warm oak and tile. It's the kind of space that could handle Christmas morning, Sunday football, a house full of people, or a quiet Tuesday night equally well.

All three bedrooms are on the main level, including a primary bedroom with its own 3-piece ensuite, plus a full 4-piece bathroom. Downstairs, the basement is unfinished and ready for someone else's ideas. Home theatre? Gym? Extra bedrooms? Giant kids' zone? You get to decide instead of paying for someone else's questionable 2004 basement renovation.

And don't overlook the lot. At more than 9,000 sq. ft., there's some genuine breathing room back here, with mature trees, established landscaping, lawn, a deck and plenty of opportunity to turn the backyard into something pretty special. The aerial view really shows it off: this is an established neighbourhood surrounded by mature tree canopy, not a postage-stamp yard staring directly into six other houses.

There's also a fully insulated 23' x 23' attached garage, double concrete driveway, central air conditioning and plenty of parking.

Is there opportunity here to put your own stamp on things? Absolutely. But that's exactly what makes 2726 Poplar Place E interesting. The space is already here. The lot is already here. The neighbourhood is already here.

Now you get to make it yours.
