Tucked into the heart of Old Markham Village, 49 Church Street offers something rare-a true cottage in the city designed for those ready to embrace a more relaxed, rewarding next chapter. This beautifully renovated 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom bungalow sits on a premium corner lot, blending timeless charm with thoughtful modern updates. Inside, the home feels warm, easy, and intentional-perfect for empty nesters who want comfort without compromise. The layout flows effortlessly, with refined finishes that elevate everyday living while still feeling welcoming and unpretentious. From the gleaming hardwood floors to the fresh new paint, extended kitchen cabinetry and elegant quartz & granite countertops, every detail has been curated to create a space that feels both polished and peaceful. But it's outside where this home truly transforms. Step into your own private retreat-where mornings begin with coffee by the pool and evenings end under the glow of a fire bowl. With over $100,000 invested in the backyard, this is a space designed to be experienced. A saltwater pool with a cascading waterfall, hot tub, and professionally landscaped gardens surrounded by mature trees create a setting that feels miles away from the city-yet you're right in the middle of it all. It's the kind of property that invites you to slow down, entertain less formally, and enjoy life more fully. And when you're ready to step out, everything is within reach. Stroll to Main Street Markham for coffee, dinner, or local events. With nearby parks, transit, the GO Station, Markville Mall, and Markham Stouffville Hospital, convenience is seamlessly woven into your lifestyle. For those thinking ahead, Committee of Adjustment approval offers the flexibility to expand-whether for guests, hobbies, or simply more room to grow into your next phase. Move in, unwind, and rediscover what home is meant to feel like. All offers welcome. Motivated Seller.
