Surrounded by lush plantings and greenery on a cul-de-sac, 2717 Mountaingate is a gorgeous 3+BD/3BA mid-century home with vast garden-level family or guest suite, open common areas flooded with natural light, bay views, and multiple front and rear terraces.

This home’s magic and warmth of spirit are evident before you even enter, as you wend your way down a planted walkway past beautiful flowers, shrubs, and trees towards the front door. Private and tucked away behind its detached two-car garage, the home feels irresistibly secluded and peaceful. Between the garage and the house, an ingeniously placed front terrace stretches to your left: the perfect place to relax with friends.
Once inside, you will find yourself in a welcoming entry area with the open living and dining areas stretching out before you and the kitchen, laundry, and breakfast nook to your left. The common areas boast beautifully preserved random-plank hardwood floors, an elegant wood-burning fireplace, and sliding glass doors to the rear patio and garden. The kitchen offers adjacent reach-in pantry storage, quartz counters and subway-tiled backsplashes, and stylish modern hardware and appliances. The cheerful breakfast nook overlooks the front patio.
The expansive rear patio is exquisitely framed by a wide openwork arbor that allows light through and into the common areas. The garden brims with greenery and flowers, including a Meyer lemon tree, wisteria vines, palms, and other plants. Through a gate to your right and down a few steps, a second, lower-level patio area completes the idyllic picture.
Back inside, your home features three main-floor bedrooms and two full baths: two bedrooms with bay views and shared hall bath, plus the beautiful owner’s suite, whose windows gaze over the rear garden. On the basement level, you will discover this home’s stunning bonus space: a vast finished family game and media room with full bath that could easily double as a luxurious guest suite. Featuring a stately wood-burning fireplace, eye-catching parquet hardwood floors, and direct access to the lower rear garden, this inspiring space offers a host of tantalizing possibilities.
