96 Elgin Street

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. Concrete driveway and attached garage provide parking for 3. Close to the village pharmacy, library and community centre, with an easy drive to Ingersoll, Woodstock, Stratford and London.
