The Backyard Is the Star of the Show

Let’s start with the feature everyone is going to talk about.

The beautifully landscaped backyard feels like your own private retreat. There is an in-ground pool for hot summer days, a hot tub for cooler evenings and a spacious sunroom overlooking it all.

You can swim, relax, entertain friends or enjoy the backyard without having to pack the car, fight traffic or remember which child forgot their towel.

A gas line to the barbecue makes outdoor cooking even easier, and the pool includes a winter safety cover.

This is a backyard designed to be used and enjoyed.

A Custom Kitchen Made for Gathering

Inside, the beautifully updated custom kitchen is the heart of the home.

Quality finishes and an open-concept layout allow the kitchen to flow naturally into the main living areas. There is plenty of room for everyday family life, holiday dinners and entertaining without the person cooking being left out of the conversation.

The home also has an inviting front porch and an attached garage, adding both curb appeal and everyday convenience.

Five Bedrooms and Plenty of Flexibility

With three bedrooms on the main floor and two more downstairs, there is room for a growing family, overnight guests, a home office, hobbies or a combination of everything.

The main-floor bathroom was updated in 2022, and the bungalow layout gives you comfortable everyday living on one level.

The fully finished lower level adds an incredible amount of usable space. It is currently arranged to accommodate extended family but can easily function as part of one large family home.

The lower-level kitchen was completed in 2023, giving this space even more flexibility for multi-generational living, guests or older children who would appreciate a little independence.

And honestly, what teenager wouldn’t love having access to their own fridge?

Major Updates Have Already Been Completed

This home has received several important updates, including:

• Roof replaced in 2023

• Heat pump installed in 2024

• On-demand boiler installed in 2024

• Gas line to the barbecue added in 2024

• Pool winter safety cover added in 2023

• Main-floor bathroom updated in 2022

• Lower-level kitchen completed in 2023

• Electric vehicle charging plug in the garage

• 200-amp electrical panel installed in 2025

• Electrical panel ready for the future addition of a pool heater

• Pool liner approximately nine years old

These are the kinds of updates that may not all fit into one pretty photo, but they matter when you’re choosing a home.

Designed for How Families Actually Live

What makes 1259 Colborne Road special is its flexibility.

It can work for a family that needs five bedrooms, someone who works from home, buyers who frequently host guests or a multi-generational household that wants separate spaces while still living under one roof.

The backyard provides the fun, while the layout and updates provide the practicality.

You can entertain around the pool during the summer, enjoy the hot tub when the temperature drops and use the sunroom as the perfect place to sit and admire the backyard without actually having to get into the pool.

Could 1259 Colborne Road Be Your Next Home?

With 3+2 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, a custom kitchen, a finished lower level, an attached garage and flexible space for extended family, this home has plenty to offer inside.

Then you step into the backyard.

The in-ground pool, hot tub, sunroom and beautiful landscaping turn this property into a place where people will genuinely want to gather.

If you’ve been looking for a spacious Sarnia bungalow with a backyard that feels like a private retreat, you need to see 1259 Colborne Road in person.
