18 Carman St, Norwich
A Home Filled With Character, and Thoughtful Updates
Some homes are memorable because of their size, others because of their setting. This one stands out because it offers both, along with a sense of warmth and character that is hard to replicate. Backing onto a conservation area with no rear neighbours, this property delivers privacy, versatility, and carefully planned living space on every level.
A Main Floor Designed for Everyday Living
The heart of the home is the beautifully updated kitchen, renovated in 2022. Quartz countertops, a large island, a built-in pantry, and generous cabinetry create a space that is both functional and welcoming. The breakfast nook with built-in seating (and hidden storage!) offers a cozy place for morning coffee or casual meals, while maintaining excellent flow into the rest of the home.
A separate dining room with a large window provides a comfortable setting for family dinners and entertaining. The living room is filled with natural light and features cathedral ceilings and a wood-burning stove, adding both charm and warmth. Practicality is not overlooked, with a discreet main floor laundry complete with built-in cabinetry that is perfect for sorting laundry, a 2-piece bathroom, and a family entrance from the two-car attached garage.
A flexible room off the front entrance adds even more value, easily serving as a home office, guest bedroom, school room, or creative space depending on your needs.
Comfortable Upstairs
Upstairs, the primary bedroom offers a private 3-piece ensuite, creating a quiet retreat at the end of the day. Two additional bedrooms are served by a recently updated family bathroom featuring a deep soaker tub, making this level ideal for growing families or guests.
Expanded Living Space in the Basement
The finished basement extends the home’s versatility even further. With two additional bedrooms, including one with its own 3-piece ensuite, this level is well suited for guests, teenagers, or multi-generational living. A large rec room provides space for relaxation or play, while a cold cellar and additional 2-piece bathroom add convenience and storage.
Notable Updates for Peace of Mind
Over the past five years, this home has seen extensive improvements including all new flooring throughout, a fully renovated kitchen, an updated family bathroom, and the installation of a new furnace and central air system. These updates allow buyers to enjoy the home with confidence, knowing that major investments have already been made.
A Private Backyard Built for Summer Living
The outdoor space is just as impressive as the interior. The beautifully landscaped yard is filled with established perennial gardens and offers complete privacy thanks to the conservation area behind. A large deck serves as the main outdoor living space and includes a gas BBQ hookup, a sunken above-ground pool, and a six-person hot tub, making it perfect for entertaining or relaxing with family.
Terraced steps lead down to a built-in fire pit, creating a separate gathering space ideal for evening fires. A heated 12x8 backyard studio with power adds valuable bonus space that can be used as a hobby room, workshop, or quiet retreat.
A Home to Grow Into
This isn’t just a property — it’s a home where memories are waiting to be made. Mornings can begin in the sunlit breakfast nook while the backyard blooms with perennial gardens, and summer evenings are perfect for laughter around the fire pit or a dip in the sunken pool. Inside, cathedral ceilings, cozy fireplaces, and flexible living spaces invite both everyday comfort and special celebrations. Whether it’s quiet moments in the primary suite, creative projects in the backyard studio, or family gatherings on the deck, this home is ready to embrace every chapter of life.
