20 Bayswater Road

Description

When this home was built, it was considered the finest address in Dartmouth, and Bayswater Road was the street everyone wanted. It still delivers. A full brick front with arched entries sits behind an exposed aggregate circular drive, rare for the area, with mature gardens and a double garage (214 x 266). Inside, a tiled foyer opens to a sweeping curved staircase under a crystal chandelier. The living and dining rooms have hardwood, crown moulding, ceiling medallions and lots of natural light, with French doors to a deck fully replaced in 2024. The white kitchen has newer granite counters, a wall oven and a sunny breakfast nook. The family room is warmed by a propane fireplace with a handmade brick hearth and built-ins. Main-floor laundry, a hobby room and a 2-piece bath complete the level. Upstairs: 4 bedrooms, a primary suite with walk-in closet and spa-inspired ensuite with soaker tub and separate shower, a main bath with double vanity, and a sauna with its own separate shower just outside the door. The walk-out lower level adds a large rec room, a den with mudroom area and outside entry, a fifth bedroom, a 2-piece bath, and a workshop under the garage with power in place and a raised floor with storage below. Set on 15,000 sq. ft. with direct access to Bell Lake. Swim, kayak or paddleboard steps from your back door, with the lake trail and Abenaki Aquatic Club close by. Original quality throughout, lovingly kept by one family for over 40 years.
