When visitors first discover Stratford, they always seem to keep coming back time and time again.  Now, more and more visitors are desirous to live here!  If you are a buyer seeking a wonderful in-town home, then 164 Ballantyne Ave. will make the temptation to move to our wonderful vibrant city even more irresistible! 

Ballantyne Avenue is considered one of the most desirable streets to call home, and for good reason.

The curb appeal of homes on Ballantyne Avenue is enhanced by the mature trees dotting the wide-paved street and the beauty of the neighbouring homes.  It’s located in the heart of the theatre district…. five doors down from the Festival Theatre and a five-minute walk to the new Tom Patterson Theatre.  Upper Queen’s Park, Lake Victoria, the tennis club, up-town shopping, restaurants, quaint cafés, and a host of other amenities are minutes away.

This home was custom-built by the current owners in 1967 and lovingly cared for.  It offers an interior that evokes the impression of understated elegance with a casual feel that makes you feel right at home. This home offers great curb appeal with mature trees, boxed hedging, interlocked driveway, walkways, and front patio area. The beautiful gardens can be enjoyed from numerous patio and seating areas dotting the backyard. 

The upper balcony is accessed from the large patio doors in the dining room.  It is one of many fabulous design features of this home.  The balcony provides an amazing view of Lake Victoria; hence, you enjoy front row seats to the daily swan dance and variety of waterfowl parading the walking paths surrounding the lake.  At night, it’s the fireflies that will draw your attention as they light up the backyard. Stargazing is a favourite pastime too! 

Of course, the “Theatre Season” offers spectacular live theatre productions, but there is so much more to do in Stratford.  Tennis, golf, kayaking, cycling, jogging, picnics in the park, and photography is yours for the taking.  Winter includes skating on the river, tobogganing, curling and snow sledding and Nordic skiing can be enjoyed depending on your interest or mood!
