1249 Royal Court

The height of family living awaits in this prime Citadel cul-de-sac, centered around a beautifully landscaped cul-de-sac island. Just a short walk to parks and schools—yet quietly tucked away, offering a rare sense of privacy and calm. From the moment you arrive, the home sets a tone of warmth and care, beginning with a lovely front garden complete with sitting area—an ideal spot to enjoy your morning coffee or unwind in the shade during the day.

Inside, the home unfolds into a thoughtfully designed interior. The kitchen is finished in a two-tone palette with crisp white upper cabinetry and rich dark lower cabinetry, perfectly complemented by light Silestone countertops and a classic tile backsplash. A full-height pantry cupboard provides abundant storage for the avid cook, while the extra-wide refrigerator and freezer, deep sink, and radiant cooktop—ready to be converted to a gas range—make this space as practical as it is inviting.

The kitchen flows seamlessly into the dining room, where a set of  bay windows creates a stunning focal point, centering on glass French doors that frame the lush greenery of the backyard. There is ample room here for a full formal dining setup, making it equally suited for everyday meals and memorable gatherings.

Just beyond, the sunken living room offers a space rich in character and comfort. A vaulted ceiling enhances the sense of openness, while the staircase adds architectural interest on one side and three oversized windows flood the room with natural light on the other. At it’s heart is a gas fireplace with a rustic brick hearth, creating a warm and inviting focal point.

Near the front of the home, a beautifully lit office or den provides the perfect work-from-home space, complete with views of the front yard and cul-de-sac island. Its vaulted ceiling further enhances the sense of space and light. The main floor also includes a two-piece powder room finished with elegant wainscotting, as well as a spacious laundry room featuring front-loading washer and dryer, a wash sink, built-in cabinetry, and generous storage. From here, you have direct access to the double car garage, which also includes a convenient side door leading to the backyard. An additional under-stair storage area, accessed from the foyer, ensures no space is wasted.

Upstairs, all three bedrooms are generously sized and filled with natural light, but the primary suite truly stands apart. This retreat features rich hardwood flooring, crown moulding, and a walk-in closet complete with built-in organizers. The ensuite is both spacious and refined, offering dual sinks, a glass-tiled walk-in shower, and a skylight that continues the home’s emphasis on natural light.

The main bathroom on the upper level is equally well-appointed, with an oversized soaker tub, dual sinks, and a rich vanity topped with a bright granite counter. There is also ample space to accommodate a proper linen closet, enhancing both convenience and storage.

The backyard is a private and peaceful escape, thoughtfully designed. A generous patio provides the perfect setting for outdoor dining and relaxation, while raised garden beds and a large grassy area offer space for children and pets to play. Two powered sheds are discreetly tucked away on either side of the yard so as not to interrupt the open, green feel of the space—one of which is set on a concrete slab—adding versatility for storage, hobbies, or workspace.

This home has been meticulously maintained and thoughtfully upgraded over time. Key improvements include a new roof in 2016, high-efficiency windows installed in 2020, a new furnace in 2011, and a hot water tank that is only two years old. Yes, the home has air conditioning. Notably, the Poly B plumbing has been fully replaced—an increasingly rare and valuable upgrade in Citadel that can save future owners significant expense and provide added peace of mind.

Combining a quiet, family-friendly location with refined interior updates, functional design, and a truly serene outdoor setting, this is a home that delivers both lifestyle and lasting value.
