59 Bakersfield Drive, Cambridge, ON
A Home That Grows With You
Some homes just work. The layout makes sense, the spaces feel generous, and no matter what stage of life you are in, there is always room for everyone. 59 Bakersfield Drive is that kind of home.
Tucked into one of Cambridge's well-established residential neighbourhoods, this four-level backsplit has been thoughtfully maintained and updated to offer a lifestyle that balances everyday practicality with genuine comfort. From the moment you pull into the wide paved driveway and take in the clean brick and siding exterior, the mature trees, and the tidy front garden, you sense that this home has been cared for.
A Kitchen Worth Coming Home To
Step inside and the kitchen immediately commands your attention. This is not a builder-standard afterthought. Warm shaker-style cabinetry in rich honey tones reaches toward the ceiling, paired with dark granite-look countertops and a beautifully detailed mosaic tile backsplash that catches the light from every angle. Stainless steel appliances, including a French door refrigerator, slide-in range, over-range microwave, and dishwasher, make the space as functional as it is attractive. The breakfast bar seats two comfortably, and a wall-mounted television keeps the cook connected to the room. Hardwood floors tie it all together, running seamlessly from the kitchen into the open dining area beyond.
Open-Concept Living, Thoughtfully Layered
The dining area is bright and spacious, with large windows framing leafy views and a ceiling fan keeping the air moving through warmer months. The room flows naturally from the kitchen, making it easy to host a dinner party or keep an eye on the kids while preparing a meal. Peer through the open railing and you glimpse the recreation room below, giving the main level a sense of depth and openness that is rare in a home of this style.
Upper Level: Rest and Retreat
Three bedrooms occupy the upper level, each with its own character. The primary bedroom is a calm, neutral space with soft carpet, a closet, and a window that fills the room with natural light. The second bedroom is a comfortable size, easily accommodating a double bed and furnishings, with a window and closet as well. The 4-piece bathroom is finished with bold dark tile in the tub and shower surround, a classic black and white floor tile, and brushed nickel fixtures, giving it a clean, timeless look.
Lower Level: Gather and Unwind
The recreation room is where this home truly earns its keep. Anchored by a gas fireplace with a handsome stone surround, this is the room where evenings happen. The warm walls, hardwood flooring, and open staircase connection to the main level give the space an inviting, settled quality. Whether it is movie night, a hockey game on the big screen, or a quiet evening by the fire, this room delivers. A 3-piece bathroom on this level adds convenience, and additional flexible space can be used as a home office, playroom, or hobby area, as the current owners have done.
Basement Level: Practical and Purposeful
The lowest level of the home provides a den, a laundry room, and a crawl space that offers meaningful storage, a feature that is easy to overlook but genuinely appreciated once you live in the home. The den functions as a fourth sleeping space for guests or extended family, with carpet flooring and its own quiet corner of the house.
The Backyard: Your Private Outdoor Retreat
Outside, the fully fenced backyard is a genuine asset. A large wood deck spans the rear of the home, accessed directly from the lower level, and provides a generous outdoor living and entertaining area. Mature trees offer canopy and privacy, and the deep lawn gives children and pets room to run. A detached shed provides additional storage for garden tools and seasonal items. The side gate allows easy access from the driveway.
The Neighbourhood
Bakersfield Drive sits within one of Cambridge's comfortable, established residential areas, surrounded by similar family homes on well-kept lots. Schools, parks, shopping, and everyday amenities are within easy reach, as are the commuter routes connecting Cambridge to Kitchener, Waterloo, Guelph, and the Highway 401 corridor. This is the kind of street where neighbours know each other and families put down roots.
