Welcome to Roper Estates, one of Peterborough's most prestigious and established enclaves. Set on 0.586 acres of mature, private landscape with 100.13 feet of frontage, 29 Merino Road offers a land position that simply cannot be replicated - a premier lot in a decades-old subdivision where parcels of this scale rarely come to market. Built in 1954, this mid-century modern bungalow offers 2,175 sq ft above grade plus a 1,591 sq ft finished walk-out lower level. At its heart is a 400 sq ft addition designed by the late Eberhard Zeidler, one of Canada's most celebrated architects - a light-filled dining room with a gas fireplace and garden views, equally at home as a family room or a gallery for your collection. Rich mahogany panelling, three fireplaces and expansive walls of glass capture the spirit of the era, and the living room - more than 30 feet long and warmed by a wood-burning fireplace - overlooks the garden with a walk-out. The main floor features the primary bedroom with 4-piece ensuite, two more bedrooms, a 2-piece bath, and a breakfast room with laundry. The walk-out lower level, with separate entrance, adds a family room over 25 feet long with a wood-burning fireplace, a recreation room, a fourth bedroom and a 3-piece bath - with in-law potential. Central air, central vacuum, monitored security, an attached double garage and room for six more in the drive complete the picture. A five-minute walk to Roper Park, minutes to Peterborough Regional Health Centre, and within the West End's sought-after school catchment. Enjoy it as-is or make it your own, and secure an irreplaceable lot without the cost and time of building new. A full pre-inspection and material reports are available, along with a virtual tour, photo gallery and floor plans. Flexible possession. A rare offering in an irreplaceable location.
