About this home
What a gorgeous bungalow! Welcome to 2979 Jennifer Drive, an original-owner home offering comfortable main-floor living in Peterborough's desirable University Heights neighbourhood. Just steps away from trail access, and located close to Riverview Park & Zoo, the Rotary Greenway Trail, Trent University and surrounding green spaces. The bright, open-concept kitchen, dining and living area features a cozy gas fireplace and French patio doors leading to the back deck and beautifully maintained yard. A separate main-floor family room provides additional living space and could potentially be converted into another bedroom or home office. The spacious primary suite includes a walk-in closet and updated 4-piece ensuite. An additional bedroom, updated 3-piece bathroom, main-floor laundry and plenty of storage complete this level, along with an attached double-car garage. Downstairs, you'll find a large family room with a gas stove, an additional kitchen, another bedroom and a 3-piece bathroom, creating an ideal setup for an in-law suite, extended family or guests. A generous storage room offers even more flexibility and could potentially be divided to create another bedroom or additional finished living space. Oodles of space, this home could easily have 4 or 5 bedrooms, to match any family size. Outside, enjoy a nicely maintained yard surrounded by mature hedges that provide plenty of privacy. Recent updates include both main-floor bathrooms renovated within the last five years, a new furnace in 2025, new shingles in 2026, and eavestroughs upgraded with LeafFilter gutter protection. Neat as a pin and loaded with upgrades, this one is a keeper!
