You'd be hard-pressed to find any potential home buyer (or window shopper, like me) who'd prefer fewer windows to more, but this Ontario home takes natural light to the next level.Located in the prestigious Mississauga enclave of Mineola, 267 Kenollie Avenue is a striking, custom-built gem on an 80 x 193 ft. lot, boasting around 7500 sq. ft. of living space and, as you may have gathered by now, a deluge of natural light from large windows around every corner.It's also located close to public and private schools, waterfront trails, Port Credit's vibrant shops and restaurants, and it is a short commute to downtown Toronto on the QEW or GO Transit.
