Reasons You’ll Love This Home
Complete Custom Rebuild in 2024 – Far more than a cosmetic renovation, the home underwent an extensive custom rebuild with a new extension, incorporating significant architectural, structural and mechanical improvements. New windows, roofing, eavestroughs, flooring, kitchen, bathrooms, electrical, plumbing and insulation contribute to a home that feels thoroughly contemporary while retaining its established residential setting.
Beautiful Open-Concept Living and Dining – The main floor is designed around generous, interconnected living spaces with 9-foot ceilings, wide-plank engineered hardwood heated floors and abundant natural light. The living room features a striking three-sided fireplace framed by a floor-to-ceiling marble-look feature wall with a coordinating floating hearth, while the adjoining dining area connects naturally with the kitchen, creating an inviting setting for both family meals and larger gatherings.
Standout Chef’s Kitchen – The impressive chef’s kitchen centres around an oversized quartz-topped island with generous preparation space and breakfast seating. Custom white cabinetry, a contrasting island, quartz countertops and backsplash, elegant hardware and contemporary pendant lighting create a beautifully coordinated space. Premium Thermador appliances, including a gas range, wall oven and integrated refrigeration, complete the kitchen.
Distinctive Second Indoor Kitchen – One of the home’s most interesting features is a separate indoor cooking kitchen with exposed brick walls, a wood-panelled ceiling and a large wood-burning cooking fireplace. Built-in cabinetry, a sink and additional counter space make this a practical extension of the main kitchen, particularly for those who enjoy cooking and entertaining. The combination of warm natural materials and a traditional cooking fireplace gives the space a personality entirely its own. There is also a convenient walkout to the backyard.
Extraordinary Primary Bedroom – The primary suite is among the home’s most impressive features. Cathedral ceilings reaching approximately 14 feet are accented by exposed timber beams and integrated lighting, while generous windows introduce natural light from multiple directions. The combination of thoughtful details, warm hardwood flooring and generous proportions creates a beautiful private retreat.
Exceptional Walk-In Dressing Room – Adjoining the primary bedroom is an expansive custom dressing room with floor-to-ceiling cabinetry, multiple hanging sections, open shelving, drawers and a substantial central storage island. A vaulted ceiling with exposed timber detailing and statement lighting elevates this space well beyond a conventional walk-in closet.
Luxurious Five-Piece Primary Ensuite – The beautifully appointed ensuite features a freestanding soaker tub, an oversized glass-enclosed shower with rainfall and handheld fixtures, and a floating double vanity with illuminated mirrors and a water closet. Large-format marble-look wall and floor finishes create a sophisticated, cohesive appearance, while exposed timber beams introduce warmth and architectural interest.
Private Office, Lounge & Hot Tub Terrace – Directly adjoining the primary suite, a versatile office, den or private sitting room features matching cathedral ceilings, exposed wood beams and heated wide-plank hardwood flooring. Sliding glass doors open to a private upper-level terrace with hot tub, offering a wonderful extension of the living space and a peaceful setting to unwind.
Three Additional Bedrooms and Family Bathroom – The second level also offers three well-proportioned bedrooms with generous windows, hardwood flooring and custom-designed closet storage. The striking 4-piece family bathroom features contemporary marble-look tile, a floating wood vanity, illuminated mirror and glass-enclosed bathtub and shower. A dedicated second-floor laundry room adds everyday convenience.
Spacious Lower Level Recreation Room – The finished lower level benefits from the same 9-foot ceilings found throughout the home, along with polished concrete floors over radiant in-floor heating. The generously sized recreation room offers excellent flexibility for movie nights, games, entertaining or a comfortable secondary family living area.
Flexible Living Spaces, Fifth Bedroom and Brew Room – Beyond the recreation room, the lower level includes two separate flex rooms, a fifth bedroom with a walk-in closet and three piece ensuite and a dedicated brew room. These spaces offer a variety of possibilities for hobbies, recreation, working from home or accommodating guests. An additional powder room and extensive storage areas further enhance the functionality of this level.
Oversized Three-Car Garage & Custom Mudroom – The rare three-car garage offers exceptional space, impressive ceiling height with the potential to accommodate a car lift, and extensive organized storage. With ample room for vehicles, recreational equipment and seasonal belongings, it provides outstanding versatility. Interior access leads to a beautifully appointed mudroom featuring floor-to-ceiling custom cabinetry, a built-in bench, coat hooks and dedicated storage for shoes and outerwear.
Extensive Mechanical and Energy-Efficiency Improvements – Additional features and updates include a new furnace, updated electrical and plumbing systems, supplementary ductless air conditioners, owned hot water on demand system, new drains, a backflow preventer and an improved ¾-inch water supply line. Insulation was upgraded throughout using a hybrid spray foam and batt system, with reported values of R26 on the main and second floors and R24 in the basement.
Outstanding Curb Appeal and Outdoor Landscaping – The home’s attractive brick and stone exterior is complemented by an inviting covered front porch with exposed timber detailing. Natural stone landscaping and interlock walkways enhance the front and side yards, while the fully fenced backyard offers a spacious lawn and garden with plenty of room for outdoor entertaining, dining and relaxation.
