Dramatic tall ceilings and a grand centre hallway welcome you upon entry. An elegant living and dining room occupy the front of the house, both showcasing exquisite wainscoting and crown mouldings. The dining room is expansive and displays a beautiful bay window which showers the room with sunshine. French doors open to the living room, offering a private den space with gorgeous built-ins and a gas fireplace- perfect for a home office.
A spacious servery provides plenty of cabinet storage, a pantry closet and wine fridge and connects the dining room to a stunning, fully equipped eat-in chef’s kitchen with heated floors. An impressive island with seating is at the centre of the room. A built-in desk space on one side and a quaint breakfast corner on the other with a walk-out to a picturesque deck to enjoy morning coffee. A retractable awning makes this space a wonderful place to relax- rain or shine.
The kitchen opens to a magnificent family room with an inviting wood-burning fireplace, wall-to-wall French doors to the back garden, and access to the spacious two-car garage. The home’s main floor also features a convenient side door entrance and a perfectly tucked away powder room.
The enchanting Italian-inspired garden creates the perfect balance between indoor and outdoor living. Every inch is perfectly manicured with multiple serene sitting areas. A soothing stone fountain is on display and adds character and charm to this magazine-worthy backyard.
