Tranquil, Peaceful, Spacious and Beautiful!  Situated on almost an acre of property right in town, (walking distance to Yonge Street) this luxurious, warm home offers so much.  This home is located in a very quiet, mature  neighborhood, close to schools and parks.  This property backs (approximately 370 feet) onto a creek, which is a branch off the Humber River, and conservation which is home to a variety of wildlife. Many beautiful flower gardens and vegetable/fruit gardens are established throughout the property.  Interlocking sidewalks accent the natural rock bordered flower beds.  Large trees throughout and a forest perimeter bring the country right into the city.  This large property has a frontage of 168ft, with lush, established Maple trees lining the street.  The soft sounds of a waterfall into the fish pond greet you as you enter the property.  To accommodate family and visitors there is a large circular paved driveway which can easily park eight cars all with exit access, no double parking, leaving the round-a-bout free.  Also on the property there are two detached garages as well as a garden shed. Along the front of the house is a wrap around covered veranda.  In the back, off the kitchen and family room  you will find a large 600 sq. ft. wrap around deck, with a gas hook up for a BBQ, a gas firepit and lots of space for patio furniture where the quiet, peaceful nature can be thoroughly enjoyed.  

The house which has barn characteristics, keeping the country feel and heritage alive, has Cape Cod board and batton on the exterior.  Inside it has original barn plank floors and original barn beams which have been restored showcasing their natural beauty.  On the main floor is a luxurious kitchen with a large island, granite counter tops, gas stove with five burners, built in oven and microwave convection oven, a triple sink, and decorative glass cupboards which accent the 10' ceilings.  Off the kitchen there is a butler's pantry with a second dishwasher, second fridge, a second microwave, a small deep freezer and a large sink, this pantry also has a lower counter, also granite, perfect for baking.  The pantry is purposely situated between the kitchen and the elegant dining room, for easy clean-up when entertaining.  The dining room is a very peaceful room with coffered ceilings, a gas fireplace and two big windows letting in lots of light.  The dining room is large enough to have a sitting room at the end with a grand piano.  The kitchen is open to the eating area with garden doors and the cozy but spacious family room, which also has a gas fireplace, this fireplace has a stone finish making the family room very inviting.  The family room also has garden doors so the natural light in this room is amazing.  Off of the family room are three offices (or one office, a library and a craft room).  Two of these rooms have built in cupboards and desks.  On the first floor there is also a two piece powder bath.  The seventh bedroom (guest room or second master bedroom) has a four piece en-suite and is on the main floor.  Crown moldings can be found throughout the main floor and many low voltage pot lights throughout the entire house.  A large foyer with two sets of stairs, a cathedral ceiling and five windows is a very welcoming place to greet your guests.  One set of stairs takes you to a large games/TV room with cathedral ceiling, large windows and another stone gas fireplace.  On the second floor (using the other stairs) there are six bedrooms.  The master bedroom has a five piece en-suite, his and hers closets, cathedral ceiling, two sky lights, a gas fireplace and garden doors to a walk out deck.  For convenience, the laundry room is located on the second floor and has built in cupboards and a counter for folding clothes.  There is a five piece jack and jill bathroom on the second floor with two sky lights.  Another nice feature of this beautiful home is the sound system throughout the first and second floor with infrared remotes.
