Original Remarks

Beyond a long tree lined driveway, discover your hidden 2-acre retreat-where sunlight dances through trees, birdsong fills the air, and everyday life feels peacefully removed. Framed by mature woods, this sophisticated custom-built home offers a rare harmony of nature, comfort, and thoughtful design. A bright two-story foyer welcomes you with skylights overhead, filling the space with natural light. The custom kitchen (2010) is both stylish & functional, featuring granite countertops, abundant cabinetry, built-in appliances, induction cooktop, & a practical butler's pantry-perfect for everyday living & entertaining. A heated sunroom provides a cozy, year-round vantage point to enjoy the surrounding landscape, while the screened solarium invites peaceful summer evenings overlooking the ornamental pond with water lilies - an idyllic spot for birdwatching, spotting deer, or winter skating. Elegant principal rooms include a formal living room with an efficient Petite Godin cast iron wood stove and a formal dining room made for hosting. The spacious family room, anchored by a reclaimed brick accent wall and wood stove insert, creates a warm and inviting gathering space. Upstairs offers three bedrooms plus a flexible office/den (or potential 4th bedroom/nursery), along with a rustic loft featuring pine floors, wet bar, & wood stove - perfect as a studio, gym, or private guest retreat. The primary suite features a spa-inspired ensuite with soaker tub, glass shower, double sinks, bidet, heated floors/towel rack. Additional highlights include approx. 1,500 sq. ft. of high-ceiling lower level ready for finishing, 2 garden sheds, and ~0.5 acre enrolled in CLTIP for reduced property taxes. Geothermal heating/cooling, shingles and skylights (2019), premium European windows (~2014) ensure comfort & efficiency. In early spring, tap your own maple trees and turn the season's sap into golden syrup. Located on a paved road across from Barbour Field & less than an hour to the GTA.
