An opportunity to have it ALL on an exquisite 10+ acre waterfront estate. Just 15 minutes north of Kingston out scenic Perth Rd, on the municipal and well-serviced Shales Road, is where you will find this gem. Key features of this large, comfortable and beautifully maintained 4000 sqft+, 5 bedroom, 4 bath home include wonderful space for entertaining family and friends, approximately 1500' of shoreline on deep, clear and lightly populated Draper lake, peaceful unspoiled surroundings on a quiet cul-de-sac, and a classic Canadian Shield landscape including dramatic rock formations, meadows and a pristine mature forest with towering white pines. An elegant foyer entrance leads to the bright, open kitchen & family room layout with panoramic views over field and forest, the living room with gleaming hardwood, a formal dining room, and the primary bedroom suite with ensuite bath and dressing room. The sunroom with walk-out to a shaded deck offers great space for outdoor entertaining. The second floor finds 4 more bedrooms, a full bathroom and storage space. This home has been extensively updated, including three Lennox heat pumps/a Lennox propane furnace with advanced integrated climate control system/a whole home Kohler 20 KW automatic standby generator/back-to-back propane fireplaces warming the living room and family room/and renovated bathrooms, to name just some of the thoughtful improvements.
