Rarely do properties of this size and location come on the market in this coveted neighbourhood. This private estate-sized property, with .67 acres backs on to Blenkinsop valley, overlooking a lush and idyllic greenbelt and Blenkinsop Lake. The home could serve as an icon for its timeless design, great bones and solid construction. It was custom designed by award winning Nigel Banks, who is known for his distinctive style, technical proficiency, and efficient & functional layout.
Benefiting from having only one owner, it is in immaculate condition and has been lovingly maintained. The simple and thoughtfully designed floor plan optimizes space for easy entertaining, celebrates the picturesque views and accommodates the ever changing needs of a growing family. The flexible layout allows for one level living if desired, with 4 bedrooms up and a 2 bedroom in-law suite (above grade) with separate entrance on the lower level.
The home is tucked behind lush foliage, almost disguised from the streetscape giving it a relaxed sense of pretense from the cul-de-sac. The front façade is simple, yet impressive and handsome. A lovely barrel vaulted portico with double entrance and transom welcomes you at the front door, and is flanked by two oversized Palladian windows.
The real magic and element of surprise happens just beyond the front entrance: soaring vaulted ceilings, over-sized windows and architectural details punctuate the space. But the real drama is with the pastoral views that provide the perfect backdrop. The open concept living space feels airy and is filled with natural light all day long. The gorgeous oak floors make a uniform statement and the subtle colour palette also enhances the space.
The kitchen was designed for efficient entertaining and family activity. A well positioned island overlooks the gorgeous property views and living area and serves as command central. The open plan makes it very easy to cook and commune with guests, or to keep an eye on children inside and out. It’s a simple kitchen that packs a big punch in terms of ease of use, organization and pure enjoyment of the idyllic surroundings.
There is a strong connection with indoor and outdoor living on both levels of the home. French doors open up to a large deck with prolific Wisteria creating a canopy over the dining area on the main level. The lower level patio is anchored by a canopy of grape vines. The perfect fusion of indoor and outdoor living on all levels.
Flexible Bedroom Configuration The current owners benefitted from one level living when their children were small, utilizing the in-law suite. As their needs changed, the lower level became a recreational space for their children. Storage is abundant throughout the house.
Lower Level In-Law Suite The lower level, which is primarily above grade, boasts a bright 2 bedroom in-law suite with separate entrance, adding tremendous flexibility to accommodate extended family, a guest quarter or a teen/recreation space. A fantastic living space with kitchen (or wet bar) is bright with large picture window views and radiant heated floors to keep things cozy. A terrace anchored with grape vines sits off the separate lower entrance, and adds to the outdoor living spaces on both levels.
Land & Property The custom pressed cement driveway provides a sense of procession & intrigue as it winds around to the back of the house. The two-car garage and the massive driveway can host an endless number of vehicles when guests arrive. The drive also provides a wonderful and protected area for children to ride bikes and play within the confines of the property and within view of the house. The extra-large double garage has additional room for a workspace and ample storage. Plumbing has been roughed in to the garage and the house supports 240 volts. The property is landscaped with perennial and vegetable gardens, wooded areas, open grass areas for recreation, a tree fort, trampoline, and a natural pond in the winter. Enjoy harvesting fruit and preserving your own apples, peaches, blackberries and grapes. The extensive land provides endless possibilities to explore a pool/ spa area, sports courts, golf greens or any other recreation activities one might fancy.
