The exceptional view of Eversley Lake from the back of the house, which faces south, is one of the most prominent features of this King Township property, says listing agent Khalen Meredith of Engel & Volkers, who has co- listed the property with Kim Nichols. “It’s the first thing one sees when entering the front hall.”
The dramatic two- storey entrance hall sets the tone for the grand home. “It’s very well constructed and includes a classic floor plan with approximately 12,000 square feet of living space,” Meredith says.
A living room and dining room flank the entry hall, offering space for family enjoyment or for entertaining guests. The living room has a fireplace, hardwood floors and crown mouldings.
The family chef will enjoy the bright spacious kitchen, which has a large island and a mix of dark and white furniture- style cabinetry. A breakfast area provides a spot for casual dining.
A pantry, a laundry room and a mud room are adjacent to the kitchen. A walkout from the kitchen leads to a beautiful south- facing terrace, ideal for quiet relaxing or entertaining.
The main floor also has an office and a master wing that has two walk-in closets, a spalike five- piece ensuite bathroom and a terrace made for enjoying sunsets.
A dramatic staircase leads to the second floor, which “would be perfect for a growing or extended family, given that it has a spacious second family room with a kitchenette,” Meredith says. Three bedrooms, including one with Juliet balconies overlooking the entry hall, are also located on this level.
For those cold winter days when no one feels like venturing outside, the lower level offers a spa with a pool, a sauna and a gym so there are no excuses for skipping the fitness routine. A lower-level walkout leads to the garden. Favourite movies can be enjoyed in the home theatre and fun and games in the recreation room.
The stone home has geothermal heating.
The 363x239-ft. extensively landscaped property in prestigious Fairfield Estates is close to schools. “This location is very convenient given the proximity to Aurora for amenities and alternative transportation to the city," Meredith says.
