BACKYARD AN OASIS
Designed for entertaining inside and out, 47 Cotswold offers an approximately 4,100- square- foot home on a 60x125- ft. lot in the demand St. Andrews neighbourhood.
The c ustom Georgian brick home has precast stone accents and a landscaped front yard with mature trees and a wide interlock driveway to accommodate guests’ cars. It also has a two-car detached garage that could be used as a dance studio, says real estate agent Chaim Talpalar of Harvey Kalles Real Estate, who has listed the home with Belinda Marshall.
A two- storey foyer with a skylight has columns and a focal point staircase with a wrought iron railing. A large formal living room provides enough space for a piano, so the musician in the family can entertain guests.
Across the hall is a formal dining room that easily accommodates 10 for a relaxed, leisurely meal.
A delight for anyone who likes to cook, the kitchen has a large centre island, built-in stainless steel appliances and light neutral cabinetry. The sunny breakfast area overlooks the backyard. Walkouts from the kitchen and family room lead to the deck, which has wrought iron railings and a view of the fully landscaped backyard. “It’s an entertainer’s ultimate home with a backyard oasis,” Talpalar says.
The backyard includes a pool, a waterfall, a cabana, an outdoor kitchen and plenty of places to sit or recline in comfort.
The master ensuite bath- room has twin vanities and a soaker tub by the window. A separate glass shower extends from floor to ceiling. One of the other bedrooms has an ensuite bathroom and two bedrooms share a bathroom.
For rainy or winter days or nights, the 2,100- sq.- ft. finished lower level offers comfy gathering space. The recreation/games room has a cosy fireplace, a pool table and a pinball machine to keep party goers occupied.
The lower level also has an exercise room with a mirrored wall, as well as two bedrooms and a bathroom for guests, in-laws or a nanny.
The property is nestled in a quiet neighbourhood that is close to Cotswold Park and two golf courses, but also has easy access to Highway 401.
