When you find a home you love, you don’t want to have to move because little ones come along, seniors move in or because you get older. “This is a home for all ages and stages,” says listing agent Khalen Meredith of Engel & Volkers Toronto Uptown.
The bungaloft has a mainfloor master wing with a dressing room and an ensuite bathroom that has a fireplace and opens on to a hot tub area overlooking a private forest.
“Another main-floor wing has a sitting room, bedroom, ensuite bathroom and walkout to private garden. The wing has, in the past, been the living space for an older family member,” she says. “The second floor has two spacious bedrooms and two bathrooms with a common area great for homework or for games and movies. The lower level would also make a great living space for an older family member because it has a separate entrance and considerable square footage.”
The kitchen includes a breakfast area and walkouts to a deck and terrace for easy entertaining. Meredith says the owners use the large Rumford fireplace in the kitchen almost every day in the colder seasons.
The living and dining area has a bank of french doors to a screened terrace. An office and den provide quiet places to work and relax.
The home also has a private sunroom, a laundry, a pantry and a mudroom.
“The home is exceptionally well constructed,” Meredith says. “Both the owners and builder were very focused on quality.
The house actually ‘sounds’ incredibly solid. You can’t hear people moving in other parts of the home.” With a quiet backdrop, the sound system sounds even better, she adds.
Another bonus is that the house falls under the green banner in many ways.
“It’s geo-thermal, has an excellent R-factor and requires very little outdoor maintenance as the lawn areas are minimized by a natural forest,” she says. “The forest also creates privacy and different views as the seasons change. “
The almost five-acre lot is on a cul-de-sac close to the King City GO Train station. A mountain bike trail is also nearby.
