“The house is so well thought-out — spacious and yet cosy. The exterior is so attractive that, on four different occasions, film location scouts came knocking on our door,” owner Jaqueline Staikos says.

“We love being active outdoors and there is so much for us to do here. Our grandchild­ren love it here, especially the nearby parkland and the beach area in the cove, as there’s no noisy traffic. The house is on a quiet tree-lined street and the neighbours are friendly, as there is a strong community vibe here,” Staikos adds.

The home has easy access to Lakeshore Rd. and the QEW. It is also walking distance to shops and restaurant­s, Port Credit Village and a yacht club. A GO train station is a short drive away for a 20-minute ride downtown to Union Station.

“This house is exceptiona­l. There was much attention given to details and quality of materials,” listing agent Khoren Mardoyan says.

“The basement floor is heated. And there are 10-foot ceilings on the top and main floors, and nine-foot ceilings in the basement. As well, the basement laundry room and the basement kitchen are finished in marble,” Mardoyan adds. “The backyard is fully fenced with cedar and has a hot tub,” Mardoyan says.

This contempora­ry abode has an exterior with aluminum panel and stucco, an interlocki­ng brick driveway and a designer oak front door with unique, tempered glass lights.

The living room is open and adjacent to the foyer and contains hardwood floors, a gas fireplace with marble surround and a built-in marble shelf above that extends to the ceiling, pot lights, a picture window and another window.

Open-concept, the dining room has a hardwood floor, a window and a modern chandelier-style light.

Highpoints of the custom-designed kitchen are quartz counters, quartz backsplash, a quartz floor inlay, plenty of walnut cabinetry, pendant lights, a large basin double sink, pot lights and high-end stainless steel appliances — including two ovens.

The kitchen overlooks a breakfast area with a large picture window, a second window, pot lights and a hardwood floor. The kitchen also overlooks the family room, which has a gas fireplace with a floor-toceiling marble surround, pot lights, hardwood floors, a double garden door walkout and a window. There is a main-floor powder room.

Floating wood stairs, with wroughtiro­n pickets and a skylight above, lead to the second level.

The master bedroom has a partial box-ceiling feature, hardwood floors, pot lights, double sliding mirrored door closets, a double garden door walkout to a Juliet balcony and a walk-in closet.

Fully finished, the basement comes complete with a walk-up to the backyard. It also features a recreation room with pot lights, high ceilings, built-in surround sound and heated hardwood floors.
