Overlooking Lake Scugog, this updated home features a large lot with 106 feet of private waterfront and 90-foot dock, an in-ground pool and six-person hot tub, plus two-person bunkie.
“Over the years we have made so much use of our spectacular outdoor space, from swimming in the pool in the summer after a long day’s work, to boating or jet skiing around the lake on weekends. This will be a wonderful home for a family that loves the outdoors,” says homeowner Reza Ghafouri-Azar.
“Inside, the family room with its soaring cathedral ceiling has been an ideal room to entertain in … our family hangs out there a lot because of its warm and welcoming atmosphere. The master bedroom is my other favourite place in the home with two ensuite bathrooms separated by a very large shower, and a sitting area with a stunning view of the living room and the lake.
“The small town of Port Perry has been a safe and neighbourly place to raise a family, and it has all the amenities we have needed. Being a commuter town, it’s easy to get to the GTA via Hwy. 407, which is only 20 minutes away,” adds Ghafouri-Azar.
There is a waterside park within walking distance of the two-storey, detached home. A casino and golf clubs are close. And a hospital is in nearby Port Perry.
“This is a modern-designed home with many upgrades including two fireplaces with floor-to-ceiling surrounds, extra-large windows to maximize the picturesque views of the yard and lake, as well as custom wrought-iron patio doors that open to a private deck. This property on Lake Scugog connects to the Trent Severn Waterway,” says listing agent Jacquelyn Rooney-Misener.
With a grey stone façade and wood porch posts, a detailed wrought-iron porch rail, and large stepping stones, this twostorey sprawling home has a charming, rustic appeal. As well, it has an attached oversized double car garage and a manicured front lawn. The double entry doors have leaded glass inserts and are bordered by leaded glass windows. The foyer features a double closet, track lights and a marble floor.
A French door from the foyer opens to the dining room which contains a hardwood floor, crown moulding, a window and chandelier-style light. The living room showcases a soaring cathedral ceiling and is overlooked from the second floor. Other features include a hardwood floor, a wood-burning cast iron fireplace with a floorto-ceiling wood surround, soaring windows overlooking the lake, and a large glass chandelier.
Highlights of the kitchen are a cork floor, granite counters, an island, track lights, stainless steel appliances, and a pantry. It is combined with the breakfast room which has a hardwood floor and a large window that overlooks the lake.
The family room is outfitted with a soaring, vaulted ceiling with wood beams and is overlooked from the second floor.
It also has a hardwood floor, a wall of large windows, a sliding glass door walkout to the back deck, and a wood burning fireplace with a floor-to-ceiling brick surround, bordered on one side by a built-in book shelve.
A laundry room and powder room complete this floor.
The master bedroom features a hardwood floor, a sitting area overlooking the living room below and the lake, a gas fireplace with a detailed wood surround, double French doors and a double closet. As well, it has two ensuite bathrooms with their own entrances and soaker tubs, joined in the middle by an oversized shared shower.
There are three more bedrooms, all with broadloom, double mirrored closets and vaulted ceilings. A four-piece bathroom serves these bedrooms.
