When people come through this home, they’re impressed that it has “everything.” They also comment about how spacious it is, and about the custom work and materials that have been used throughout, says listing agent Daniel Bloch of Harvey Kalles Real Estate.
The stone-and-stucco home, built in 2013, has “everything on one’s wish list,” says co-listing agent Liora Tal. “It’s designed for a lifetime of enjoyment and entertaining.”
It has about 4,600 square feet of living space including formal living and dining rooms with moulded ceilings and hardwood floors. The dining room also has an impressive side table/wet bar topped with striped marble. “The dining room is built for large gatherings,” Bloch says.
Marble also tops the centre island in the kitchen, which has quartz counter tops, highend appliances and a custom canopy-style range hood. “The kitchen is timeless,” Tal says.
“I love that there is a fireplace on every level with areas where you can sit and enjoy the warmth,” Bloch says. “I also love the high waffled ceilings.”
A coffered ceiling and glass doors are features of the main-floor office. The master suite has a walk-in closet, a fireplace and a coffered ceiling. A gas fireplace warms the lower-level recreation room/ kitchen. The media/entertainment room has built-in speakers.
The house will appeal to a large family that’s looking for a forever home. “It’s an entertainer’s dream, with openconcept living, a movie theatre and a kitchenette in the basement and the backyard. The backyard also includes a pool, a hot tub and a covered outdoor fireside living room that family and friends will enjoy.”
The 51x176-foot, irregular lot is “perfectly laid out,” Bloch says. Along with the pool, it has a cabana, a hot tub, a bathroom and a sprinkler system.
Busy health care professionals will appreciate the home’s location close to a major hospital. “Mill Pond/Heritage Estates is located between Yonge and Bathurst. The area dates back as far as 1935, with an assortment of homes,” he says. “This home is in a newer subdivision for that area, which offers a variety of walking/nature trails and parks throughout. People want to live here for the proximity to great amenities, restaurants and schools.”
