Afamily bought this property in 2014, drawn by the generous lot size (75x200 feet). They demolished the old bungalow and built their dream custom brick-andstone home. It has many upgrades, including a skylight and five bedrooms, all with heated bathroom floors and walk-in closets, says listing agent Leila rezaei.

The 8,000-square-foot home was designed for big parties and life celebrations such as birthdays and wedding anniversaries, she says.

The main floor has 11-foot ceilings, which lend a glamorous feeling, she says. The light, neutral space has a formal living/dining room with a coffered ceiling, builtin shelves and wainscotting. The dining room easily seats 10.

An arched opening leads to the gourmet kitchen, which has high-end appliances, heated marble floors and a breakfast area with a walkout to a large deck overlooking the pool.

A cottage-like retreat, the fenced private backyard has a saltwater pool with a cabana and a built-in barbecue. The landscaped yard has mature trees. The property also has a three-car garage, an electronic gate and a snowmelt system on the driveway

“This house has a beautiful finished basement with a second chef’s kitchen, a gym, wet bar and of course a nanny’s suite with an ensuite bathroom.”

Another attractive feature is the elevator, which connects the three levels.

The property is close to Lake Wilcox, the Oak ridges Community Centre and a waterfront park that includes a playground, a skate park, beach volleyball courts and a multi-sports court. It’s also close to shopping, restaurants, parks and golf courses.

“The buyer is a nice family who fell in love with this home immediately after the first visit and the smiles on their faces make me happy,” rezaei says.
