Fairfield Estates in King Township’s horse country was developed in the early 2000s and the owners built 151 Fairfield in 2016. Their custom estate is a favourite in the neighbourhood, says listing agent Khalen Meredith. “The neighbourhood is architecturally controlled however this one stands out for its timeless architecture.”

The home is impressive from the curb and the back, which shows off three levels of glass. “The view from floor-to-ceiling windows is the most unexpected feature as you enter the home, especially for an estate lot subdivision, as it backs on to an 11-acre property. It is very pastoral and private.”

The owners say, “The beauty really is in the detail.”

“There were no shortcuts in the entire build. It has exceptional terraces at the back,” Meredith says.

Agents who have viewed the property so far have commented about the home’s quality and timeless architecture.

“There aren’t many new builds around like this,” she says. “It was the feature home for the Country Toy Tea, which raises funds for local charities at Christmas.”

Potential buyers like that the primary suite is on the main floor. It has a five-piece ensuite bathroom, a walkin closet and a walkout to a terrace. “The walk-in closet is unlike any other we have seen,” says Meredith, who has co-listed the property with Kim Nichols.

“Even though the home is considerable in square footage, it feels warm and inviting,” Meredith says, adding her favourite room is the glass sitting room, which “provides extraordinary views to rolling greens and west end-of-day light.”

The residence has a gym with all the bells and whistles, including two separate home offices.

There are also many trails for walking, which many people have appreciated during the pandemic.

“We can see both a younger family in the home or an empty-nester who has lots of family visiting. The schools in the area are a big draw. We are also close to Pearson. The GO station is five minutes away,” Meredith says.

“There is a scarcity of land on which to build. In this area, the lots are all sold. As well, given today’s building costs, to replace it would be prohibitive.”
