Homeowner Katarzyna Rutyna says she and her family most enjoy their home’s interior features, especially the “masterful carpentry” and the custom fireplace in the family room, as well as the large, west-facing patio, perfect for entertaini­ng or watching beautiful sunsets.

The family also treasures their location.

The home, which has easy access to the Queen Elizabeth Way, is walking distance to parks and schools, and is near Port Credit, Lake Ontario and shops and restaurant­s along Lakeshore Rd. E.

Listing agent Peter Calak describes the home as “a spectacula­r residence that showcases both modern and traditiona­l designs” and that contains top-of-the-line appliances in both kitchens.

The four spa-like bathrooms include marble, quartz, porcelain and European designer fixtures, Calak adds.

The stone-and-stucco exterior of the home includes a varied roofline, a flagstone walkway and steps, built-in lighting on the facade, a built-in double-car garage, and a manicured front lawn with shrubbery and garden beds.

Window panels flank a solid-wood front door that opens to a foyer complete with pot lights, a porcelain floor and double closet.

Highlights of the living room include pot lights, a box ceiling, crown moulding, a large bay window and a wide-plank hardwood floor.

The spacious dining room also contains pot lights, crown moulding and a wide-plank hardwood floor, as well as a picture window.

A large kitchen is fitted with pot lights, two modern pendant lights, a porcelain floor, a breakfast bar, stainless-steel appliances, a built-in wine fridge, quartz counters, lots of counter space and cupboards, and a handpainte­d tile backsplash that extends to the ceiling on one wall.

The kitchen overlooks the breakfast room, which has pot lights, a porcelain floor, a bay window and a contempora­ry light fixture.

Outfitted with a built-in fireplace flush with a floor-to-ceiling exposed brick wall, the family room also consists of pot lights, crown moulding, two picture windows, a wide-plank hardwood floor and a sliding-glass door walkout to the backyard patio.

A powder room with Spanish tile completes the main floor.

On the second level are four bedrooms.

The master bedroom features pot lights, a vaulted ceiling, a picture window, hardwood floor, a spacious walk-in closet with built-in organizers and a six-piece ensuite.

The ensuite includes double sinks, quartz counters, an extra-long standalone soaker tub and a separate glass-enclosed shower stall with a marble wall.

There are three more bedrooms, each with pot lights, hardwood floors, vaulted ceilings, picture windows and walk-in closets. A fourpiece bathroom serves these secondary bedrooms.

The profession­ally finished lower level contains a recreation room with a walkout, pot lights and room enough for a desk.

The basement also has a bedroom with a closet and pot lights, a second kitchen with pot lights and a ceramic-tile floor, a three-piece bathroom and a laundry room with counter and cupboard space and a stainlesss­teel washer and dryer.

The fully fenced backyard contains a large stone patio, green space and mature trees, including a birch tree.
