“Some of the highlights of our home include a beautiful glass wine cellar in the dining room, a large skylight above the stairwell and an outdoor kitchen that includes a barbecue, a fridge, a sink and a disposal,” Michaliszy­n says. “Our favourite part of the home is the built-in 10-foot kitchen centre island/breakfast bar that seats up to eight people.” A short walk to several schools, the home is also close to Lake Ontario, restaurant­s, business, shops and a grocery store. Downtown Port Credit is a five-minute drive, as well as a GO station, an arena, library, a golf club, hospital and U of T’s Mississaug­a campus.

“This custom-built home has quality craftsmans­hip and unique and rich finishes throughout,” says listing agent Natalia Michaliszy­n, who is also the homeowners’ daughter. “The kitchen features high-end appliances and a spacious cooking area. The backyard is perfect for hosting family gatherings with its outdoor kitchen, ample-sized patio with a gazebo and manicured lawn and gardens.”

With an exterior of stone and stucco, the home features a large bow window with a copper awning, a covered entry, an interlocki­ng brick walkway and a two-car built-in garage.
