“The house is located on one of the highest points in Caledon and the views are spectacular,” said homeowner Mary Davies, of the residence that was originally a bungalow built in 1987. “About 14 years ago, we undertook a major renovation, going from approximately 3,600 square feet of living space to around 5,500 square feet. We added three bedrooms and three bathrooms, and a new laundry room above the threecar garage. Just over eight years ago, we added the pool and an outdoor entertainment area.”
The home is close to shopping, business and entertainment amenities in Orangeville, Alton Village, Caledon Lake Forest conservation area and Forks of the Credit Provincial Park.
“Every aspect for family living in a rural setting was considered when this home was renovated. For instance, there is a massive fenced area with a playground beside the pool area,” listing agent Sarah Aston said. “The saltwater pool and hot tub area is impressive. The outdoor kitchen has motorized, heavy-duty roll-up windows, granite counters, a state-of-the art barbecue and stainless steel appliances.”
