“The luxury detail and charm of this home was the deciding factor when we purchased it four years ago. We love the flow of the home, the soaring ceilings and huge windows that allow natural light in every room,” homeowner Rehaana Moledina said.

“The expansive, open-concept kitchen has views of the grand family room and large backyard. We have spent countless days and nights out on the back loggia, relaxing and hosting close friends and family.

“Upstairs, the master bedroom retreat almost has its very own wing of the house with a dressing room and a spa-like ensuite,” Moledina added. “One of my husband’s favourite features is the heated garage where he comfortabl­y tended to his car year-round.”

The home is close to restaurant­s, shopping, businesses, transit, a community centre, an arena, parks and schools. It’s a short drive to Seneca CollegeKin­g Campus, golf courses and Canada’s Wonderland.

“The high-end finishes are immediatel­y noticeable, such as seamless floor vents, solid interior doors and a gourmet kitchen with multiple built-ins, and Sub-Zero and Wolf stainless steel appliances,” listing agent Andrew Ipekian said. Additional design treatments include five-inch hand-scraped hardwood, marble floors and tall, high-design ceilings.

“With only a few minutes walk to a GO station, the location is ideal for those who want to commute to downtown Toronto without worrying about parking or traffic,” Ipekian added. The stately residence features a stone-and-brick façade, a tiered-peak roofline, plenty of windows, an attached three-car garage, a double drive and small covered porch.

The solid wood front door opens to the foyer with marble floor, wainscotti­ng, walk-in cloakroom and a two-piece bathroom.

The living room has a coffered ceiling, hardwood floor, double French doors, pot lights and a gas fireplace. It is open to the spacious dining room that also has a coffered ceiling, hardwood floor, plus a crystal chandelier and a picture window.

Double French doors open to the office, with a coffered ceiling, hardwood floor and large picture window.
