This custom Mazzeo-built home on a quiet Arbour Ridge street is all about space and quality. The two-storey layout has 4,000+ sq ft of finished living across three levels, with 5 beds, 4 baths, and a massive 59.4 x 150.9 foot lot backing onto a conservation/green belt. The main floor wows with a wide-open plan: cathedral ceilings in the living room, a formal dining room, and a gourmet kitchen with a huge island, granite counters, and a bay-windowed breakfast nook. A gas fireplace and garden doors in the family room lead to a large deck with pergola and a stone patio below. Upstairs, the primary suite is a retreat-the 2025 renovated ensuite has a double vanity, freestanding soaker tub, and a tile/glass shower. Three more good-sized bedrooms and a full bath round out this level. The basement's a bonus: a big rec room with a natural gas stove and exposed stone wall, plus a bedroom and 4-piece bath. Recent updates include a 2026 furnace and tankless water heater, and 2023 roof. You're steps from the Little Cataraqui Creek Conservation Area, and just minutes to Costco, Cataraqui Centre, and the 401. With a median sold price of $927K nearby, this $819,900 listing is sharp-especially since homes here average 17 days on market. Partially fenced yard, attached 2-car garage, and central air keep it comfortable year-round.
