560 Wilmot Line, Waterloo

Private Oasis in Waterloo. This one-of-a-kind, fully renovated home offers a cottage-like retreat just minutes from city amenities (the exterior blends stone cladding and warm wood accents with a modern covered entry and frosted-glass front door). Set on 3.7 acres surrounded by trees, a pond, and nature (mature landscaping, terraced stone steps, and a sandy-beached pond with floating dock are visible from the house and lower patio), it combines luxury finishes with smart home technology to create a truly signature property. Inside, the open-concept living room features soaring vaulted ceilings, a propane fireplace, and expansive windows that flood the space with natural light (large picture windows frame treed vistas and provide sightlines to the outdoor living areas). The chef’s kitchen boasts quartz counters, a spacious island, high-end appliances, pot filler, custom backsplash, and an adjoining pantry with built-in microwave, additional oven, fridge, wine rack, and storage — plus a separate tiled beverage/bar nook with glass shelving and under-cabinet lighting. The island is finished in a dark tone that contrasts with the bright cabinetry, is set on wide-plank hardwood floors, and sits beneath contemporary pendant lighting with a nearby walkout featuring a sleek black-framed door. Perfect for entertaining, the main floor also includes a stylish dining area, built-in bar, walkout to a deck with power awning, and a 4-pc bath (a stepped stone pathway leads down to a gravel firepit seating area with Adirondack chairs and warm landscape lighting). Upstairs, the primary suite is a private sanctuary with breathtaking views, a large walk-in closet, and a spa-like 5-pc ensuite featuring a soaker tub, glass shower, and double sinks. Two additional bedrooms, a 3-pc bath, and convenient upper-level laundry complete this floor. The finished lower level includes heated tile floors, a rec room with cozy wood fireplace and walkout, rough-in for a wet bar, an additional bedroom (with wall of custom built-in closets and recessed lighting), office with separate entrance, and a 3-pc bath. The mechanical features include updated electrical & plumbing, Lennox heat pump with backup propane furnace, R/O system and new carbon filter for drilled well, new septic system, solar panels on flat roof generate electricity. Smart home features throughout. Outside, enjoy a private front yard, secondary driveway which allows extra parking, a large patio overlooking the pond with sandy beach and floating dock, plus two charming bunkies—one with a wood stove (the property includes multi-level stone terraces, a circular gravel seating/firepit area, and integrated exterior lighting). All of this within minutes to shopping, schools, markets, and trails. A+++ (id:1945)
