The ravine out back is the real showstopper here. Mature trees and walking trails right off your yard, giving you total privacy and a constant green view. That's not something you find on every street in Aurora. The house itself is a 4-bed, 4-bath detached on a 34.8 x 100.2 ft lot, and it's in solid shape. Hardwood floors run through the main level, and the kitchen has granite counters and stainless steel appliances. There's a gas fireplace in the great room, plus California shutters on the windows. The primary suite upstairs has two walk-in closets, which is a nice touch. Three more bedrooms share the remaining baths, including a 2-piece on the main. There's a den on the main floor too, handy if you work from home. The basement is unfinished, so you've got a blank canvas down there. Outside, it's brick, and you get a 4-car driveway plus a garage. Location-wise, you're minutes from Highway 404 and the Aurora GO station, and the school bus stop for Rick Hansen PS is just across the street. Restaurants like Cachet and Cynthia's are about 3 km away. Comparable homes nearby are listing around $1.5M, and this one's priced at $1.3M, so there's some room to grow. Taxes run about $7,769 a year. If you want a quiet spot with nature right out your back door and easy commuting, this is worth a look.
