4890 Lake Ridge Road N, Pickering

Your Stylish Country Escape Just Minutes from the City! Welcome to a one-of-a-kind architectural statement home where rustic charm meets refined living. Located just minutes from Hwy 407, Brooklin, and Uxbridge, and surrounded by ski hills and scenic trails, this property offers the perfect blend of convenience and countryside tranquillity. Set on nearly 2 acres and tucked away from the road, the home boasts sweeping pastoral views from every window, with glimpses of Lake Ontario in the distance making it a true showstopper. From above the dramatic steep‑pitched roof, black cladding and dormers are visible, along with mature trees, a private driveway and cleared outdoor spaces suitable for a fire pit, gardens or a chicken coop. Inside, you'll find a thoughtfully renovated main floor featuring a designer kitchen, luxurious primary suite, and an elegant bath. The designer kitchen includes a large central island with seating for five, dark charcoal cabinetry, an exposed brick feature wall behind a statement range, stainless steel appliances, pendant and recessed lighting, and wide‑plank flooring that flows through the main living areas. At the heart of the home is a stunning great room anchored by the original stone wood‑burning fireplace, now tastefully updated. The elegant bath has been refreshed as well, with a bright white vanity, round mirror and a tiled tub/shower surround. Upstairs, the second and third floors embrace a more rustic aesthetic rich with warmth, character, and architectural flair. There is a cozy upper‑level office/den with sloped ceilings, recessed lighting, hardwood floors and a dormer window — ideal for work or study — and a third‑floor loft finished in warm tongue‑and‑groove wood with skylights, perfect as a reading nook, extra sleeping space or quiet retreat. Every corner of this home tells a story. Ideal for those seeking something beyond the cookie‑cutter, this property invites a lifestyle of creativity and comfort. There's space for chickens, gardens, a fire pit, and more — your own private retreat just outside the city. Aerial views emphasize the privacy and thoughtfully landscaped grounds, offering room for outbuildings or hobby spaces. As featured in Toronto Life Magazine, this home is truly a conversation piece and a must‑see for discerning buyers. (id:1945)
