This 5-bed, 8-bath side split in Rural Pickering feels like a country retreat, but you're just 4.5 km from the Toronto Zoo and 3.1 km from Rouge Park. The main floor is all about light: a bay window in the living room, a skylight in the dining area, and a kitchen with stainless steel appliances and a breakfast bar that walks out to a massive deck. Upstairs, the primary bedroom has its own fireplace, a 3-piece ensuite, and a private deck - perfect for morning coffee. There's also a loft that could be a studio or playroom. Downstairs, the finished basement adds a rec room, a media room, an office, and a full kitchen - ideal for guests or a rental. With a septic system and municipal water, you get country living without the well. Outside, the fully fenced backyard is lined with trees, has a gazebo, and enough space for a garden. Parking is a breeze: an attached garage plus a double driveway fits up to 15 cars. The lot is 100 x 154 feet, so there's room to breathe. Taxes run about $23,437 annually. Only one other listing nearby, priced at $2,999,088, so this one's competitively positioned. Market score is 80, and it's carpet-free throughout with porcelain tile and hardwood floors. Close to St Mary Catholic Secondary School (2.8 km) and Whittamore's Berry Farm (2.4 km) for weekend picking. It's a lot of house for the money.
