This breathtaking country retreat is just a three minute drive to the QEW, offering the perfect balance of rural tranquility & a convenient location. Nestled on a stunning property with beautiful vineyard views & no rear neighbours, this one-of-a-kind home delivers privacy, space, and year round beauty. (Vineyard rows are clearly visible from the composite deck and the large front porch, and mature trees and well-placed exterior landscape lighting highlight the stone/brick façade and manicured front lawn at dusk.) Inside you'll find 4 spacious bedrooms & 4 bathrooms, including a primary suite complete with a walk-in closet & a beautiful ensuite. One of the bedrooms is situated above the attached garage, & includes its own separate entrance, & a dedicated split heating & air conditioning unit-ideal for guests or a private office. The main living room is bright & welcoming, with large east & west facing windows that flood the space with natural light throughout the day, along with a gas fireplace. (The open-concept kitchen & dining area features white cabinetry, a large centre island with seating, stainless steel appliances, subway-tile style backsplash and stylish pendant/statement lighting over the dining table.) Built in speakers throughout the house & outside. Downstairs, the thoughtfully finished basement, complete with heated floors, offers a rec room with a cozy woodstove & a family room, providing a versatile space. There is also a laundry room, 3 pc bath, & a large cold cellar. (A main-floor powder/2pc bath offers a pedestal sink and modern grey tile/finishes.) Car enthusiasts & hobbyists will appreciate the 2 separate double-car garages, both equipped with heated floors. The detached garage also features a convenient 2 pc washroom, a spacious insulated loft above for potential additional living space if finished, & thoughtful additions like a dog/chicken run and an attached little house with its own heater for chilly winter nights. (The long private driveway provides ample parking and easy access to both the attached and detached garages; the detached garage includes large loft windows and finished-insulated walls for flexible storage or conversion.) Outdoors, the home continues to impress with a large front porch where you can watch the sunrise, a composite deck & hot tub ('23) with stunning vineyard views, an outdoor fireplace & a wood-fired pizza oven-perfect for entertaining. (A covered pergola dining area adjacent to the deck, plus built-in counters, creates a true outdoor kitchen/entertaining zone; a peaceful fish pond sits adjacent to the patio, adding to the sense of serenity and charm.) Whether you're enjoying a quiet morning coffee on the front porch, or sitting by the fire with your family & friends, this home offers a chance to enjoy country living at its finest. (Aerial views show the thoughtful property layout — home centered on the lot with surrounding lawn, garden areas and direct sight-lines to the vineyards.) (id:1945)
