An upscale four-bed, three-bath single-family home in nearby Ilderton.
The Details
We’re headed north of the city for this week’s home, up to a new subdivision in the rapidly growing Ilderton area. In terms of square footage and layout, this newly built detached home on Basil Crescent may, at first glance, seem standard for its style range ― but it’s the interior finishes and contemporary design touches that really elevate this one into an upscale conversation.
As you enter the foyer of the home, the high-contrast exterior (with its black and white design) shifts gears into something warmer, with light-pine hued hardwood flooring, white walls and a a light wood colour scheme running through much of the home. The living room centres around a fireplace with a white mantle, giving the room an attractive focal point, while large windows overlooking the backyard make for a bright and airy living space.
Steps away is the custom GCW kitchen, which will really be the selling point for many potential buyers. The kitchen has been finished with more light wood on the lower cabinetry, which pops against the white of the countertops and the walls. A large kitchen island offers loads of space for food prep and hosting, with plenty of bar seating opposite the sink.
Around the rest of the kitchen, there’s plenty of storage space and open shelving cleverly built into the cabinets. There’s also a full pantry closet, so all your ingredients will be quickly at hand ― another selling point for the home chefs out there. (Worth noting, though, that as a new build, there are no appliances included.) Just off the kitchen is a dining room with more natural light, and a door leading out to the patio.
Rounding out the lower level is a half-bath and laundry room, both built with stylish touches that make them as appealing as they are functional.
The second floor features nine-foot ceilings, lending it a spacious and open feel. There’s four bedrooms upstairs, giving you more than enough options for how to use them, depending on the size of the family. The primary suite comes with a very impressive, upscale ensuite bathroom with both a tiled walk-in shower and a large soaking tub, with two vanities and tile flooring. The second upstairs bathroom features a double vanity of its own, similar tile flooring and a shower-tub combo.
As a new build in a new subdivision in Ilderton, one of the main attractions here will be the ability to add your own personal touches, both small and large. There’s an unfinished basement in this house, meaning lots of potential additions for the motivated handyman; ditto for the backyard, which offers a blank canvas onto which you can build your dream backyard oasis. A patio, pool, a large deck for hosting, an expansive garden ― the options are endless.
