The Details
Even among the swanky, executive-home neighbourhood it’s nestled in, this 3,915-square-foot, four-bed, four-bath home in Windermere Estate stands out for its custom design and high-end features and finishes. Built by Magnus Homes, this property is located in an enclave off Windermere Road, not far from pathways that connect you with Medway Creek and its many walking and running trails. It’s a great option for someone looking for a higher-end, stylish home in a centrally located part of the city.
The main floor of this house offers a stylish, neutral design, with gorgeous hardwood flooring, bright and open spaces and south-facing windows that allow in plenty of natural light as well as great views of protected forest in behind the property. The home’s open-concept living area, towards the rear of the house, is the star of the show here. The great room features an iconic two-storey fireplace and mantle, flanked on either side by custom built-ins with soaring two-storey vaulted ceilings. The room also features large sliding glass doors leading out to the raised back patio.
The kitchen features an oversized island, a butler’s pantry with an additional bar fridge, a custom range hood and oversized appliances. It also features stone countertops, a double-wide fridge, pasta faucet, a large double sink and plenty of cabinet space for storage. Next to the kitchen there’s an eat-in dining area, with sliding doors leading to the covered portion of the back deck.
The main floor also features a formal dining room, with a striking black-marble fireplace, a textured ceiling and a view of nearby parkland. This floor is rounded out with a bright home office featuring the home’s third ― yup, third! ― fireplace.
The upstairs continues the stylishness of the main level, with more hardwood flooring, similar neutral tones and a focus on comfortable, inviting spaces. The primary suite has custom walls, with what looks like built-in lighting, space for chairs and sitting furniture, and a large window. The ensuite off this bedroom has a walk-in shower with custom tiling as well as a large soaking tub. On this level there is also a small loft-like living room (which looks down, over a bannister, onto the main floor great room) that offers a quiet and cozy place to escape to. There are two additional bathrooms on this floor as well. All four of the bedrooms offer plenty of closet space.
On the lower level of this home you have nine-foot ceilings, a naturally-lit family room and small kitchenette, offering a perfect place for a TV room or home theatre. The lower level also features windows looking out onto the backyard, as well as a four-piece bathroom. It also has a large unfinished section that could be further customize to your liking.
Situated in a quiet enclave comprised of four homes, all of similar size and style, the homes share a private parkette that backs right onto Medway Creek and is accessed via a private road. The home itself also has lots going on under the hood ― a complete smart home system, including surround sound and central vac, smart home security, and more. All told, the home features more than 5,000 square feet of stylish, finished space for your family to enjoy. It’s a rare listing, in a unique and highly prized location, that will be a perfect fit for the right buyer.
