The Details
It might be little easy to miss this one from the road, but as you head up the driveway and round the bend on your way up, this gorgeous four-bed, five-bath mid-century inspired home, and its lush, verdant setting within the trees, appears before you. And that is just the beginning.
The home’s stylistic commitment to a mid-century look and feel is evident right away, particularly in the use of mixed materials. You’ve got stone columns on the porch and in the foyer, which make for a striking contrast with the polished hardwood flooring and extensive use of rich wood finishes.
As you enter, one of the first rooms you’ll encounter is one of the showpieces of this home ― its huge sunken living room. With full-length glass walls, this room offers a panoramic view of the deck and forested surrounds, while the vaulted wood ceiling makes for an incredibly spacious and airy environment. A room over you’ll find the home office, which features floor-to-ceiling windows of its own, plus a large built-in cabinet feature; this room shares the space with the family room, the centrepiece of which is a large stone mantle and fireplace.
Hosting a dinner party? The kitchen is your friend here, with a large custom island, marble countertops in two finishes and chef-friendly features like a double oven and a built-in stovetop. Attached to the kitchen you’ll find a dining room, with tree-top views and skylights to allow a natural light to shine in. One more room over, you’ll find the three-season sitting room, which features more glorious views of the surrounds, a unique fireplace feature and rustic wood finishes.
The primary bedroom upstairs features its own three-sided fireplace, plus more vaulted wood ceilings, a large walk-through closet, a storage room and a private balcony. The primary bathroom features a built-in soaking tub plus a walk-in shower. The other three bedrooms on the upper floor all have unique layouts and design features, including colourful walls, kid-friendly carpeting, more vaulted ceilings and plenty of storage space. Up one more level you’ll find a small loft area, perfect for a teenage hangout, a second home office or small family den.
The lower level has been almost fully finished and offers plenty of amenities. It has a sauna room, complete with changing room area and a shower, plus a rec room and games room, with a door to the outside. There’s also a full home gym, a lower-level home office with its own fireplace, an additional bathroom plus the home’s laundry.
The exterior features a huge composite deck overlooking the inground pool. There’s also a dedicated pool room, complete with a bathroom and changing rooms. The detached garage and workshop, just across the driveway, also functions as a small guest house, with a living area (with both a kitchen and a bathroom) built on the second level. The sizeable property also features its own pond and nature trails.
As the list price would suggest, this isn’t a conventional listing, but a rare opportunity to move into one of the more stylish and unique properties in the London area. Nestled away in the forest, it offers privacy and tranquility, but also gives you a home that is perfect for hosting parties, family gatherings and more.
