The Details
More than a few times, Home of the Week has featured homes described as “modern farmhouse” in style ― a popular design direction to take homes these days. But this week, we’ve got a listing that’s the real deal ― a custom-buit five-bedroom, three-and-a-half bath home in West Elgin.
What will stand out immediately in the design of the main floor is the use of rustic materials ― a huge two-storey stone fireplace that spans the home’s two levels, which offers a beautiful contrast to the ornamental beams and natural white oak hardwood flooring found throughout the main level. The main living area has an open layout, with the kitchen to the left of the foyer and the living room to the right. The living room centres around the towering gas fireplace and wood-beam mantel.
The kitchen features striking quartzite countertops ― almost cowhide-esque with its black-and-white veining ― an oversized central island and upgraded appliances, including a large gas range. The kitchen also loads of Shaker-style cabinetry, a wine fridge and a large sink in the island. Rounding out the main-level living area, there’s a den and family room that offers some separation from the rest of the home.
There are two bedrooms on the main level, plus a primary suite on the second loft-style floor. The primary suite features an ensuite bathroom and a unique half-wall that looks out over the living room. The second floor has a balcony lookout over the main level, and the two bedrooms are perfect for kids’ rooms or guestrooms and share a full bathroom.
The lower level is a finished space with two points of access, making it ideal as a potential in-law suite, though its current orientation leans toward the rec-room direction. It features lots of built-in storage, carpeted flooring and plenty of additional storage space. There’s also two additional bedrooms on this level, both of which would also work well as home offices or studios. There’s a shared bathroom as well, which features a walk-in glass shower.
And naturally, in a country setting like this, the outdoors features prominently. A partially-covered patio with a hot tub looks out over a spacious backyard, and beyond that there is 42 acres of pristine workable sandy loam soil. And of course, no country property is complete without space to put the tools and toys! Here, a detached garage, with in-floor heating and its own electrical panel, is big enough for multiple vehicles, and with an unfinished loft space on the second level, fits that bill.
