The Details!:
Located on one of the Beach’s finest streets, this landmark home is one of the most picturesque you will find. Stunningly set on a large 55 by 127 foot lot, this home retains the original character of the century old bungalow while beautifully melding with a three bedroom, three washroom addition which overlooks the pool sized backyard.
The interior perfectly balances new and old in a wonderful layout. As you enter through the front door a light filled spacious living room awaits you. Stained glass, original to the home casts a subtle glow, wide window sills are perfect to perch on. A floor to ceiling double-sided fireplace with a clean contemporary look warms both the living and dining/kitchen areas. Halogen pot lights accent the soaring ceilings.
The kitchen and dining areas are great for entertaining. A true chef’s kitchen, with a commercial gas stove, an abundance of cabinetry and lots of counterspace in both honed granite and marble, overlooks the dining room.
The addition features two bedrooms plus a master suite. The first two bedrooms are linked by a 4 piece washroom. Both bedrooms have contemporary French doors opening onto a deck that sleekly spans the full width of the addition. Across a black slate breezeway and through double hung barn doors you will find the master bedroom complete with a glass walled sitting area accented by George Nelson Bubble lamps, gorgeous ensuite bath and custom fitted walk-in closet.
The lower level is expansive with high ceilings. The family room is broadloomed and a great space to relax in. There is also a fourth bedroom – perfect for guests. There’s plenty of storage on this level.
Wraparound porches hug the house offering a great selection of outdoor entertaining spaces. The current owners realizing the importance of enjoying the outdoors completely re-invented the landscape. Most importantly, they installed the private drive which allows for at least 2 car parking. The front yard was terraced, new stone steps were installed connected by a pleasant walkway and bordered with hydrangeas and evergreen yews. The backyard was completed by tongue and groove cedar fencing, a gorgeous Wiarton stone patio the perimeter edged with massive armour stone rockery and a gorgeous number of birch and mature evergreen trees.
