For sale: Detached

Welcome to 1704 Upper West Ave. Located in Riverbend and set against the quiet backdrop of Warbler Woods, this custom-built home offers over 6,000 sq ft of thoughtfully designed space, where elegance and everyday function genuinely meet. 5 bedrooms, 7 baths, and a fully finished walk-out lower level. Step through 8' double doors into a grand two-storey foyer with soaring 20' ceilings and white oak hardwood throughout. Formal living and dining rooms sit at the front, away from daily traffic, while a butler's pantry connects the dining room to the kitchen so serving never crosses the family space. The chef's kitchen opens seamlessly to the breakfast area and family room: granite counters, 36" Thermador induction cooktop (gas rough-in), double wall ovens, built-in microwave, W-I pantry and breakfast bar seating. The adjacent keeping room is bright and peaceful with forest views, and the expansive composite deck is made for gatherings, or quiet mornings above the trees. A private main floor office with forest view and 2pc ensuite doubles as a main-level bedroom. A mudroom off the 3-car garage keeps the kitchen clear, plus a powder room for guests. Upstairs, the primary suite overlooks the woods with a spa-inspired ensuite: dbl sinks, oversized soaker tub, rainfall shower, and a large walk-in closet with built-ins. Three more bedrooms each have their own ensuite, so no shared bath and no morning bottleneck. Laundry sits on the bedroom level, and a large upper office converts to a 6th bedroom. The walk-out lower level lives like a second home: family room with gas fireplace, home gym, sound-insulated gaming/media room, art studio, storage rooms, and dedicated HVAC. Backyard conceptual plan with pool, cabana, fire pit and more available. Extras: EV charger rough-in, central vac, motorized window shades, all appliances. New elementary school under construction nearby.
