Offering over 3,000 sq. ft. above grade, the home showcases timeless character and modern sophistication, beautifully transformed with exceptional detail throughout. Enjoy sunrises and sunsets from four wrap-around porches, a triple attached garage and double heated detached coach house with loft-ideal for guests, studio space or future in-law potential. An inviting foyer wrapped in dramatic floor-to-ceiling shaker wainscoting separates the formal living and dining rooms, each with oversized windows bathing the home in natural daylight. The showstopper designer kitchen features soaring white tray ceilings, two oversized centre islands, built-in Jenn-Air appliances and an impressive L-shaped breakfast nook overlooking the tranquil rear yard. Anchored by a captivating gas fireplace, the family room offers warmth and ambiance, while a thoughtfully designed laundry/mudroom and stylish 3-piece bath complete the main level. The renovated primary suite features a walk-in closet and designer ensuite with glass walk-in shower, wall-hung toilet, freestanding tub and mirrored makeup area. The whimsical staircase to the lower level sets the tone for an entertainer's paradise with recreation room, splendid bar, games room, bedroom, office and spectacular theatre/media room with nostalgic double-door entry. Stealing the spotlight is the resort-inspired outdoor oasis, where reclaimed land, tiered Armour stone, sprawling patio, handcrafted Douglas Fir pergolas, tranquil water feature and gas firepit create an extraordinary retreat. Significant investments include septic relocation and tank replacement, allowing this remarkable vision to become reality. A legacy estate awaits!
