As you step into the main living area, you will see that all areas are oversized and allow for the free flow of movement. The dining room is big enough for large dinner parties and if you open the French doors, your guests can overflow onto the adjoining patio.
The formal living room is ideal for entertaining large groups and the French doors open to the large patio and gardens so your guests can enjoy the bay views and the gardens. Of course the bay views are the focal point in this room, but your eyes will also be drawn to the fabulous centre fireplace with 1800’s English mantle – a real conversation piece!
When you see the office, you will understand why it took a master carpenter 3 months to complete! Richly paneled in solid cherry with custom built-in shelves, bookcases and trophy cabinet. The corner gas fireplace adds to the drama of this room. It is ideally located so that it can be easily accessed from the front door and also has a rear door that leads to the master bedroom area.
The spacious kitchen by Images is reproduction “Smallbone” style cabinetry. The large centre island and expanse of counter and cabinet space is ideal for serious cooks. As it is open to the informal family room with oversized fireplace, your guests will comfortably flow from room to room. Look down and you will notice the unique marks such as animal footprints, in the handmade Mexican tile.
The Conservatory is by far the favourite room of the current homeowners. With 6 walls of windows, it is ideally situated to take in the best lake views. Watch the sun rise over the bridge as you drink your morning coffee.
The master bedroom takes up the entire west wing of the first floor. It encompasses several nested spaces across a sprawling amount of space. As you enter the master bedroom you will be taken by the vaulted ceilings, tall palladian windows with lake views, focal point gas fireplace and the wall of closets. An intimate den is currently used as a “sewing room” and could easily be converted to “her” office. There are 2 ensuite bathrooms – “hers” has luxurious cabinetry, marble flooring, and a lot of feminine touches. His ensuite bathroom is “all Ralph Lauren” with its rich wood paneling, glass enclosed shower and masculine finishes. There are also 2 separate walk-in dressing rooms with built-ins and to complete the master area, there is a work-out room.
One of the unique features of this home, is the upstairs which has been purposely left unfinished. This 2130 square feet of space can easily be finished to meet your needs.
The second floor east wing is an ideal nanny suite or guest wing with its bedroom, sitting area and bathroom. There is also a large balcony off this area so your guests can sit outside and enjoy the views of the gardens and bay.
The entire setting is laced with pretty trees and shrubs which attract wildlife, including fox, rabbit and the resident swans!
