near the entrance. At the rear, the kitchen brings together full-height white Shaker cabinetry, a veined slab backsplash, a five-burner Wolf gas cooktop, two Miele built-in ovens, a paneled fridge and Miele dishwasher, walk in pantry and an island that seats four. The adjoining dining area and vaulted family room with a gas fireplace keep the main living spaces connected. A mudroom with a built-in bench, cubbies and laundry provides a practical place for daily arrivals. Sliding glass doors extend the living space to a covered patio with Phantom retractable screens, a stone outdoor fireplace, mounted TV and built-in speakers. Beyond, mature trees frame a private, fenced backyard with two raised vegetable gardens, included with the home. The upper level has four bedrooms and three full bathrooms. The primary suite includes a walk-in closet and a five-piece ensuite with heated floors and a freestanding tub. An expanded second bedroom offers its own sitting area and ensuite. Downstairs, a large rec room is complemented by a gym that could serve as an office or studio, along with a spacious nanny or in-law suite with a private bathroom and walk-in closet. An oversized storage room beneath the porch provides additional storage. The waterfront, Bronte Harbour, downtown Oakville, the YMCA, Appleby College and local schools are nearby, with GO Transit and the QEW a short drive away. From the main-floor office to the lower-level suite, the layout offers flexibility as a family’s needs change. (id:62650)
