Few first impressions are as striking as a full brick facade, perfect visual symmetry and a columned portico. A circular driveway leads the eye to the front door - surrounded by sidelights, lit by a coach-lamp and flanked by octagonal windows - entrances are full of character.

Over the threshold, a smart floor plan is a nod to European mid-century sensibilities. The floor plan flows effortlessly from one totally liveable space to the next - stately marble, hardwood floors and multiple wide entries into each room increase the sense of volume - never worry about sacrificing space for practicality or style. Entertaining-ready and family-centric rooms of stunning proportions culminate in the very best view of all; a dynamic family creating fond memories. Handle seasonal paraphernalia and pragmatic needs in the vestibule - a beautifully turned out powder room and front hall closet make a great pair.

In the main hall - take a moment to appreciate the dignified and comfortable sense of life here. Soaring ceilings and custom design elements give away a vibrant heritage. Custom moulding and millwork throughout add a touch of elegance to every locale. To the left, a formal living room and library make great hosts for both solo and group leisure time. Wood burning fireplaces in each add a formal flair to chic soirees, and expansive wall space is home to your favourite artwork. Beyond, an addition features a semi-circular bank of windows overlooking the back garden. Such beautiful proportions offer multiple uses - whether as a music room or informal family room, there is no task this space cannot handle.

Across the central hall, the dining room and kitchen collude for effortless hosting. Each independent but connected; you'll love how catering, prep and clean up easily stays out of sight from guests. Expansive windows, crown moulding and custom wall paneling are jumping off points to stunning dinner parties. In the kitchen, counter space and ample storage are chef favourites but it's the stunning views over the back garden that steal the show. Keep an eye on the kids as they play post-school, or take advantage of the eat-in area for meals on the go. Extra smart features are nearby garage, back garden and storage access. Grocery trips are a breeze, and outdoor gear is always close at hand.

Outside, alfresco entertaining yields pleasant summer months. A terrace invites leisurely evenings, barbecue at the ready. The extra large pool is sure to become a family favourite - surrounded by age-old trees, privacy and tranquility are guaranteed.

Back inside, take the wide center staircase to the second level, admiring the open to above architecture and sweeping window as you go. Ingeniously organized like the main level, the master suite and an accompanying bedroom lie beyond a small hallway - whether this coupling serves as the optimal work from home combination or nursery, there is so much to love. In the master: a sprawling footprint underscores regal crown moulding and tall windows that emphasize home's verdant surroundings. Large double closets manage all kinds of wardrobe choices. Scale is matched in the ensuite, where bay windows above a soaker tub lead overlook a private terrace - the feeling of relaxation is delicious. A large vanity, walk in shower and bidet round out a luxurious space.

Back in the main hall, a large main bath serves with ease - it's bright and spacious with a soaker tub and walk in shower for indulgence. Two remaining bedrooms exceed expectations; light-filled and well-sized - all occupants are happy. The guest room boasts its own three-piece ensuite, garnering alternative use as a bedroom for autonomous teen.

In the basement, find additional storage like a cedar closet and wet bar. A comfortable rec room features rich built-ins - you've just found the perfect home base for movie night. Access to the back garden makes seasonal decor easy to stow away, and a three piece bathroom and laundry room complete this level.

As the city grows, home claims a highly favourable position; steps to the city's best schools, minutes to the city's business, cultural, and social centres, and an abundance of parks and bike paths to explore.
