As you climb flagstone stairs to the entryway note how this home has been beautifully landscaped into its hillside location to create a stunning sense of presence. Beyond the marble tiled front entrance, step into the central reception area – enjoy a great volume of space and open flow. This is a home of broad sweeping spaces, where openness and privacy are balanced. Large families can entertain and lead busy lives, all while enjoying their own sense of space and privacy. The result? Relaxed living and inspired entertaining.

From the main hall the large living room opens to your left. With large windows at each end, this zone is bright and incredibly flexible - there's room for a music room and formal living room combination, or any configuration that suits your lifestyle - this is flexible living at its best. Floors gleam in lustrous honey oak hardwood and a gas fireplace with fluted hearth adds warmth and dignity. A great space for starting conversations and hosting dignified guests. You'll notice the effortless open transition to the dining room, where a 'just right' sense of formality defines a setting that's ready for refined entertaining, yet family friendly.

Continue to the family room at the back of the home - wide open, yet invisible from formal entertaining areas. There's no bottlenecking here - large gatherings of 70+ people mingle effortlessly thanks to this circular flow. This casual space is kitted with a tv and designed with comfort in mind - keep an eye on post-school routines from the adjacent kitchen and eat-in zone. From here, extend the space during outdoor months - twin sliding doors open onto a sprawling outdoor deck and urban oasis. Enjoy a relaxing dip in the hot tub, barbecue, entertain large parties throughout summer. The privacy fence and neighbourhood trees offer protection from the sun, while a shed stores outdoor gear. All the ingredients for an active family summer are ready and waiting.

Back inside, an updated and remodeled kitchen leaves no doubt as to the social aptitudes of this home. Here, the quartz-topped centre island surrounded by granite counter space has a Wolf gas cooktop and side by side grill –ready to cook for a crowd. A retractable range hood appears at the touch of a button, strategically added so as not to interrupt the open flow and sightlines as you move through home. Crisp, contemporary cabinetry is smart too - drawer storage and pull up cabinets keep the space clutter-free. Double wall-oven and wine cooler ensure culinary tools are at your fingertips when you need them most.

French doors lead to a bright front office just off the entrance hall. With floor-to-ceiling built-ins, a peaceful garden view and an endless vista of Oakhill Rd this is an inspiring, productive workspace. Close to the front entrance, meet associates without disturbing the household. A powder room with Cape Cod detail serves guests in style.

An oak stairway leads to a spacious second floor landing where 4 bedrooms offer rare luxuries. The master offers a private entry hall, an extra separation that proffers parental privacy for your adult refuge. The suite is large and bright, with a windowed walk-in closet. The master suite bathroom is beyond spacious, with ceramic tiled glass walled double walk in shower, window-side tub, double pedestal sinks and bidet. Behind doors: a discrete built in laundry - never haul overflowing hampers up and down stairs again.

Two bedrooms on this floor offer generous footprints that your autonomous teens will love: there's enough room for a sitting room or homework zone, and each has their own ensuite. The first, with a cheater door to the main hall, is full of fresh and chic updates: white mosaic tile, underlit niches, custom bamboo and quartz vanity with makeup light sconces, a free-standing soaker tub and walk-in shower - it's a dream. The second bedroom is spacious, and boasts an enviable three piece ensuite as well as a cozy homework or hangout zone. A third bedroom offers plenty of light and the perfect spot for a nursery or younger children's bedroom.

A glass wall leads to the basement, continuing the theme of natural light throughout. A fully finished living room with gas fireplace makes a private retreat for adults as well as children. Don't be fooled though, there's still ample room for a fitness zone or craft corner if you wish. The state-of-the-art home-theatre/media room on this floor is fully sound insulated, designed for unimpeded top-of-the-line projector-video and audio. There's an accommodating guest suite here too, with luxurious three piece bathroom - whether it serves as a nanny or in-law suite, occupants are sure to feel comfortable and right at home. This classic basement gets bonus points for its cold room/wine cellar, plenty of storage and a bright workshop.
