What makes a house a home? A space made intentionally with the everyday as well as special occasions in mind — lines which naturally inspire gathering, a kitchen built for seamlessly preparing meals, and bathrooms that make yearly spa trips obsolete. A backyard which allows lilacs to bloom, birds to nest, and foxes to run freely. Natural beauty reigns supreme in this abode, as evidenced by the view from the back. The house is prominent in its own subtle way while living in harmony with the greenery that surrounds it.

A unmistakable red front door hints at the contemporary design to follow within while a friendly rock with the house number '10' on it signals a welcome feeling to visitors. Upon entry, your eyes are delighted by hanging art pieces in the form of custom light fixtures which continue throughout the home — each chosen to carry the task of creating flow, visual appeal, and of course, producing light. The latter is only really needed after sunset to the sheer amount of windows — a mix of clerestory and cathedrals match vaulted ceilings.

The lights taunt your gaze upwards, sizing up high ceilings in the open living space, kitchen, and lounge. At the centre of it all, the dining area is at a perfect vantage point for formal dinners, family get-togethers, and special occasions. Enjoy a formal meal while gazing upon south-facing views of the backyard. Entertain guests in a lounge with heated soft French oak flooring and cathedral windows. Freshen up in a powder room off the entryway beside a coat closet. In the kitchen, pristine white quartz is complemented by warm wood, open shelving, and antique brass hardware. Impeccable design meets function with floor to ceiling space-saving flip lift cabinets and built-in five star appliances including a Bosch dishwasher, gas stovetop, and built-in oven. Wide open space is made cozy with a stone gas fireplace in the living area, elevated by sliding glass patio doors which lead to the main deck and barbeque. Steps from the kitchen, outdoor dining is a cinch. Beyond the kitchen, indulge in a slow weekend morning in the primary bedroom with a walk-in closet and luxurious en-sutie. Rejuvenate in a glass double rain shower with a cantilevered marble bench and herringbone wood tile for a zen outdoor shower experience, indoors.

Tuck into a book in the library and dedicated home office which overlooks a private balcony — an ideal grown-up retreat. Beside it, a convenient powder room. Meanwhile, the lower level is a teenagers' paradise. Four generous above-grade bedrooms with sizable closets, windows, and customized en-suites provide space and privacy for growing families. A spacious lounge offers plenty of opportunity to invite friends for a movie night or pizza party while a secondary living space for a pool table, mini library or board game shelf fits every leisure preference. Let the chaos of the day fade away in a cedar sauna with customizable ambient lights. Follow the guest room — or ideal home-gym — to the outdoor patio. Stone tiles with grass in-between blend seamlessly into the vast greenery which surrounds spruce trees, cedars, and a dogwood that create a lush private canopy. Gather around a fire table beside the rock garden and retaining wall draped in rose bushes. Park in a heated double garage.

A rare opportunity to live in a home on a nearly half-acre lot with modern finishes — completed in 2020 — and luxurious materials while surrounded by greenery awaits. Rural living yet just 10 minutes to downtown by car. Close to sought after schools, including Colonel By secondary, green spaces, riverside trails, yet steps from urban amenities.
