Strength, beauty, elegance and infinite wisdom. Perhaps it is time for a personal introduction to Rockcliffe Park's, 410 Wood Avenue.
Well-positioned on the curve of a private cul-de-sac, with an exterior of cultured stone, glass and warm wood, this inviting and luxurious home, of almost 7,000 square feet, cannot wait to share its story. »cont'd
Built in the 1950s, high quality renovations have introduced the best of modern design and retained the priceless elements of original craftsmanship. Brilliantly designed to maximize natural light and showcase seasonal views, this stately property effortlessly transforms from the ultimate entertaining venue, to a tranquil urban getaway.
Park in a thoughtful driveway, with garage and spots for at least six vehicles, and enter through an architecturally impressive door of cedar and steel. Take in a pleasing open flow, LED lighting, soaring ceilings and floors of rich maple hardwood.
Custom glass doors and windows, imported from Ireland, and repeating details of live-edge maple, help to create and enhance a seamless connection to beautiful exterior gardens and landscaping. Electronic silhouette blinds gently disperse the day's sunny beams and provide just the right amount of coverage.
Before moving toward the rear of the home, pause to study an ingenious and convertible ground-floor office and homework room. Steps further reveal the grand room's Town & Country gas fireplace and back wall of glass doors, rising almost to the ceiling. Open them wide or gaze out to a fully fenced-in and sprawling span of green space, paths, trees, landscaped beds, gazebo, cedar decks and interlocking stone patios. A freshly upgraded, kidney-shaped, salt-water pool invites for morning dips, evening swims, memorable gatherings and restful staycations.
A spectacular eat-in chef's kitchen shares similar backyard views, through tilt and swivel windows, offering an abundance of counter space, two sinks, one of three main-floor beverage fridges, gleaming island, high end GE monogram appliances and Wolf gas range. Chic design elements such as granite waterfall edges, lacquer cabinetry and bespoke tile backsplash complete the enviable look and feel.
Tucked around the corner, a splendid coffee and dessert station, boasting a third kitchen sink, provides passage to the home's stylish dining room. An adjacent wine room, with space for 200 bottles, beckons for nights of delicious meals, late night laughter and hours of wonderful conversation.
Pass a well-appointed powder room, with vessel sink, to climb a stately open staircase of wood, steel and glass. Read, chat or find respite in a cheery library and family room before stepping up to the home's lavish and secluded primary bedroom. To the left, a sunken dressing room captures attention with mirrors, walls of closets, and personal sink. A second walk-in closet leads to a spa-style ensuite with soothing neutral tile, sunken tub and glass shower with rainforest system. Smartly divided double sinks keep everything neat and organized.
Wind down a lengthy hallway to discover four more generous and windowed bedrooms and four more full bathrooms, including a marvelous guest suite with balcony. A desirable second floor laundry room and walk-in storage room assist in making everyday life more convenient and on-track.
When raucous fun, innovative pursuits and exercise are on the list, a gorgeous lower level of high ceilings, recessed lighting and ceiling speakers is ready for action. Take stairs down and enter through an esteemed sitting room. Turn up the volume while watching movies, television and playing games in the perfect home entertainment centre, begging for a projector, screen and oversized leather chairs. A second full kitchen is ideal for catering production, food staging, staff or all-day teenage snacking.
Workouts take little time when travelling to an onsite gym, attached to a full bathroom. Note how easily these spaces could be converted for other needs and uses. Create, take calls or hold virtual meetings in a second large office. Tastefully hidden storage and tool rooms have places for all that is needed to maintain this ultimate family home.
