Offering breathtaking Westerly views of Como Lake this architect designed custom-built two year old craftsman style home is a neighborhood landmark. This 5,000 square foot family home situated on the finest piece of lake front property features heavy exposed Douglas fir post and bean construction, ten and a half foot high ceilings, custom designed wood windows and French doors, Ann Sacks tiles, La Forge door hardware, and custom colored hand-painted walls.
The center of this house is the grand country kitchen which is a culinary treat. The 45 X 20 foot kitchen features a French limestone kitchen floor, walk-in pantry with built-ins and beautiful wrought-iron gate, top-of-the line stainless steel appliances including two full-size refrigerators, custom finished kitchen cabinetry from Kitchenspace/Downsview kitchens, tumble marble backsplash with bronze inserts, and a 10 X 4 foot island. The kitchen has also been designed with an eating area to seat eight and a ?family room? area with space for a couch, a couple of armchairs, and an armoire for the family television and sound system.
Also on the main floor of the house are the living room/dining room with wood burning fire place, a large guest bedroom with a 4 piece ensuite, a small office/library with views of the garden, a half bathroom featuring the much sought after Cesame sink, a ?mud room?, and a children?s playroom with skylights, a built in entertainment center and a large blue and white checkered linoleum floor.
The second floor is accessed by the free-standing staircase custom-made of reclaimed Douglas fir which is a work of art in and of itself. The upstairs features four generous sized bedrooms, all facing the lake. The master bedroom features a cathedral ceiling, a gas fireplace surrounded by Jerusalem marble and a set of French doors leading to a small balcony. The master bedroom has a 5 piece ensuite with an ?Ultra-bath? whirlpool soaker tub, tumbled marble and mosaic backsplash and Jerusalem marble vanity. The two middle bedrooms are joined by a single bathroom which is also a 5 piece ensuite and which features a clerestory and a custom bowed-front vanity. The fourth bedroom has southerly and westerly exposures and features a 4 piece Kohler ensuite.
The property itself is sunny and private as it is bordered on the south by a lane which provides access to the detached two car garage and large attic storage space and on the north by a small cross street. There is patio space in both the front and back of the home which is ideal for entertaining, summer grilling, or children playing. The garden has been professionally landscaped with many types of flowering trees and fragrant shrubs and boasts an abundance of old growth cedars and black walnut trees.
