About this home
A rare ravine property, custom-built in Erion Estates and framed by mature trees, offering effortless main-floor living. From the moment you step through the double front doors, you are greeted by soaring 2-storey ceilings, oversized windows, and a grand staircase. The main floor flows seamlessly, featuring a primary bedroom with a 5-piece ensuite and two closets, main-floor laundry and a convenient 2-piece powder room for guests. At the rear of the home, the kitchen overlooks the ravine, complete with an island and dining nook framed by views of your private yard and patio. The family room is bright and inviting, double-height windows showcasing the treetops and a cozy gas fireplace. The main-floor primary suite serves as a private retreat with two walk-in closets and a spa-inspired ensuite with double sinks, a soaker tub, and a shower. Additional spaces include a formal dining area, a sun-filled living room with a wood-burning fireplace, and laundry with direct access to the double-wide heated garage. Upstairs, two bedrooms and a full bath overlook both the foyer and family room. The basement features tall ceiling heights, a bedroom, and a flexible office or gym- currently used as a bedroom, both with large walk-in closets. Rough-in plumbing is in place for a bathroom or kitchenette, making it ideal for potential separate living space. The backyard is a true oasis, set on a lush, private ravine with mature gardens and an irrigation system. Properties like this, offering a ravine lot, classic design, and a main-floor lifestyle, you don't want to miss.
