This custom-built, detached South Hill home was thoughtfully designed and constructed just seventeen years ago. Quietly recessed back from the street and sheltered by mature trees, the home provides both privacy and a peaceful, tree-lined setting, minutes from the city's finest amenities. Elevated above street level, the open-concept principal rooms offer a generous combined living and dining space, ideal for large-scale furnishings and expanded gatherings. The kitchen and family room are combined at the rear of the home and both look into the private ravine backdrop of the garden. The kitchen has solid custom cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, durable granite countertops and a custom built-in breakfast area that overlooks the family room beside it. There is a walk-out to a deck from the kitchen and family room, with stairs down to the stone terrace to enjoy the garden wrapped in greenery. The second floor offers three spacious bedrooms and two full bathrooms. The primary suite is an exceptional retreat, generously proportioned with a huge walk-in closet and a luxurious five-piece ensuite bath. The other two bedrooms have tree-lined views, ample closet space, and share a four-piece bathroom. In the lower level a sprawling recreation room spans the width of the house and provides a direct walk-out to the garden. This level is serviced by a three-piece bathroom, and a fully equipped laundry room with loads of storage and a large above-grade window. One of the most favoured of features in this home is the direct access to the built-in garage. Offering space for a full-sized automobile, the garage also has plenty of room for storage for seasonal items. The private driveway can hold two additional cars and the house is directly across from a local park, and walking distance to both Dupont and Summerhill subway stations. Stroll to Yorkville on weekends, or walk to restaurants in Rosedale to meet friends.
