Finding a safe neighbourhood with a sense of community, with great schools, and proximity to Toronto was important to us, says homeowner Elaine Newton.

The layout of our home has been perfect for both raising our family and for entertaining. Our house is on a half-acre lot with a large in-ground pool with a built-in hot tub, a loggia, a playground, multiple seating areas, a basketball court, and a cabana with wet bar and washroom, added Newton.

The home is also near parks, golf courses, restaurants, shopping, and easy access to Hwys. 7 and 407.

This property stands out with its wrought-iron gates and fencing, and manicured grounds. The home was custom-built with exceptional quality, featuring built-ins throughout, oversized windows, and an open-concept kitchen and breakfast area, says listing agent Voula Argyropoulos, who adds there is also a four-car heated garage.

This L-shaped estate features a stone and stucco exterior, an impressive, covered double-door entrance with a balcony above, a second covered entrance, a varied roofline with multiple peaks, arched windows, and interlocking drive and walkways.

Inside, the grand foyer features a two-storey ceiling with a large crystal chandelier, limestone floor with inlay, and a double closet.

Living room highlights include a floor-to-ceiling window, a limestone floor, a gas fireplace with a detailed plaster surround and mantel, and wall sconces.

The formal dining room contains a limestone floor, crown moulding, a crystal chandelier, and a double garden door walkout.
