From French doors to a pool house, this Whitby home has it all: Home of the Week

“We are the original owners and had our home custom-built for our family about 16 years ago. Our favourite place in the home is the living room with its floor-to-ceiling windows and 18-ft. ceilings. We especially love the views of our backyard oasis and the natural light that floods into this room, the family room and kitchen,” says homeowner Gillian Lauder.

“Our property is part of a neighbourhood of 36 executive homes with a mix of retired, semi-retired and young families. Traditional decorative street lights add to the architectural ambience and contribute to it feeling almost like a gated community,” says Lauder.

The home is walking distance to a park and a community centre. It is a short drive to golf clubs, ski resorts, shopping, restaurants and other amenities in nearby Brooklin. It has easy access to Highway 407.

Set to music, each tour starts out with shots of the neighbourhood, a pan of the street, then shows the outside of the house, and moves from room to room inside highlighiting its features. The virtual tours are a big factor in attracting potential buyers and are also provided to the seller as a keepsake after the sale"
