“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.

“The home’s west-facing backyard, deck and pool get plenty of sunlight. Mature evergreens provide complete privacy to the fenced compound that houses the pool and landscaped social gathering areas. The remainder of the property is a treed and easy-to-maintain lawn that has plenty of space between the neighbouring yards,” says listing agent Paula Santos. More....
