The place

A four-bedroom, 6-bathroom property in the suburbs of Aurora. The farmhouse and its three-car garage are at the end of an extensive private driveway that runs through more than 12 acres. Highlights include a Muskoka three-season room, soaring timber trusses and an outdoor hot tub.

The History

The home was constructed in the 1980s to resemble a farmhouse that is long gone. The current owners, a couple, purchased the place in 2010 and immediately renovated the interior and exterior—finishing the basement, paving the driveway and planting trees throughout. Now they’re downsizing and putting it all on the market.

The tour

The front entrance (in the background), leads to the stairwell. Next, the kitchen is reached. Hemlock hardwood flooring is found throughout.

The kitchen sits right at the front of the house.

The island here is Calcutta marble.

There’s a Wolf induction cooktop embedded in the island with a built-in ventilation system.

The induction oven is Wolf.

The beverage station is conveniently located next to the dining area. It includes a wine refrigerator.

The dining area overlooks the three-season room.

Here’s that three-season room, with screen walls. It looks out onto the backyard and an endless forest.

The three-season room overlooks the backyard and patio.

Next up, the home’s central feature: its sunken great room.

The sunken Great Room anchors the entire residence.

It has a gas fire place (designed to look as if it were a wood stove) and vaulted wood trusses lined the ceiling.

These French doors lead out onto the patio.

This powder room is located on the porch.

And this office space—with corner windows, a built-in bookcase and grasscloth wallpaper—is the last stop on the main-floor tour.

The office has a built-in book shelf.

The four bedrooms are located on the second level, and each has its own ensuite bathroom.

All four bedrooms come with ensuite bathrooms.

Here’s the main bedroom. The French doors of the main bedroom open onto a Juliet balcony with a view of the backyard. The dormer adds a touch of class.

There's a Juliet balcony beyond those French doors.

The main ensuite is equipped with a soaker bath, a shower in glass, a separate bathroom (not shown) and marble tiles.

In the main ensuite: a soaker tub, a glass shower and plenty of marble.

This bedroom has semi vaulted ceilings, an interesting light fixture, and open shelving which doubles as a showcase.

The fourth bedroom has an impressive ball cap display.

The ensuite features a walk-in-shower, penny-tile flooring and an elegant exposed-sink.

Heading to the basement reveals the space-saving wine rack–staircase combo. This sliding barn door provides more storage.

The wine-rack-staircase hybrid is an ingenious space saver.

The basement is equipped with heated floors as well as a walkout to your backyard.

The finished basement may is a giant rec room.

There’s a sunken home theatre down here that also connects to the patio.

The home theatre is also sunken.

Down the hall, you will find the gym.

Here's the basement gym.

And here’s the deck.

The deck and the Muskoka Room.

The large deck descends from the three-season room and comes with a grill and dining area.

The patio with herringbone-bricks is where the real fun happens: there’s a firepit, hot tub, manicured garden and a beautiful view of the countryside.

Nothing but green and blue for miles.

It’s so nice you have to see it twice—this time from above.

A third of this property is covered by a lawn that would be suitable for a golf-course, and the remainder is protected woodland.

The property sits on 12 acres of verdant land.

Finally, here’s a shot of a winding driveway.

Take me home, country roads.
