Some homes announce themselves quietly with a considered elevation, an oversized 2.5-car garage set behind mature gardens and an arched stone entry that hints at what's inside. Here the curb appeal is anchored by the brick/stone exterior and covered front porch with established gardens framing the front walk while the wide concrete drive offers the practicality to match the presence. Inside, rich hardwood & crown moulding carry through the principal rooms, setting a tone that is warm without being heavy. A separate dining room makes a particular impression - a boxed-trim feature wall , painted in a deep tone-on-tone theme, gives it the intentional presence of a space designed to be used. The kitchen continues the palette w/rich espresso cabinetry reaching to the ceiling, quartz counters, a glass tile backsplash & stainless appliances, opening through to a family room with a focal-piece gas fireplace, built-in cabinetry & California shutters. That same attention to detail - shutters, crown moulding, considered finishes - threads quietly through every level of the home. Upstairs, three large bedrooms include a generous primary w/ tray ceiling, walk-in closet & 4-piece ensuite w/ glass-enclosed shower. A separate 4-piece bath serves the additional bedrooms. The finished lower level adds a 4th bedroom, 3-piece bath & a fantastic media room with seated wet bar, creating expanded living space that functions independently rather than as an afterthought. The backyard features a large deck, heated, in-ground, saltwater pool w/ terraced full-width cushioned steps/seats & multi-colour lighting, a timber-frame cabana offering covered lounge space & storage. Fully fenced on a spacious lot, it is the kind of outdoor space that earns a home its keep through every summer month & through the off season. Ilderton's small-town feel, close-knit community & easy access to London make it a setting that is increasingly hard to find at any price.
