Welcome to … Bienvenue au …
1160, promenade du Gouverneur Drive
Ahhhh….tranquility, serenity, privacy…it’s all here. Just under two acres, 10 minutes from Place d’Orleans! Custom built in 1997, this beautiful home offers approximately 3000 sq. ft. of luxurious, bright, open-concept living space. Every window has a view of the forest…this home features many majestic & oversized windows. With a southwest facing backyard , it is always bright and cheery and the many mature trees offer cooling comfort.
This home has great curb appeal…from the street, right up to the front door. A lovely slate tiled porch will easily accommodate a couple of chairs where you can enjoy the beautiful perennial gardens and the sound of water from the pond and mini water-fall a few feet away.
As soon as you enter this home, you will be impressed. The abundance of quality material is quite evident … note the doors, the glass block walls in the staircase area, the elegant slate floors, the dining room with its daring dark grey wall enhanced by its two-storey windows!
The gorgeous gourmet kitchen is every chef’s delight! It features lots of granite counter space with Kitchen Aid's built in Architect Series stainless steel appliances. The 4' x 8' island, has a full-size gas slide-in oven with gas burners, a family size refrigerator, a full size built-in wall oven combined with a microwave, a wine fridge, and a trash compactor. A stainless steel hood fan hangs over the gas stove. Note the beautiful slate backsplash – truly a piece of art! Let’s not forget the large walk-in pantry! What a treat! The eating area is generously-sized and with its oversized windows, it feels like you’re eating outside!
From the eating area, a patio door leads to a very spacious deck along the back of the house and a smaller deck to accommodate a full-size BBQ. You will never run out of gas as there is a gas line.
Immediately adjacent to the kitchen is what is called a hearth room – perfect for those precious family conversations while preparing meals…a family-room like area with an obstructed view of the beautiful slate two-sided wood burning fireplace.
The living room with its 18 foot high ceiling and a wall of windows is stunning! Again, the view of the forest is spectacular, with windows galore in this home, you aren’t going to miss much of it!
At one end of the house is the master suite. This bedroom is enhanced by a wall of windows & double garden doors to the large deck and the ensuite is beautiful and dramatic with its black whirlpool tub and a granite counter his & her sinks. An oversized shower is enclosed by a wall of glass blocks. And to top it off, there is another tall slate 3-sided fireplace, this one a gas-burning fireplace for immediate easy warmth when needed.
Also on the main floor is the study/den quietly tucked away at the front of the house, a bright powder room, a spacious laundry room with lots of counter space, a closet & a practical back door.
The second floor offers two bedrooms and a main bathroom. Its open gallery offers a spectular view of the main level. From one of the bedrooms, you will enjoy the outside balcony and view of the woods…
The unspoiled basement awaits your needs and creativity!
The property itself is about 2.14 acres. The backyard is partially fenced and there are extensive perrenial gardens at the front. The rest of the property has been left in its natural state. There is a shed for additional storage room and should one want to build a detached garage, there is room for that as well.
We thank you for visiting and we would be pleased to entertain an offer on your behalf.
