English Tudor Styling in Prestigious Hastings Cove
Nestled amid a mature Birch Grove, this extremely high quality-built four bedroom custom residence awaits a new owner of such well-designed graciousness. Generous expanses of window allow natural daylight to flood throughout this unique gem. Hand-split B.C. Shingles provide a long-lasting exterior finish, adding to the massive amount of character encased within this property.
Meander the stone walkway to the main entrance, bordered by professional landscaping and your journey begins.
As the solid door swings inward between the double sidelights, prepare for the visual delights to come. Step inside... you have arrived at 36 Elizabeth Parkway!
The double-wide tiled foyer will make you smile with delight. It features a secondary staircase for convenience at the far left and a large window. A French door is centered between the two hardwood stairways and leads down to the basement level. The extra-wide, custom concave staircase invites you up to the main living area. Solid wood flooring, trim, casings, crown and moldings flow throughout the entire house.
The foyer ceiling soars to the main level, enhanced by the sparkling Swarovski crystal chandelier, draws the eye up to the matching Swarovski wall sconce flanking the wonderful entrance hall.
This area is the central point of the residence, where all traffic flow converges from the entire house.
To the right of the foyer through a double archway you enter the spacious living room. This room with its many windows allows for three separate seating areas; a generous central seating arrangement, a tranquil seating space before a huge window with seasonal sunset views and a cozy seating area at the far end centered around the fireplace. Spaciousness and views of the outdoors abound in this lovely space! The floor to ceiling brick fireplace has a propane insert. Just flick the switch and the warm and glow of the fire is ready. This is a perfect place for people who love to entertain friends and host large family functions!
The gracious dining room features a stunning Swarovski crystal chandelier, the oversized picture window looking out into the back garden, built-in cabinetry for table leaf storage and a curio cabinet. This room is spacious enough for a large dining table and china cabinet. The stunning Swarovski chandelier presiding over the dining room table glitters its many facetted colours, Stunning!
Another door leads directly into the huge custom-built eat-in kitchen with numerous custom cabinets for all your storage needs and more! Some features include; an eight foot Central Island with two Jenn-Air cooktops with 8 burners, (imagine how convenient for preparing special occasion meals!) with downdraft, floor to ceiling propane brick fireplace, a built-in window seat flanked by custom built-in cabinetry cozied up to a large picture window. The spacious eating area before the fireplace has a large bow window overlooking the privacy of the fenced in garden and plenty of room for a family sized kitchen table. A French door provides access to the back deck.
The den/family room has huge windows bringing in the beauty of the outdoors to this cozy space. The fireplace in this room has a newer propane insert, and is the perfect spot to warm up before a crackling fire on a cold winter's evening after cross country skiing along the river (a popular pastime in this neighborhood). This room features custom built-in shelving for surrounding yourself with many well-loved books. Double French doors lead from this nurturing space out into the openness of the extra-wide hallway.
Directly to the right is the tiled main level full bath. This three-piece bath has a built-in vanity and a one-piece acrylic bath/shower, a large window and is spacious enough for a furniture piece.
Up the very solid elegant turned staircase with large paladin window and another Swarovski crystal chandelier.
Multiple windows grace the lovely master suite with sitting area. Extra-large windows overlook the grounds. A large walk-in closet with numerous built-ins boasts custom-built fitted cabinetry.
The five piece master ensuite boasts an expansive eight and a half foot custom vanity. The luxury of double sinks and an integrated central make-up station are not forgotten. Storage is not an issue. Lay back and enjoy your Whirlpool tub.
Three large bedrooms with spacious windows and double closets are also on this level. A nice-sized three-piece tiled family bathroom is located just off the landing.
The luxury of a second floor laundry room was not overlooked. This room features a skylight and built-in custom cabinetry. The newer front loading washer and dryer are included. A sewing, craft room, nursery or perhaps a computer room is located to the right of the staircase.
Down to the basement level through the French door at the main entry and you will find a large daylight games/rec room and a half bath.
Every man's dream is a spacious heated garage and you'll certainly find that here! A large workshop features a covered storage area that will fit a full nine foot trailer. A door system from this workshop opens directly to the oversized, heated, fully insulated double car plus garage!
A garden shed/playhouse in the fully fenced back garden has the same charm as the main house. This space is wonderful for young children for play or to contain your furry family members.
The professionally landscaped surroundings are a perfect setting for this lovely family home. Large birch and maple trees give plenty of protection from the heat of the summer sun and allow access to all the winter views in the colder season.
