N
estled in a wooded setting in a prestigious
enclave of homes in
Midhurst, not far from Barrie, this custom home is a true
showpiece. The 5,413-squarefoot abode was built about 11
years ago and has luxurious
upgrades, stylish finishes, high
ceilings and upgraded windows, says listing agent Anne
Chilton of ReMax Chay Realty.
A circular driveway leads
along the elegantly landscaped,
four-plus-acre property to the
covered front porch. Double
doors open to reveal a dramatic
foyer and a soaring space with a
hand-crafted wood staircase that
winds its way to the third floor.
“A custom light fixture by local artisan Rene-Paul Petit-Jean
along with large windows on
the upper level illuminates the
space,” says Chilton, who has
listed the property with Lance
Chilton.
The majestic great room has
three walls of windows, a barrel ceiling that’s more than 20
feet high and a walkout to a
screened porch. Crown mouldings and charming wall sconces
make the room warm and welcoming, she says.
Meals for a crowd are a breeze
in the fully equipped kitchen,
which has two refrigerators, a
gas range and two ovens. A walkout leads to a covered patio for
summertime dining. The eat-in
kitchen also has cream-coloured
cabinets, a built-in wine rack and
crown and dentil mouldings. The
island includes a breakfast bar, a
prep sink and granite counters.
The living room, with its hardwood floors, large windows and
surround sound, is an inviting
family space for gatherings large
and small. The separate dining
room is wrapped in windows. An
office, two powder rooms and a
second mud room/entry are also
on the main floor.
A separate soundproofed
wing contains four bedrooms, a
five-piece bathroom and a convenient laundry chute.
The third level has two bedrooms with vaulted ceilings. It
also has a loft space.
The lower-level family room is
perfect for a home theatre. Large
recreation and games rooms offer additional informal entertaining space. There’s garage parking
for five cars.
Designed for relaxing or partying, the private backyard has a
saltwater pool and a cabana.
