Courtice Durham L1E 2K4

A stunning oasis on 1.3 acres just steps from the Courtice retail & business corridor, backing on a beautiful, forested ravine. Spacious, custom built, brick bungalow with fully developed basement and almost 4500 sq ft of total living space. At the heart of the main floor is the open and expansive living room with vaulted ceilings and soaring gas fireplace, framed by oversize picture windows and the sunroom entry doors. The chef's kitchen overlooks the living room and features an impressive U-shaped island, European cabinets with granite counters, and premium appliances anchored by a JennAir 6-burner gas range. Meals are served either in the kitchen breakfast area (with its own built-in cabinets) or at the island counter; and, sometimes, in a private exquisite dining room, with room for everyone and bursting with character. A cosy family room overlooks the living room and there's also a huge pantry room adjacent to the kitchen with tons of built-in cabinets, shelves and drawers as well a contemporary upright freezer. The epic primary suite boasts a 5-piece ensuite bath, 2-sided gas fireplace and super-efficient PAX wardrobe systems. Walk out directly to the balcony, then down a few steps to the 8-seater Hydropool hot tub platform. Two more spacious bedrooms, full bath and a bright, airy sun room round out the main floor living space. The walkout basement has two sections: the south half is designed to complement the main floor space, with rec room/theatre, games room, exercise room with 3-piece bath, extra bedroom and office. The north half is a self-contained family suite with separate entrance, living room with fireplace, bedroom, kitchen, 3-piece bath and laundry. Oversize 2.5 garage with custom designer epoxy floor is nearly 600 sq ft with ample space for cars, toys and workshop or as a well-appointed man-cave. Exterior includes 10-car driveway; massive front verandah; storage building 10' by 20'; and a huge yard with gardens, walkways and tree buffers.
