9 Antrim Court, Caledon East

One must take their time to take in the simple pleasures of this home, from the interlocking stone front walkway and perennial gardens, to the  9-foot ceilings throughout, gorgeous pine plank flooring, some measuring 18″ in width, high baseboards, solid wood doors, trims and crown mouldings.  There is even a laundry shute!! 

The front walkway has been landscaped with a cobblestone effect which suits the character of the home and adds to its curb appeal.

The Foyer has wood flooring and a generous closet. 

Currently used as the Dining Room, there are wood floors, crown mouldings, a bay window and wainscoting.

There is a main floor office with wood floors located off of the Foyer.

Central to the home is the renovated Kitchen which has a Viking 48 inch, 6-burner professional gas stove with griddle and dual ovens, tin ceiling, exposed wooden beams, a centre island with storage and breakfast bar, stone backsplash, a unique copper farmer’s sink, and the focal point, an Elmira sweetheart, wood-burning cook-stove.

 

A  garden door walks out onto the interlocking stone patio and the fenced backyard wonderland which has badminton, volleyball and tetherball activities, raised garden beds with a peach tree, a gorgeous stacked-stone wall with mature rhubarb and giant hostas.

Towering mature trees and gorgeous gardens on a private south-facing backyard make for a private oasis with over $80,000 spent in professionally landscaped patios and walkways to create the perfect outdoor space, including the addition of a 180,000 BTU outdoor fire pit — all while keeping the charming character of the home.

A small Workout Room has other potential uses such as an additional pantry area, mud room, or for storage.

Upstairs is the generously sized Master Bedroom which overlooks the backyard and has a vaulted ceiling, wood burning fireplace, his and hers closets, wide-plank flooring, plus a 3-piece ensuite with slate flooring.
