Features Located in the Ancaster Heights neighbourhood and just a short hike away from Tiffany Falls, this two-storey home is one of just two properties in the area that is listed for more than $3.5 million.
Nestled on Montgomery Drive, this six-bedroom, five-bathroom home boasts more than 4,000 square feet of living space and a stunning view from the escarpment," said Stella McCollum, a broker with Sotheby's International Realty.
All you're seeing are the tips of the trees and there are no neighbours behind you," she said. Very few people have that kind of Southern California-type view."
The main floor of the home has a mud room with storage, a foyer with oversized windows as well as an open-concept living space that opens to the eat-in kitchen with floor-to-ceiling cupboards that can be accessed with a gliding ladder.
Upstairs, there are four large bedrooms - including the primary suite - as well as three bathrooms.
McCollum said the home, which was custom built by the owners, has been finished with high-end appliances, engineered hardwood flooring, quartz countertops and textured wall finishings such as cork and leather.
In the backyard, there is a large, covered deck with terrazzo-patterned flooring, built-in heaters, a chef-grade barbecue as well as a saltwater pool with a padded liner and a cabana that features a powder room and a heated, outdoor shower.
It's your Hollywood Hills-style backyard," said McCollum.
Downstairs, there are two bedrooms, a bathroom, a family room as well as an exercise room. With a private entrance, the space could be used for guests or extended family, noted McCollum.
McCollum said the home could be ideal for a family that loves to entertain and enjoy time outdoors.
Why is it priced this way? McCollum said the price of the home was determined by the current state of the market as well as comparables in the area. She pointed to a similar home on Sulphur Springs Road that sold for $3.9 million this past June.
