Welcome to 1286 Ilona Park Road, a wonderful 3+2 bedroom semi-detached bungalow with three washrooms situated in south Pickering’s sought-after Bay Ridges community, just minutes from the city’s exceptional waterfront.
With a sun-washed south-facing front exposure, additional exposures on its east and north sides, as well as good-sized windows in the principal rooms and the bedrooms – this home enjoys an abundance of natural light, and pot lighting throughout the main level further enhances its interior brightness.
Directly off the elegantly combined living and dining rooms are oversized sliding glass doors that open to a sunroom with California shutters on its windows – the sunroom having a walk-out onto the front yard’s south-facing deck, making it an ideal space to enjoy summertime sun or for patio gardening – and the glass doors also allow bright light to spill into this gorgeous family and entertaining space. An open-themed layout with a neutral decor accentuates the spaciousness of this room, which also showcases the recent upgrade of wide plank engineered hardwood flooring.
The galley-style kitchen and its breakfast area feature ceramic flooring and upgraded light fixtures, and the kitchen has been upgraded with quartz counters, a stainless steel oven with gas cooktop, as well as richly hued wood cabinetry with extended height uppers that provides ample storage. This beautiful meal prep space also features a fridge, dishwasher, and built-in stainless steel microwave; back splashes with mosaic accent borders; as well as a stainless steel double under mount sink – and also benefits from the bright light streaming through a floor-to-ceiling window in the south-facing foyer, with this space featuring ceramic flooring, an alcove, and a double coat closet.
The renovated common-use 3-pc washroom showcases upgraded tiled finishes; a corner shower with rounded glass enclosure and rainfall shower head; as well as a vanity upgraded with a quartz counter – and the hardwood flooring seen in the living and dining rooms is also showcased in the bedrooms and the hallway leading to them.
A pantry closet and a linen closet are also found off this hallway – and both the second and third bedrooms, which are bright and spacious, have double closets for ample storage.
The master bedroom overlooks the backyard, with this graciously sized personal space additionally featuring a walk-in closet, as well as a renovated ensuite washroom with a bath and shower combo, as well as tiled finishes throughout.
The finished lower level has a separate side door entrance, with this level well-suited for additional household living space, or as an in-law suite for extended families. Off the ceramic-tiled landing is a combined furnace, storage, and laundry room with a front load washer and dryer – plus another storage area under the staircase – and there’s also a storage closet off the ceramic-tiled hallway. The ceramics are continued into the kitchen – which is open to a recreation space with new vinyl plank flooring – and the kitchen features ample cabinetry storage, as well as a stainless steel sink, fridge, and stove. Both bedrooms are very generous in their size, and are finished with new vinyl plank flooring, as well – the first bedroom also having a French door opening to the recreation area. This level also has oversized basement windows, and is complete with a recently renovated 3-pc washroom featuring tiled finishes throughout, a space-saving vanity, and a walk-in shower area – and other great features of this home include an owned tankless water heater; a fully fenced backyard with lots of play and gardening space; and with no sidewalk on this side of the street, the driveway offers parking for up to three vehicles.
A short walk to the neighbourhood public school – which is to be re-named Biidassige (bee-das-gay) Mandamin Public School – as well as local restaurants, a gas station, a convenience store, public transit, as well as the iconic Big M burger joint – this home is also walking distance to the Pickering Town Centre Mall and the GO Station, has easy access to Hwy 401 – and is also a short walk to the shopping, entertainment, and waterfront enjoyment of Pickering’s beautiful Frenchman’s Bay community along Lake Ontario.
