Welcome to 1856 Woodview Avenue, a beautiful 4+1 bedroom executive home with five washrooms situated on one of the most prestigious streets within Pickering’s upscale Highbush neighbourhood.
Leading to the east-facing front terrace and to a backyard gate are stone walkways on either side of the driveway – and beyond the double door entry of the arched portico is a main level with a wonderful open-themed layout that is a delight for entertaining.
Ceramic flooring flows throughout the reception hall and into the kitchen area – while gleaming Brazilian cherry hardwood flooring is showcased in the living, dining, and family rooms. The east-facing windows of the living room have light-diffusing zebra blinds – which are showcased on most of the main level windows – with this lovely entertaining space additionally featuring decorative crown moldings and richly stained French doors with its entry off the foyer.
The formal dining room exudes elegance, and is illuminated by an exquisite chandelier with a medallion that is suspended from a tray ceiling – its drop-down border showcasing a delicate papered design embellished with striking corner accents and the finishing touch of crown moldings. A golden colour palette complements the ceiling border, and the room is finished with decorative accents that includes wainscoting, as well as richly stained interior trims and French door entries from the foyer and from the kitchen.
Marble tiles laid in a herringbone design add a beautiful inlay accent to the flooring, and the family room – like the living room – is finished with decorative crown moldings, and also features the warmth of a gas fireplace surrounded with a light- and dark-coloured stone facade.
The stunning modern kitchen area showcases crown moldings, and the sleekness of a stainless steel double under mount sink, built-in microwave and dishwasher, oven with smooth surface cooktop, and a side-by-side fridge freezer – while the neutral multi tones of a mosaic-tiled back splash create a striking contrast between the creaminess of quartz countertops with peninsula seating, and the white gloss veneer finish of cabinetry that is dressed with upgraded hardware and has the added storage of a stand-alone wall pantry.
The kitchen, breakfast area, and family room windows have west-facing exposures with backyard views – and the backyard is low-maintenance and fenced with lawn space for play or gardening, and recently re-newed with a large composite deck, as well as an equally large-sized stone patio with a walkway from the front yard gate, creating a superb outdoor entertaining area.
Also showcased throughout the main level are gorgeous contemporary crystal light fixtures, and this level additionally features a side hall off the foyer where you find a coat closet; a sunken laundry room; as well as a powder room.
Curving gracefully to the upper level is a beautifully stained oak hardwood staircase, and this level showcases Brazilian cherry hardwood flooring throughout, pot lighting and a chandelier brightening the hallway, space for a sitting area or computer deck off the staircase landing, as well as four bright bedrooms and three washrooms.
The second bedroom has a double closet, and access to a 4-pc Jack-and-Jill washroom – with this washroom shared with the third bedroom, which also has a double closet. Just outside this bedroom is a linen closet; and down the hall is the 4-pc common-use washroom – and the fourth bedroom, which has two double closets.
The very generously sized master bedroom has a double door entry, and along its west wall are four windows flooding natural light into this private retreat. Also featuring a walk-in closet, the bedroom is complete with a very spacious 4-pc ensuite washroom showcasing a tiled shower area with glass door; a soaker tub with ceramic finishes and two windows above it; a large L-shaped vanity with countertop basin; pot lighting; as well as wainscoting and mirrors finished with antiqued trims.
The fully developed lower level offers amazing space for family enjoyment and entertaining – yet also has potential for full conversion into an in-law suite. Showcasing high-quality laminate flooring and pot lighting throughout – this level also features a beautifully appointed washroom; a cold room just steps from this home’s second kitchen – which includes stainless steel appliances; and a huge recreation area that can easily accommodate the addition of a very spacious bedroom.
This home is also just a short drive to the Pickering Town Centre Mall, the GO Station, and has easy access to Hwy 401 – as well as being close to the shopping, entertainment, and waterfront enjoyment of Pickering’s beautiful Frenchman’s Bay community along Lake Ontario.
