Welcome to 8 Hunter Drive, a very spacious and naturally bright 4+1 bedroom home with four washrooms situated within the family-minded Hermitage neighbourhood of Central West Ajax.
Featuring a double car garage, a stone walkway and raised garden beds, as well as an enclosed entrance with a transom and glass-paneled front door – the interior entrance into the ceramic-tiled foyer has a beveled glass French door – and throughout the main and upper levels is a soft neutral decor, while a multitude of oversized windows allow for an abundance of natural light that enhances the interior spaciousness of the home.
Open to each other, the formal entertaining spaces of the living and dining rooms are bathed in light through windows with south- and north-easterly exposures. Exuding classic elegance, both rooms have French door entries off the reception foyer and hall; gleaming oak hardwood flooring adds rich warmth; while the dining room has the ambient illumination of a contemporary light fixture.
The beautiful hardwood flooring also flows throughout the main hall, and into a warm and inviting family room which has one of two sliding door walk-outs onto the backyard deck, as well as the coziness of a gas fireplace surrounded by a floor-to-ceiling brick mantle – and a half wall separates this gathering space from the adjacent kitchen while maintaining an openness between these two rooms.
The kitchen and its breakfast area are very generously sized, offering both exceptional culinary work space, as well as a place for family and friends to eat and mingle. Incredibly bright, the kitchen showcases both track and pot lighting; while its wood cabinetry – which has impressive storage that includes a huge pantry – has been updated with a white-washed finish and upgraded hardware. The dishwasher, double under mount sink, range hood, oven with gas cooktop, and French door fridge incorporate the modern sleekness of stainless steel; a centre island provides added counter work space; and light-coloured quartz counters with peninsula seating complement the cabinetry.
Above the breakfast area is a contemporary light fixture, and from here is the other sliding door walk-out onto the backyard’s raised deck – which offers ample outdoor entertaining space and has stairs down to the fenced-in yard, with both the deck and yard enjoying the privacy offered by the year-round majestic beauty of evergreen trees just beyond the fence-line.
Off the foyer – and completing the main level – is a double coat closet; access to the garage; a laundry room; as well as a powder room – and a curved oak hardwood staircase carries to the upper level, which showcases hardwood flooring throughout, four naturally bright bedrooms, two washrooms, and a linen closet just off the upper landing.
The fourth bedroom has a turret wall and is filled with light through three windows with northeasterly exposures – and directly across from this bedroom is the main 4-pc washroom, which features a tiled floor and bath area; a vanity with double basins, as well as a storage closet that has the convenience of a laundry chute. Both the second and third bedrooms have double closets, and enjoy ample natural light through windows with northwesterly and southeasterly exposures, respectively.
Showcasing a double door entry, a ceiling fan light, and a large walk-in closet – the impressively sized master suite has a turret wall with three southwest-facing windows that is an ideal space for a sitting area, and the bedroom can also easily accommodate a computer desk. The ensuite washroom has a relaxing, spa-like aura – and showcases tiled finishes throughout; a walk-in shower area and a separate soaker tub with a window above it; a vanity with double basins; as well as the privacy of a water closet.
A French door opens to a hardwood staircase leading to the lower level, which is carpeted and brightened with pot lighting; has two distinct recreation areas; and which also offers ample storage space. This level also features a bonus room with a double closet; a 3-pc washroom; as well as a bar area. A set of French doors opens to the second recreation area – which itself has two distinct spaces – and these two rooms have potential as a very generously sized bedroom with its own sitting and media room.
This home is minutes to the restaurants and boutique shops within historic Pickering Village, and enjoys proximity to many of Ajax’s exceptional amenities – such as indoor and outdoor sports and fitness facilities, recreational and community centres, the Durham Centre Shopping Mall, Lakeridge Health Ajax Pickering Hospital, the GO Station, as well as quick access to Hwy 401 – and Ajax’s beautiful Waterfront Park with its over seven kilometres of trails along Lake Ontario is also a short drive away.
