Welcome to 291 Starview court, a stunning 4+1 bedroom brick home with four washrooms situated within the highly sought-after Highbush neighbourhood of west Pickering.
With no sidewalk, the driveway has four vehicle parking – in addition to a double car garage; manicured hedges surround a huge stone front terrace, and the covered double front entrance has decorative glass inserts. There is a stone walkway on the west side of the home to the backyard, which features both wood and chainlink fencing, while hedges and mature trees along the fence line provide privacy and greenery. The backyard also showcases an in-ground pool with an armour stone waterfall surrounded by a stone interlocking deck and patio, a storage shed, a hot tub, and a large wood deck with built-in seating that is also partially covered by a pergola.
The main level showcases hardwood flooring; elegant light fixtures, chandeliers, and pot lighting; large windows with light-diffusing zebra (or zebra-style) blinds; as well as upgraded baseboards and trims – with both the formal entertaining spaces of the living and dining rooms having decor columns gracing their entryways, and the finishing touch of deep crown moldings.
Bay windows can be seen in the dining room, as well as the den – its bay window trimmed with oak hardwood, and this room also has a French door entry.
The family room has one of two walk-outs onto the backyard deck, and additionally features crown moldings as well as the warmth of a wood burning brick fireplace – and a wall cut-out accented with decor columns and finished with a granite ledge separates this room (while maintaining an openness) from the kitchen and its breakfast area, which has the main walk-out to the backyard.
A stunning showpiece of design and functionality, the kitchen’s wood cabinetry has extended height molded uppers, valance lighting, and tons of storage – including pantry pull-outs next to the built-in appliances, as well as added storage cabinets and shelves in the breakfast area. The fridge and its two freezer drawers are panelled to blend with the cabinets – and built-in stainless steel high-end appliances include a smooth cooktop, wall oven, microwave, warming drawer and a double dish drawer dishwasher – while completing this fantastic work space are granite counters, a tumbled marble back splash, and a stainless steel double sink.
The main level additionally features ceramic flooring throughout a side hall with a mirrored door coat closet; in a powder room with a pedestal sink; and in a laundry room with access to the yards and the garage, cabinetry storage, as well as a front load washer and dryer with a granite folding counter and a stainless steel sink – while to the upper and lower levels are curved oak hardwood staircases and railing.
The upper level features broadloom throughout, two linen closets, four bedrooms, and two washrooms, as well as a huge second storey window with a decorative glass insert above the foyer.
The fourth bedroom features a mirrored door closet, crown moldings, and a contemporary light fixture; the third bedroom has a double closet; while the second bedroom showcases wall-to-wall built-in closet storage with organizers and mirrored doors – with these bedrooms sharing the common-use 4-pc washroom.
The very generously sized south-facing master suite overlooks the backyard, with this serene personal space showcasing a double door entry, crown moldings, a walk-in closet with organizers, as well as a separate (and graciously sized) sitting area. Its ensuite washroom features a wood vanity with double basins; a soaker tub with ceramic surround; and a shower area with stone flooring, a glass door, and a shower seat.
The fully developed lower level showcases pot and sconce lighting, as well as laminate flooring and broadloom – and cleverly integrated with or behind the panelled walls (wherever you see door or drawer hardware) is unbelievable storage for the home.
The main recreation area features a wet bar with a stainless steel double sink, glass shelves, and a wine rack; a built-in entertainment unit in the media room, as a well as a gas fireplace shared with the games area; and a built-in office area. This level also has a large bedroom with two built-in double closets; and a 3-pc washroom with ceramic finishes, a corner glass shower, and a wood vanity with a built-in toiletry cabinet.
Nearby amenities include the walking and hiking trails within the Altona Forest and Rouge National Urban Park; the Amberlea Shopping Plaza; plus a wide variety of shops, services, and restaurants along Kinston Road – while the Pickering Town Centre Mall, the Petticoat Creek Conservation Area, the GO Station, access to Hwy 401, as well as Pickering’s beaches, marina, and waterfront parks along Lake Ontario are all just short drives away.
