A beautiful 3+1 bedroom home with three washrooms nestled on an immaculately maintained corner property within the historic Pickering Village neighbourhood of Central West Ajax, welcome to 10 George Jones Street.
A showpiece of outstanding curb appeal – river rock garden beds in the front and side yards of the home are filled with lush perennials, evergreens, and shrubs; while majestic evergreen and seasonal shade trees surround the property. Complimenting the stone exterior of the home is an extensive use of stone landscaping front and back – including a walkway to the backyard, and a front walkway to the covered front entrance.
Showcasing richly hued hardwood flooring throughout much of the main level – the entrance foyer offers a befitting welcome into the home, giving a sense of the home’s original character – as does the vintage-style light fixture here and in the living room and kitchen, the delicate arched entry between the kitchen and dining room, as well as the coved ceilings in these three main entertaining spaces.
The living and dining rooms are fully open to each other, and bask in the warmth of a gas fireplace. Well-placed windows here, and throughout the rest of this and the upper level, allow for abundant natural brightness – with most of the windows in this home also having California shutters.
Recently renovated, the stunning custom kitchen showcases an open and functional work space, pairing warm wood finishes with modern design elements. Black matte base cabinets are topped with the striking contrast of a light-coloured stone counter; the back splash is finished with black and white hexagon mosaic tiles; and in lieu of upper cabinets, reclaimed wood shelves provide added storage.
Above a stainless steel farmhouse sink overlooking the backyard is a bay window with custom window treatments; stainless steel appliances include a built-in dishwasher and microwave, French door fridge, and an oven with gas cooktop; the portable island has a wood counter with seating; while for extra storage, a black matte pantry finished with wood trims surrounds the fridge.
The den has storage areas and is a great space for use as a home office; there is another storage closet just outside the bedroom on this level, which itself has a good-sized closet – and is conveniently placed adjacent to a 3-pc washroom.
This multi-purpose space features pot lighting; a stacked front load washer and dryer; a coat and cubby storage nook; cabinetry storage; and a dog wash station.
A sunken landing off the mud room has the walk-out to the backyard – and a French door entry to the self-contained lower level.
Recently renovated, this level showcases vinyl planking flooring throughout the recreation area and the bedroom – the recreation space also featuring crown moldings with recessed lighting; an accent wall with a display ledge; as well as track lighting and a gas fireplace.
Tiled flooring finishes the kitchen and bathroom spaces – the kitchen also having a stacked front load washer and dryer, in addition to three appliances; quartz counters; and a tiled back splash – while the 3-pc washroom features a ceramic-tiled glass shower; as well as a vanity with a quartz counter and a subway-tiled back splash.
This level also has a large storage room; and its very spacious bedroom has a walk-in closet and sconce lighting.
A hardwood and wrought iron railing accompanies the carpeted staircase to the upper level – which features two bedrooms, a washroom, as well as cozy broadloom throughout the upper hall and the second bedroom.
Above the staircase’s mid-landing is a west-facing window with vintage leaded glass accent panels, and a modern metal chandelier – with three more similar chandeliers also in the master bedroom.
The master bedroom features hardwood flooring; a vaulted ceiling with cross beams and a fan; a walk-in closet with organizers; a built-in gas fireplace; two large windows; and a sitting area.
Detached from the home is a two car garage with loft storage, with a walkway leading to the low-maintenance backyard. Fully fenced, surrounded by mature trees, and professionally landscaped – the yard has multiple seating areas; interesting focal points; a patch of artificial turf; and a saltwater hot tub.
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.
