Set within a peaceful cul-de-sac on one of Bracebridge's most admired streets, this remarkable 5,000+ sq. ft. residence carries the presence of an estate home w/ the rare ease of an in-town address. Where life gives you room to live, gather, celebrate, & grow! The setting leaves an immediate impression. Inside, grand scale spaces meet everyday warmth. A beautifully curved staircase sets the tone, while the semi-open layout offers an easy balance of connection & privacy. The kitchen is the heart of the home w/ upgraded countertops, a large island, gas range, & inviting eat-in area. Nearby, a warm sitting room offers a quieter kind of luxury: a gas fireplace, a window seat, & the perfect excuse to stay awhile. The dining room offers welcome versatility, ready for family dinners & full holiday tables. Then you discover the living room - the kind of space where a classic family film could unfold. Anchored by a wood-burning fireplace & generous enough for a grand piano, this is where cousins gather around the fire, movie nights become traditions, & every seat seems to be someone's favourite! The Muskoka room connects it all - living room, sitting area, & backyard. Outside, a flagstone pathway leads to evenings around the firepit, relaxing in the hot tub beneath the pergola, & a canopy of lights that keeps the mood long after sunset. Back inside, the layout continues to deliver. Adjacent the kitchen, you'll find laundry, a 2PC powder room, & ample storage. Upstairs, the primary bedroom offers two closets & a 4-piece ensuite, while three guest bedrooms & a 4PC bath create generous space for family and guests. The walkout lower level offers plenty of room to adapt, but the real surprise awaits above the 2-bay garage. Finished, heated, & independent, this private retreat adds valuable flexibility w/ a full bathroom, two bedrooms/office space, & endless possibilities. A rare combination of scale, setting, & soul - this is a home that leaves a meaningful impression. (id:2471)
