Buyers with an appreciation for nature and privacy were fans of this four-bedroom house backing onto a ravine system in North York, says agent Bill Thom.
"It has a very unique setting with gorgeous tableland ravine views," he says. "And, the house is situated on a cul-de-sac, so it's quiet in the front and quiet in the back."
In addition, the grounds beneath the 1970s house slopes toward the rear, which allows for a walkout from the lower level recreation room. That room also has a wet bar, a stone fireplace and a deck off the main floor living room.
"It's very bright at the back," says Mr. Thom.
Rounding out the basement is a games room, nanny's quarters and one of two powder rooms, plus a separate entrance.
The core entertaining areas are on the main level, where there is a den, dining room and family room, as well as an eat-in kitchen with a pantry.
Also on this floor is a laundry room and a two-storey foyer with a double door entrance, granite floors and circular oak staircase to the bedrooms upstairs.
The master suite contains a walk-in closet and one of two full bathrooms, while another bedroom has a walk-in closet and access to a deck above the double garage.
"It has all the features that a big new home would have," adds Mr. Thom.
Hardwood floors hidden beneath broadloom throughout and security and central vacuum systems are other highlights.
