Welcome to 1859 Parkside Drive, a beautiful 3+1 bedroom brick home with four washrooms nestled within a family-minded neighbourhood of Pickering’s highly desirable Amberlea community.
This home features a double car garage; a flagstone walkway to the front entrance; and a nicely sized fenced backyard that has a storage shed, a raised deck covers a stone patio below, and which is surrounded by mature trees for shade and privacy.
With generously sized principal rooms, the elegantly appointed main level showcases pot lighting, crown moldings, upgraded baseboards, and newly updated (and upgraded) tiled flooring throughout much of its space - while dark hardwood flooring finishes the living and family rooms. This level also features a double coat closet with opaque panelled sliding doors, two walk-outs onto the raised deck, and a broom closet - and down a short hallway off the kitchen is a powder room having a vanity with a vessel basin; a laundry room complete with washer, dryer a stainless steel sink, cabinetry storage, and a secondary side entrance into the home; as well as access to the double car garage.
The living room has an oversized southwesterly-facing bay window - and between this and the adjacent family room is an arched entryway with accent decor columns and lighting - the family room featuring a wood-burning brick fireplace, and one of the two walk-outs onto the deck.
The beautiful dining room is illuminated by an elegant chandelier accented with a medallion - its bay window allowing for views of the backyard greenery.
The stunning gourmet kitchen showcases dark cabinetry with crown molding and extended height uppers; an island with seating, contemporary pendant light, and a stainless steel double sink; stone counters, and a back splash of diamond-shaped tiles; as well as a stainless steel French door fridge, oven with gas cooktop, and dishwasher - this space having the second walk-out onto the backyard deck.
The hardwood staircase to the upper level has wrought iron pickets and an elegant chandelier above it - the upper level showcasing hardwood flooring throughout, crown moldings in the hallway, three bedrooms, and two washrooms.
The comfortably sized second and third bedrooms both have large windows and double closets, and a linen closet is found just outside the main 4-pc washroom - which features upgraded floor tiles; a subway-tiled bath/shower area with a mosaic accent border; and a vanity with countertop basin.
The master suite is very generously sized, can easily accommodate a sitting area, and has three northeasterly-facing windows along its wall that offer views of the backyard tree canopy. This bedroom has a wall-to-wall closet with opaque-panelled doors, plus two double closets - and its 3-pc ensuite washroom showcases upgraded tiles finishing its floor and an oversized shower area with a partial glass wall, as well as a contemporary vanity with a stone counter and glass vessel basin.
A French off the kitchen opens to a carpeted staircase leading to the finished lower level, and off the lower landing are two storage areas, plus a double closet - the remainder of the level ideal as an in-law suite.
Much of the suite has pot lighting and wide plank vinyl flooring - and features a spacious bedroom with a double closet; a 3-pc washroom with a ceramic-tiled glass shower, and a vanity with countertop basin; and a living room with a wood-burning brick fireplace, as well as a garden door walk-out to the backyard, which is the entrance into the suite, as well.
A nicely sized dining room bridges the space between the living room and the kitchen - with the kitchen itself featuring a peninsula for added storage and counter space, ceramic flooring (which is continued down a short hall and into the washroom), stone counters, a stone-and glass mosaic-tiled back splash, an oversized above grade window, ample cabinetry storage, as well as a stainless steel double sink, oven, and fridge with bottom mount freezer.
This home is within the catchment areas of Gandatsetiagon and Frenchman’s Bay (Fr. Imm) Public Schools; St. Elizabeth Seton and St. Monica (Fr. Imm) Catholic Elementary Schools; Dunbarton High School (Fr. Imm); and St. Mary Catholic Secondary School (Fr. Imm).
