Cross Streets: King street/Lake Street. ** Directions: King Street to First Street. Some homes are impressive. Others are completely unexpected!! Welcome to 15 First Street South, an extensively renovated and substantially expanded custom home tucked into the mature, peaceful setting of Olde Stoney Creek near the Niagara Escarpment. Offering approximately 3000 sq. ft. of usable living space based on current working measurements, this remarkable home blends warmth, craftsmanship and modern functionality. At its heart is a spectacular great room with soaring vaulted ceilings, exposed spruce beams, gas fireplace and a dramatic wall of windows filling the space with natural light. Canadian-made hickory hardwood, an open-riser staircase, skylight and custom library add character throughout. The adjoining chef-inspired kitchen features extensive Canadian maple cabinetry, heated floors, stone counters, professional Lacanche range with dual ovens, copper farmhouse sink, Miele dishwasher and built-in GE refrigerator with integrated Keurig, while a walk-through butler's pantry provides exceptional additional storage. The primary suite is a true retreat with custom built-ins, separate his-and-hers fitted closets and a spa-inspired ensuite featuring heated slate floors, volcanic limestone soaker tub, oversized rain shower, towel warmer, Japanese smart toilet and heated anti-fog mirror. With four bedrooms, exceptional storage, an attached double garage and a major permitted two-storey addition of approximately 1,339 sq. ft., the home offers space for both everyday living and entertaining. Outside, a composite deck flows into a flagstone courtyard garden surrounded by mature trees, perennial gardens and the tranquility of the escarpment. All this just steps from the shops, restaurants and charm of Olde Stoney Creek. Close to everything, yet when you come home, it feels a world away!! (id:27476)
