From the moment you enter, the foyer reveals the homes narrative: a seamless dialogue between architecture and nature. Towering windows in the living room frame a canopy of mature trees, dissolving the boundaries between indoors and out.The kitchen is a chefs sanctuary, anchored by an oak island, marble countertops, and integrated appliances. A discreet, well-appointed servery hides just beyond, while the adjacent formal dining room invites candlelit evenings and intimate gatherings. A covered deck, complete with outdoor fireplace, extends the living space, while the organized mudroom and powder room round out the main levels composition.Upstairs, the primary suite is a private retreat of understated opulence, offering dual walk-in closets and a spa-like ensuite swathed in natural stone. Down the hall, three additional bedrooms each boast their own walk-in closets and ensuite or Jack-and-Jill bathrooms.The walk-out lower level is conceived for whole-home living: a gym, office, guest bedroom, and entertaining area with gas fireplace and wet bar open directly to the outdoors. Here, a covered terrace spills onto the backyards crown jewela heated saltwater pool framed by lush landscaping for ultimate privacy.Every detail has been considered: 10ft. ceilings on the main floor, 9ft. ceilings above and below, heated tile floors, three fireplaces, a three-car tandem garage, central vacuum, irrigation, and a smart-home lighting system.Set within walking distance to Downtown Oakville, moments from top public and private schools, this home is a sanctuary for those who value architecture that whispers its luxury rather than shouts it.
