8 CYRIL RICHARDSON COURT

Set among mature trees on a quiet court across from a pond, this home offers 5 bedrooms, 5 baths and over 3500 sq ft of finished living space across three levels, including a legal walkout apartment. Upstairs are three oversized bedrooms, each with its own private ensuite: a four-bedroom footprint given to three. Two bedrooms in the professionally finished suite below are ideal for in-laws or nanny, teen hangout, adult kids or rental income.

The main floor's sunny, south-facing entry opens to soaring 9' ceilings, and a centre hall flanked by a living/dining room with hardwood floors, a high-efficiency European 3-sided glass wood stove and a light-filled private office with pond views. Perfect for entertaining, the chef-designed kitchen with granite countertops, high-end 6-burner Blue Star range, dedicated prep counter and a generous eating area is open to the family room with gas fireplace and built-in shelving and walks out to a large composite deck with natural gas hook-up and stairs to the secluded patio below. Upstairs, the private primary offers a spa-like 5-pc bath with soaker tub, oversized glass shower and dual vanities, plus twin customized walk-in closets.

The convenient, second-floor laundry is spacious enough to be an additional office or hobby room. Downstairs the legal 2-bedroom apartment offers a separate entrance, fireproofing, noise baffles, its own kitchen and laundry, and heated tile floors (all basement heating is supplementary offering individual control). An additional workroom, storage and cold room, plus an insulated 2-car garage with driveway parking for 4 more round out the practical comfort of the home.

Wrought-iron fencing rings the pie shaped low-maintenance lot, and the quiet court doubles as play space out front. Built as an Energy Star home, it is an easy walk or bike to the Fields of Uxbridge, the TransCanada Trail, and downtown's restaurants, shops, farmers market and theatres. School buses are at the corner.
