Description
Spectacular “Pinehill” was custom-built in 1984 to emulate a century home featuring architectural salvage such as keystones, window ledges, a brick style from the 1800’s, period light fixtures, and extensive use of cherry wood trim. There is even a finished widow’s walk.
Situated on a stunning 2.25-acre property surrounded by Conservation land only minutes from the quaint downtown areas of both Dundas or Ancaster, or just a short drive to downtown Hamilton, #403 highway access, or a comfortable bike ride to McMaster University/GO bus.
The Dundas Valley Trail Centre, a replica Victorian Train Station is less than a ten minute walk on the adjacent rail trail. Its 40 km trail system intersects with three major trails – The Main Loop, The Bruce Trail and 32 km Hamilton to Brantford Rail Trail.
This stunning home has more than 3000 sq ft plus a finished basement. The main level features a grand two-storey entrance hall leading into an office/library with custom built-ins, or into the formal living and dining rooms. There is an updated eat-in kitchen with traditional glass front hutch, soft close cabinetry, walk-in pantry, granite countertop, and a wood burning fireplace. The adjacent two storey family room with gas fireplace and upper lofts leads to the cozy sunroom with access directly to the totally private rear yard, patio and hot tub area. There is also a powder room complete with authentic pull chain toilet and a quaint breezeway seating area that accesses the oversize double garage with basement entry.
The upper level with loft overlooking the family room has a gorgeous master retreat consisting of a three-piece ensuite, walk-in closet, private outside balcony overlooking the forest, and a juliette inside balcony overlooking the family room. There are two antique cast iron fireplaces and access to the authentic widow’s walk. There are two more spacious bedrooms, a luxurious 4-piece main bath with glass shower and claw tub, a full-sized laundry area and a sizeable unfinished space over the double garage that could be developed for a variety of uses.
The lower level has a wonderful recreation space, a second full kitchen, a gym area or basement bedroom, dedicated storage room, and a large workshop with a walk up to the garage.
If you are seeking a tranquil yet active lifestyle this is an incredibly unique opportunity to live a country life only minutes from the city!
