This beautifully presented 5 bedroom executive home is located on an enviably large private lot with commanding downtown views in the heart of desirable Upper Mount Royal. One is greeted by an impressive central atrium foyer with gleaming hardwood floors that leads to a sunny open plan family room with a built-in feature fireplace and picture windows that flood the room with light and showcase the elevated far reaching views. Across the hall is the living room, that's ideal for entertaining, which opens into the well proportioned dining room. This in turn leads to a beautiful handcrafted gourmet kitchen with granite countertops, high end appliances, large island with bar seating, an extensive pantry that is adjacent to the sunny breakfast nook. From there, step into the stunningly secluded west facing irrigated yard with its mature trees, a magnificent floodlit natural stone retaining wall, raised flower beds and a terraced area ideal for barbecuing, evening dining, or relaxing in your own oasis of tranquility. A wonderfully private study with extensive built-ins with views of the yard is perfect for those times you need to work from home. A well appointed laundry and powder room complete the main floor. An elegant staircase leads to the second floor which offers the expansive primary suite with a high trayed ceiling, a well finished walk-in closet, a spa inspired 5pc bathroom and your own balcony, which once again captures the now magnificent views of mature trees and rooftops, with downtown in the distance. Three further bedrooms all with large closets and a well appointed 4pc family bathroom complete the upper level. The fully developed walk-out basement offers a media room, recreation area, a 5th bedroom, wine room, 3pc bathroom, delightful views of the yard, ample storage and a large mudroom that leads to an oversized double attached garage.
