Markham Custom Home
Basement 1086 sq.ft. | Ground 1641 sq.ft. | Second 1249 sq.ft.
The existing split-level home was relevelled so that the floor plates were flush on each floor to create more cohesive and functional spaces throughout. The basement holds a rec room with a wet bar along with a powder room off a walk-out basement stairs that doubles as a changeroom for the backyard pool. There’s also a guest bedroom with a private ensuite and a mechanical room large enough to support storage space. The ground floor foyer features a zen garden upon entry with a cozy living room off to the side. A 3-sided fireplace divides the living room from the dining area which opens onto the kitchen and family room. The kitchen cabinetry extends all the way through the dining area and has a large island overlooking the family room. The stairs separate the powder room from the rest of the space and connect to a sunken mudroom which accesses the 2-car garage. A sunroom off the kitchen creates a flex space to be used as a breakfast area, study nook, or lounge space and overlooks the backyard pool. The second floor has an expansive primary retreat which features a vaulted ceiling and fireplace. The large walk-in closet and 5-piece ensuite complete the primary retreat. An oversized skylight floods the stairwell with natural light and a vaulted ceiling carries throughout the hallway. There’s an additional 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms along with a laundry room and linen closet to finish off the second floor. The exterior is a modern take on the Neoclassical style as the front facade is clad in limestone with precast column and trim detailing. The oversized windows on the front and rear ensure a lot of daylight will make its way into the house throughout the day. The sides and rear carry through similar trim detailing while the sunroom is a bold modern extension clad in black aluminum. The backyard features a swimming pool with a rock waterfall, a hot tub, outdoor dining and lounge space along with a pergola that holds an outdoor kitchen, bar, and seating area.
