Welcome to 15 Second Street North, a beautiful 3+1 bedroom home with three washrooms nestled on an acre of property, and enjoying an idyllic cottage-like setting within Markham’s historic Unionville neighbourhood.
Located on a quiet cul-de-sac, this home features a circular driveway, as well as a single car garage; is surrounded by a lush tree canopy; and backs onto the green space of Austin Drive Park.
The stone front facade accentuates the quaint cottage-like aura of the home - and an interlocking walkway, garden beds, as well as a covered front porch with a tiled floor provide a charming entry into a naturally bright main level that has the additional brightness of pot lighting throughout. Polished floor tiles flow from the foyer and through to the kitchen area - while hardwood floors bring rich warmth to the living, family, and dining rooms - with all the principal rooms also having the elegant finishing touch of crown moldings. Oversized windows with multiple exposures allow for natural light all day long and amazing views of the surrounding greenery - with many of the windows having light-diffusing blinds - while a soft neutral colour palette throughout enhances their natural brightness.
The family room has the rustic accent of a corner fireplace surrounded with stone - while during intimate evenings with guests, the ambient glow of an elegant chandelier envelops the dining room - and entertaining during the warm weather months easily spills to the outdoors through a sliding door walk-out from this space.
The kitchen is a blend of both traditional and contemporary design - showcasing light-coloured cabinetry with a wood grain veneer finish and the striking contrast of dark-coloured tiled back splashes and stone counters; while the cool sleekness of stainless steel is seen with the double under mount sink and appliances.
The walk-out from the kitchen opens into a sunroom with the rustic outdoor decor of wood panelled walls and ceilings, a brick accent wall, and oversized windows - and this room has walk-outs to both the front yard, and onto a brand new backyard deck that offers incredible space for outdoor entertaining and enjoyment, spectacular views of the surrounding tree line, and which steps down to the backyard.
The main level also features a powder room with a space-saving vanity, and the staircase to the upper level has the classic finish of hardwood treads with white risers - and this level features wide plank flooring throughout; light-diffusing blinds on all the windows; pot lighting in the hallway; as well as three bedrooms, a washroom, and a walk-in storage closet.
The three bedrooms are quite gracious in their size, while their large windows allow for ample natural brightness and views of the outdoor greenery. Light-coloured walls and a southwesterly exposure gives the second bedroom a fresh, airy feel; a northwesterly exposure bathes the third bedroom in soft, diffused light - with this bedroom additionally featuring a walk-in closet; and off the hallway is a linen closet, as well as the incredibly spacious walk-in storage closet.
The 3-pc washroom features a tiled floor; a vanity with stone counter and under mount basin; a glass shower area with tiled walls; as well as pot lighting - and adjacent to this washroom is the master bedroom. With a fresh colour palette and a southeasterly exposure, this bright yet relaxing personal space showcases a walk-in closet, as well as a cozy sitting area separate from the main bedroom space - and which can be converted into additional closet storage or a computer nook, if desired.
The lower level features a landing area with ceramic flooring and pot lighting; lots of storage; as well as a bonus room that is ideal as a fourth bedroom, and which provides access to a combined storage room and laundry area.
The recreation area is quite spacious, has a walk-out to the backyard, as well as large above grade windows. In the corner is a fireplace surrounded with stone - and for entertaining convenience, there is a wet bar - while completing this level is a 3-pc washroom.
This home is steps to a network of trails in Austin Drive Park which connect to other nearby green spaces, and there are also fantastic amenities, services, and attractions just minutes away - including historic Main Street Unionville; Toogood Pond Park and the Milne Dam Conservation Area; the New Kennedy Square and CF Markville shopping malls; as well as the Centennial and Unionville GO Stations. Within a short drive is the Pacific Mall, golf courses, Markham-Stouffville Hospital, the Markham Fairgrounds, and historic Main Street Markham - and there is also quick access to Hwys 7, 407, and the 404.
