Nestled within a waterfront enclave along the northern shoreline of Lake Scugog, welcome to 21 Gilson Point Place, a stunning three bedroom home with three washrooms situated in The City of Kawartha Lakes’ rural community of Little Britain.
A premium sized property surrounded by trees, backing onto farmlands, and set well back from the road - both the front and backyards are beautifully landscaped. The front yard has a stone walkway to the covered concrete front porch, and meticulously maintained garden beds. The backyard is a summertime oasis - showcasing an in-ground pool surrounded by a concrete deck, while armour stones line the north side of the pool and a hot tub set on a concrete pad. There are three separate patio areas - a circular flagstone patio on the west side of the yard with a fire pit; a large flagstone patio for dining and entertaining that has a wood bench seat and a built-in barbecue; as well as a poolside interlocking patio with a metal gazebo - and the backyard also includes a storage shed and a kids play structure.
This two-storey brick home has a two car garage with abundant driveway parking, and its well-maintained interior showcases tiled floors in the foyer, hallway, kitchen area, laundry room, and all the washrooms; hardwood flooring in the living and dining rooms, with engineered hardwood floors throughout the upper level; pot lighting, ceiling fan lights, as well as contemporary light fixtures and chandeliers; and large windows with mainly north- and south-facing exposures on both levels for abundant natural light. This home also has an unfinished lower level that offers great workshop and storage space.
The main level’s entrance foyer has a cathedral ceiling and is open to above, a double coat closet with mirrored doors, and is finished with wainscoting - which continues along the staircase wall, and along the walls of the upper hallway.
Off the foyer is the sunken living room, which is very generous in its size; has two bay windows (the south-facing window is huge!), and another north window with California shutters; a modern farmhouse chandelier; and a gas fireplace with a floor-to-ceiling black mantle finished with a live edge mantle shelf.
The stunning custom kitchen showcases a U-shaped design with quartz counters; ample cabinetry storage with a stand-alone pantry; a stainless steel French door fridge, oven with smooth surface cooktop, and a built-in microwave and dishwasher; a stainless steel-style back splash along the stove wall; as well as metal pendant lights above the peninsula seating, and a glass globe pendant light fixture above the stainless steel under mount sink, where a huge bay window offers a panoramic view of the backyard. A garden door and its window are complete with California shutters, and the door opens onto a deck with two sets of stairs to the backyard’s flagstone patio.
The kitchen has direct access into the formal dining room, which showcases a gorgeous chandelier, a huge south-facing window, and its French door entry off the foyer swings open in either direction.
The main level also features a sliding French door entry off the kitchen that opens into a laundry room with access to the garage; as well as a powder room with a vanity showcasing a stone counter, vessel basin, and a matching linen/toiletry cabinet.
The upper level has an arched second storey window trimmed with wood above the foyer; a main 4-pc washroom with a tiled shower area with stone-and-glass mosaic accents; a built-in linen/toiletry cabinet; and a vanity with an extra wide basin, a mirror with solid wood frame, and upgraded vanity lighting. The second and third bedrooms have ample closet storage - with the third bedroom additionally features three wall nooks, an arched window, and a French door entry into a family media room. This space has a vaulted ceiling; two large windows (one is arched); track lighting; and a set of stairs that leads to the garage.
The graciously sized master suite has a relaxing and serene aura, and showcases a sitting area by its huge south-facing arched window. This lovely retreat also features a side hall with a single and a double closet - the hall leading into an ensuite washroom with a sliding French door entry, wainscoting, a jetted tub with a frosted glass bay window above it, as well as a vanity with stone counter and under mount basin.
Homeowners within this enclave have private access to Lake Scugog - and for everyday amenities, shopping, restaurants, as well as medical and professional services, the village of Little Britain is a 12 minute drive, while the larger urban centres of Port Perry and Lindsay are 18 and 28 minutes away, respectively - and access to Hwys 7 and 12 to connect with other major thoroughfares are also just 20 and 13 minutes drives.
