Welcome to 787 Sheppard Avenue, a beautiful 3+1 bedroom raised bungalow with two washrooms situated on a premium sized lot within the Woodlands neighbourhood of Pickering.
Set well back from the street, this brick home features a double car garage with driveway parking for up to six vehicles; mature trees, perennial plantings, and stone landscaping in the front yard and the backyard oasis; as well as a concrete porch with railing that wraps around the north and west sides of the home.
Updated, and lovingly maintained with pride of ownership - the main level showcases pot lighting, wide plank vinyl flooring, a neutral decor, and an abundance of natural lighting throughout.
An aura of modern sophistication envelops the living room, where an almost full wall of windows allows for diffused light, and which has an oversized entrance off the main hall with the added elegance of French doors.
Bright, and with an open functional layout - the eat-in kitchen has abundant cabinetry storage and counter work space; includes a stove with gas cooktop and dual ovens, built-in microwave and dishwasher, and a French door fridge; features a sink with a drain board, mosaic back splashes, and ceramic flooring; and also has a display niche with glass shelves, as well as a storage closet.
Off the kitchen is a French door entry into the dining room - an elegant and intimate entertaining space finished with chair rail, and also enjoying diffused light through its oversized north-facing window.
The main hall continues to the south wing of the home, and off the intersecting hallway are the three main level bedrooms and a beautiful 4-pc washroom showcasing ceramic flooring laid on the diagonal; a vanity with glass countertop and basin, its matching mirror having a glass shelf; as well as a ceramic-tiled bath area with a jetted tub, two partial glass walls, and a spa system.
The washroom, and both the second and third bedrooms, have upgraded light fixtures - with these bedrooms also having double closets and good sized windows. The master bedroom has an oversized west-facing window with backyard views that floods this beautiful retreat with abundant natural light; is also brightened with pot lighting, and features two double closets - and just outside its door is a linen closet, while off the main hall is a coat closet with mirrored doors.
Surrounding the open riser hardwood staircase to the lower level is a hardwood railing with metal pickets - and the fully finished lower, which brings added living and entertaining space to the home, is also ideal as an in-law suite.
The recreation room is divided into two distinct spaces - one with ceramic flooring that makes a great games area; the other a family media room having the coziness of broadloom and the added warmth of a fireplace surrounded by a stone feature wall with wood bookshelves. This level also features a split washroom - the toilet and a Euro vanity in one room, while a glass shower shares space with the combined kitchenette and laundry room - which features a stacked front load washer and dryer, a vessel basin, storage cabinets and shelves, as well as an oversized above grade window - these two rooms, plus a short side hall with coat and storage cubbies, finished with ceramic flooring. Laminate flooring finishes the bedroom, which has an oversized above grade window and a double closet - while the ceramic tiled landing off the family room has a garden door walk-out to the professionally landscaped backyard.
This lovely oasis showcases interlocking patio areas; an enclosed metal gazebo that extends the seasonal enjoyment of the space; a pond, a storage shed, and a raised gardening bed; while beyond the ornamental fencing is an interlocking deck surrounding the 18’ x 36’ in-ground pool.
Within the catchment area of Altona Forest and Frenchman’s Bay Public, St. Elizabeth Seton and St. Monica Catholic Elementary, Dunbarton High, and St. Mary Catholic Secondary Schools; and close to restaurants, convenience stores, and shopping plazas - this home is also just a short drive to the Pickering Town Centre Mall, the GO Station, and has easy access to Hwy 401 - as well as being close to the shopping, entertainment, and waterfront enjoyment of Pickering’s beautiful Frenchman’s Bay community along Lake Ontario.
