A private piece of lakefront paradise
$499,00.00
As you make your way down Aldamay Lane, be prepared for a surprise. At the end of this private drive you’ll discover a hidden gem. Six full acres of lakefront property, stunning views, mature forest and a beautiful reproduction early American T-shape farmhouse await you.
Lovely French doors with sidelights and a transom greet you as enter into the main foyer. At once, feel like you’ve stepped back in time. Impressive 10-foot ceilings, stained glass transoms, restored antique tin ceilings (circa 1838), wood mouldings, and a grand fireplace give this six-year-old home the grandeur of homes built long ago. While in-floor radiant heat, a heat pump and air conditioning are but a few of the modern conveniences this well-built, double-wall, construction has to offer.
This home, the perfect blend of old and new, is full of surprises. Antique tin ceilings that date back to 1838 have been carefully salvaged from a Saint John landmark and beautifully restored to add beauty to the home’s living room, dining room and kitchen. An antique hutch from New Albert School has been refinished and is now a lovely, built-in dining room cupboard for your fine china.
The dining room leads to a dream kitchen. Here, in addition to a beautiful view of McLaughlin Lake, you’ll be delighted by the custom cabinetry, wainscoting, granite-topped island and counters, and two pantries. Chefs will delight in the propane cook top and stove, while a second wall oven is perfect for dinner party preparations. The laundry room is convenient to the kitchen and to the main floor master suite.
The master suite, lined with quality laminate with in-floor radiant heat, is a lovely retreat with many windows and a doorway that leads to the home’s covered and screened backyard porch. The ensuite bath has two gorgeous pedestal sinks, a deep soaker tub surrounded with marble, a four-foot stand up shower, linen closet and gleaming marble flooring. You’ll never want to leave this room, except perhaps to enjoy summer sunsets over the water from the screened porch.
Or perhaps to sit by a warm propane fire in the home’s lovely, window-lined living room. The fireplace is a beautiful combination of wood and marble. While a formal living room, this space is cosy and welcoming.
A lovely powder room with a pedestal sink and flush completes the main floor. With the exception of the master bedroom (laminate with in-floor heat), the main floor is lined with ceramic tile with in-floor radiant heat.
Climb the wood stairs to the home’s second floor where you’re in for more surprises. A wonderful great room with vaulted ceilings and a wall of windows overlooking the lake will be a favourite family space. A lovely hallway with an office area leads to a bathroom with two pedestal sinks, a tub and shower, ceramic tile and wainscoting. Down the hallway find two exceptionally large bedrooms. Both rooms have many windows, are lined with softwood flooring and have walk-in closets. One of the bedrooms has a secret passageway to the great room!
The outside of this double-walled construction is covered with quality Hardiplank siding. You’ll also find a matching, detached garage.
Though tucked away by a lake, this upscale executive home is set in a vibrant community where neighbours gather for progressive holiday parties and rounds of summer community golf.
