The light scent of magnolia drifts on a breeze. Birds twitter and chirp among the towering cedars. Bees hum and sunlight filters onto the impressive brick driveway that leads to 196 Model Farm Road - a magnificent upscale home with a gorgeous panoramic view of the Kennebecasis River.
With 3.3 acres of waterfront, mature forest, rolling green lawns, manicured garden beds, along with a large pond and a water view that never quits, this property is idyllic. It is at once a retreat for busy adults ready to relax and unwind and a magical playground for curious and imaginative children.
This is resort style living right at your own home! In summer, enjoy kayaking, canoeing, or jet skiing in the cove. In winter, cross country ski around this expansive property, and all year round, delight in the vast array of birds and wildlife that come to visit.
Designed by Heinz Fleckenstein, the 5000 plus square foot "no expenses spared" home was built by Reg Potter - a contractor well-known for quality workmanship. (There are seven tonnes of rebar in the concrete foundation!).
Quality is exactly what you'll find the moment you step through the bevelled-glass doorway and onto the extra-thick German ceramic tiles. And it doesn't end in the large foyer either ...
In the formal living room with its grand cathedral ceiling, find extra wide and extra thick oak hardwood flooring, valance lighting on both sides to illuminate the ceiling, lifetime finish wall coverings, and clear storey windows with doors that open onto an expanse of multi-level decks overlooking the grounds and river.
To the right of the living room, is yet another jaw-dropping space. The library, with a cathedral ceiling, is lined with beautiful cherry bookshelves and includes a gorgeous built-in cherry roll top desk. More extra wide oak flooring and clear storey windows (with internal blinds) plus another exit onto the decks.
A second doorway leads from the library to the main floor master bedroom. Heated ceramic tile lines the floor of this large room where you'll find another cathedral ceiling, a bay window seat, and a built-in dresser. The ensuite bath features a deep soaker tub and sitting area, a dresser style vanity, a fully tiled stand-up shower with glass doors, and a European-style enclosed toilet. There's a linen closet and a large walk-in closet with many shelves.
The eat-in kitchen, renovated in 2008, is a display of beauty and function. Gorgeous granite lines the counters and the large centre island that includes a built-in granite-topped table. There's an abundance of cabinetry that includes appliance garages, plus two desks. The room is illuminated with natural light that beams in through the greenhouse style windows that provide a skylight effect.
Cooking will be a pleasure with the stainless steel Jenn-Air stove. You'll also enjoy the extra-quiet stainless dishwasher, stainless steel microwave and the built-in fridge panelled to match the cabinetry. The kitchen also features a truly unique built-in Geochron Global Time Indicator. This conversation piece made in Luxembourg displays daylight and darkness plus times throughout the world!
Handy to the kitchen is the home's sunny dining room with more extra thick German ceramic tile, and a granite-topped pass through built-in china cabinet and buffet.
A stunning natural granite fireplace is the focal point of the home's sunken family room. With rough faced granite inlaid with polished granite, a polished granite mantle and floating raised hearth, plus built-in seats, the oversized propane fireplace is a work of art. Ceramic tile lines this large space which also features beautiful built-in shelves (including an entertainment centre) that flank the fireplace. Here you will also find more gorgeous green house windows (new in 2008), custom wood shutters, and doors leading to the decks.
Additional features of this main floor include a large walk-in pantry off the kitchen, an oversized laundry room with many built-ins, including sweater drying racks, two powder rooms, and … the children's wing!
Children can enter their own section of the house through two separate entrances - one in the front of the house, and a second from the fenced side yard.
