Description: Welcome to 1 Halliday Street, a beautiful 4+1 bedroom home with four washrooms situated within the highly desirable Imagination community of northeast Ajax. Set on a corner lot, this home features a brick and stone exterior; a double car garage; and a covered front porch - its double entry door opening into a ceramic-tiled foyer with a coat closet, and hardwood steps to a naturally bright open concept main level. Finished with hardwood flooring throughout, this level showcases high ceilings, crown moldings, pot lighting, extended height interior doors or room entries, as well as light-diffusing privacy blinds on the windows - and off the hallway landing is a den with a door for privacy, and which is also well-suited as a home office. Above the formal dining room is the ambient glow of a chandelier giving this elegant entertaining space an aura of intimacy - and a befitting entry between this and the generously sized entertaining space of the living room are half walls graced with decor columns. An exceptional room to gather with family or friends, this space features a gas fireplace for added coziness; enjoys abundant natural light through an oversized bay window that has a deep ledge perfect for indoor greenery; and is fully open to the kitchen and its breakfast area. A home chef’s delight, this fantastic culinary and family space showcases cabinetry with extended height molded uppers, glass panelled accents, a wine rack, and impressive storage, with valance lighting accentuating stone tiled back splashes. Stainless steel appliances include a built-in dishwasher, two cooktops - one being gas, a range hood, two built-in wall ovens, and a French door fridge. Granite counters finish the base cabinets, as well as a centre island with seating, pendant lighting, and a stainless steel double under mount sink - and through the oversized sliding door walk-out is a raised deck that has stairs to a east-facing fenced backyard with lots of outdoor play and gardening space. This home also features a lower level with a one bedroom, one bathroom in-law suite that has a separate entrance, and across from main level’s den is a storage closet. A powder room with pedestal sink is found off the sunken foyer - which is illuminated by a gorgeous chandelier; and to the mid- and upper levels is a hardwood staircase with wrought-iron pickets, the railing also continued along the upper level hallway, and where the mid-level family room is open to the foyer. This grand entertaining space showcases hardwood flooring; a huge west-facing window with an arched transom and zebra blinds; as well as a Cathedral ceiling with pot lighting and crown moldings - the pot lights and moldings also featured in the upper level hallway - and this stunning room enjoys an openness to both the main and upper levels. The upper level showcases hardwood flooring in the hallway and master suite, with cozy broadloom in the three remaining bedrooms; while ceramic flooring finishes a laundry room with front load washer and dryer - as well as the main 5-pc washroom, which additionally features a ceramic tiled bath area, and a vanity with stone counter and under mount basins. The fourth bedroom has a vaulted ceiling above its west-facing arched window, which is complete with a zebra blind; both the second and third bedrooms have large windows with horizontal blinds; and all three of these bedrooms feature ample closet storage. Two windows with west-facing exposures flood natural light into the master suite - a bright and airy personal retreat that showcases a contemporary crystal light fixture; space for a sitting area; and two walk-in closets outside the entry into its ensuite washroom - which features ceramic finishes, a glass shower with rainfall shower head, a vanity with a stone counter and under mount basin; as well as a soaker tub with two windows above it. A short walk to Da Vinci and Michaëlle Jean Public Schools, Imagination and Gillett Parks - as well as close to Notre Dame Catholic Secondary School, J. Clarke Richardson Collegiate Institute, and the Somerset Plaza for everyday shopping convenience - this home is minutes to the restaurants and boutique shops within historic Pickering Village, and enjoys proximity to many of Ajax’s exceptional amenities - such as indoor and outdoor sports and fitness facilities, recreational and community centres, the Durham Centre Shopping Mall, Lakeridge Health Ajax Pickering Hospital, the GO Station, as well as quick access to Hwy 401 - and Ajax’s beautiful Waterfront Park with its over seven kilometres of trails along Lake Ontario is also a short drive away.
