More than 4000 square feet of living space, nestled on 3 acres with majestic skyline views on top of the Escarpment
From the moment you arrive in front of 7715 Bell School Line, you realize very quickly that this is not your typical home. In fact, some buyers wait years for a home like this to come up for sale. From the rolling three-acre property, to the extraordinary views and peaceful setting close to town, to the impressive amount of living space inside the home, you'll quickly notice why we call this "a home for all seasons".
Even though it's in a rural setting, surrounded by farms and other country homes, you are a short distance from so many conveniences. Driving down Steeles, you could be in Milton in just over five minutes, enjoying the Farmer's Market on Saturday mornings. The entrance to Kelso/Glen Eden Conservation Area and the Bruce Trail are both just up the road, where you can enjoy skiing in the winter, and you'll find lots of trails plus a sandy beach and lake in the warmer months. Springridge Farm is close-by for the kids, and there are many golf courses and conservation areas nearby. It's the best of both worlds - the privacy of a rural setting, but close enough to Milton when you need to get there.
The land around the home is protected by the Niagara Escarpment Commission (NEC), meaning that you can rest assured that the adjacent properties will not be developed.
As you walk around the outside, it's evident that the owners take pride in the home. The gardens are kept neat and tidy, with an interlock front patio off the circular driveway. There's a lovely patio by the front door, which is a great place to read the paper or enjoy a hot or cold beverage at the start or at the end of your day. You'll find an oversized double garage attached to the home, plus an additional separate 21 x 28 foot workshop/garage for storage or hobbyists.
Around the back, you get the first glimpse at the panoramic view all the way from Brampton to Downtown Toronto. On a clear day, you can almost count the windows on the buildings by the CN Tower, and during fireworks season, you can watch the displays across the horizon from Brampton to Toronto. From this vantage point on top of the Escarpment you can actually see the weather forming in front of your eyes from your back deck.
There's a gazebo off the kitchen, plus a multi-level deck that leads to the perennial gardens and the fence enclosed 16 x 32 foot swimming pool via the curved interlock walkways. Grab a swim in the summer, and look out over the horizon. No need for a cottage when you have a property like this, complete with a black walnut tree forest, fruit trees, berry bushes and a vegetable garden.
Inside, the home is a large bungalow, with a walk-out basement below. There's a curved oak staircase by the main entrance, along with a formal dining room with wainscotting and hardwood flooring, which opens up to the renovated kitchen with granite counters, porcelain tile floor, and a door to the gazebo. There's a living room with a massive window, with more hardwood flooring and a cozy wood burning fireplace. The evening skyline of Brampton, Milton, Mississauga and Toronto is magnificent.
There's a door separating the "living" areas from the "sleeping" area, with three bedrooms, including the spacious master bedroom with garden doors to a private deck with more lovely views, plus an ensuite with an indoor hot tub. Imagine relaxing with a glass of wine in the hot tub right before bed, seeing the lights from the city in the distance.
You'll find one more full washroom on this level, fully renovated with double sinks, and a powder room around the corner from the kitchen. There's a main floor laundry, plus a "mud room" access to the garage.
Downstairs, the family room has a sliding door walkout to ground level by the flower beds, pool and outdoor lounge. There are wood-beamed ceilings, with a reclaimed brick fireplace similar to upstairs. You'll also find a fourth bedroom, which is being used as an exercise room, plus a games room (currently used for billiards), separate male and female cedar-lined change room with direct access to the yard and swimming pool, a three-piece washroom with shower, and even a second kitchen that could be used as a hobby room, and a fruit cellar.
The home was built in 1974 by Burge Construction, and it's a wonderful place to entertain family and friends. There's open space, and the indoor and outdoor layout is ideal for large gatherings. In the fall, the colours spring to life, and in the winter, you can enjoy the fireplaces and hot tub, with a ski hill just a few minutes away. Summer days and nights are filled with swimming and clear views, with spring gardens that bloom when the weather gets warm. It's truly a "home for all seasons", and a wonderful place for you to enjoy many years to come.
