At 17 Kaymar Drive, a minimal brick exterior provides a blank canvas for the stylishly done-for-you design that awaits its well-deserved admiration inside. A grand entrance is flooded with natural light where floor-to-ceiling windows do the heavy lifting. Specs of light are picked up by an intriguing textured curved wall, greeting you with an elevated first impression.

Put your favourite spirits and collectables on display among open shelves. A nearby brunch nook provides an ideal spot for slow Sunday mornings with a view of the pool. Relax among two lounges, each with a gas fireplace, and enjoy direct access to the side deck immaculately landscaped with natural stone and low-maintenance perennials. In the backyard, dine al fresco under a wooden pergola surrounded by maple trees that create a private retreat in warmer months. For direct access to the hot tub, follow the hallway to find a second entrance to your very own nature spa. Hydrotherapy has never been so close to home with a hot tub beside a spacious swimming pool — reap the health benefits of oscillating between the two temps while entertaining family and friends. A contemporary pool shed and subsequent tool shed ensure you're equipped for anything. Weekends and evenings spent hosting barbeques, practicing morning yoga, or gardening — what a way to gain full dividends on your backyard space.

The kitchen and lounge are delineated by a private dining area enclosed by sliding doors, accessible from either side — enjoy intimate dinners among lavish walls with built-in shelves. Guests looking for the powder room are graced with a whimsical experience found within the curved wall beside the front entrance where marble floors meet exquisite finishes, including a circular vessel sink. Venture to the end of the hallway to find a peaceful primary bedroom with a sizable walk-through closet leading to a sunny en-suite with a soaker tub, glass shower, and double vanity — each lit up by sky-light. A gas fireplace warms winter evenings. Beside the primary, find a second bedroom or ideal dedicated office space that boasts a picture window and spacious closet. The first floor is rounded off by a laundry room and second entrance with a coat closet.

Movie nights come alive in a finished lower level with a third gas fireplace and dimmable pot lights. Two nearby bright and spacious bedrooms make ideal guest suites.
