The matchless duo of Barry Hobin Architects and Roca Home Builders have worked their magic at 294 Mountbatten, blending space and function for family living in a winning home of epic luxury, style, and proportion.

Playing off age-old trees and the serenity of Alta Vista that surrounds, oversized stone, wood accents and a hipped roofline create a captivating silhouette. A delicious bonus? An enviable lot size matches home's footprint - the wow factor starts before stepping inside.

Step through the solid wood door under a covered entrance and take in your chic surroundings. Clean lines, quality finishings and craftsmanship, luxury fixtures, and an abundance of natural light take precedence here. An open to above entrance evokes an immediate sense of space and sets the tone for an open, highly liveable flow throughout the rest of home.

Custom design from some of the best minds in the business has its benefits - among them, a floorplan that offers both entertainment-ready and kid-friendly zones. Grounding the formal living area is an impressive fireplace, while the floor to ceiling window showcases soaring 10 foot ceilings and gleaming hardwood floors. Note the subtle luxuries that make hosting, playing, and living, an effortless endeavour. Built-in speakers throughout add ambience to every room, Control 4 home management and security system acquiesce to every command at the touch of a button, and thoughtful corner windows offer visual interest and the best of each day's golden hours. Continue to the open dining room - delineated by a striking built-in quartz counter buffet and Irpinia cabinetry - glass cabinets showcase your best. Separate red and white wine fridges accompany each family occasion. A utilitarian zone lies off the main hall - find a spacious mudroom with uber-organized closets to access the heated two car garage, a well-appointed powder room, a walk-in pantry, and a home office ideally located for optimal productivity.

The heart of home lies nearby - an unparallelled combo that satisfies family needs in an elegant zone of comfort and luxury - coffered ceilings above, natural light all around; the open family room and kitchen answer all needs in spades. Built-ins in the living room offer a sleek alternative to keeping technology out of sight. Bring on those cozy game nights, pizza parties, late night chats - the linear fireplace and expansive view onto the South-facing back yard offer an extraordinary backdrop all year round. Patio doors lead to a private, outdoor green space - with so much room to play and lounge, you won't believe you're only 10 minutes from downtown.

Keep the TV on during meal prep or chat about the day ahead as you cook for your clan at the sprawling quartz-topped island. The avid chef will love the six burner Dacor range - hosting the in-laws over the holidays? No problem - the balance of this kitchen is your sous-chef; stainless Miele appliances including a double oven, pull out pantries and elegant Irpinia soft-close cabinets result in a Pinterest-worthy kitchen. Exceptional sunlit mornings beckon - a banquette table with corner windows starts your day.

Open risers and a glass railing lead the way upstairs; know that flawless attention to detail is repeated throughout every level of home - you'll notice exceptional craftsmanship continued throughout, with smart planning tailored to the comfort of both guests and residents. Two bedrooms connected via a Jack and Jill bathroom banish sibling rivalry with matching features like walk-in closets, large footprints and stunning corner windows.

Overnight guests are treated to a five star stay; set apart from the master and residents' bedrooms, it also boasts a beautifully appointed ensuite. Advantageous second floor laundry yields counter space, storage and built-in drying rack.

A hectic schedule is no match for the calming effect of the master suite - two far-reaching walk-in closets manage the largest of wardrobes, leaving your refuge free of clutter. In a masterful stroke of planning, the ensuite serves a dual purpose in style - easily handling a couple's busy morning routine, while simultaneously offering a tranquil spot for unwinding. Find a double vanity, adjustable lighting to set any mood, double walk-in rain shower and a stand alone tub that come together for a perfectly functional zen-like space. A water closet with private sink lie nearby.

Where utility is normally prioritized over quality finishes in the basement, here, find Roca Homes high quality craftsmanship throughout this flexible and stunning lower level. A large rec room features a home screen projector, wet bar, and powder room - entertaining never came so easy or looked so refined. Adjacent, find a nanny or in-law suite, plentiful with space, an egress window for safety, and an ensuite equal to home's polished taste. Nearby, a home gym offers prime motivation - there's a hookup for TV and music to make sure you finish strong. Utilities and storage complete this level - take note; it's just as beautifully finished as the rest, resulting in three floors of exquisite, usable space.

A mature neighbourhood, a home that is unparallelled in style and function - marvel at the 10 minute drive downtown. With bike paths, parks, and transit nearby - family adventure is always around the corner. Great schools, hospitals, Lansdowne and amenities are only minutes away. Alta Vista is a crowd pleaser and it's easy to see why - don't wait, make an appointment today!
