What a find! 4890 North Shore Crescent - a 2 storey 2,700 square foot home with oversized double car garage, two acres overlooking a pond, rugged Canadian shield, and only 15 minutes to Kingston. Life doesn't just happen at this beautiful home it unfolds across the entire property. Step past the Douglas-Fir timber-framed porch and into the spacious front entry with custom built-ins. From here, the main floor opens in two parts. To the right is where you'll find the open concept kitchen, dining and living room with pellet stove. It's all been recently renovated to take full advantage of the large floor plan. A little further still and you're in a sitting nook that connects to the sun-room and a refreshed half bath. Back to the more private end of the home is an office with views to the front and a flexible bonus room. There are three bedrooms upstairs. The primary, with its bright and expansive walk-in closet and new 4-piece bath, is spectacular. The kids bathroom is just as big and even comes with separate sinks for the little ones. The laundry is in the middle of all the action and has a door to the exterior for direct access to a clothes line. Light, proportion, and utility are the quiet luxuries here. Outside, the lot is both retreat and launch point: a pool set into the yard, a deck for entertaining, a screened porch for rainy nights, and an insulated bunkie (named Faraday) overlooking the pond ideal for guests, art, or quiet retreat. There are bike paths, out-buildings, and a veggie garden with raised beds. The edge of the pond is the perfect place to nature watch or just unwind and when the weather turns cold the pond becomes a massive backyard skating rink. 4890 North Shore Crescent is big, and that alone makes it a great option as a family home. Include the workshop-like garage, the bunkie, the pond, the trails, the pool, the exposed granite and its proximity to Kingston and you've just found yourself something very special indeed! (id:63267)
