Tucked at the top of a quiet Laurelwood court and backing onto tranquil wooded green space, this exceptional Ross Miner-built executive home combines striking architecture, remarkable privacy and extraordinary spaces for entertaining, recreation and family life. A dramatic staircase in a 2 storey foyer and a soaring great room ceiling create an impressive sense of scale, with abundant natural light and views of the surrounding greenery. Rich hardwood flooring flows through the principal living areas, including an elegant vaulted-ceiling living room and private main-floor office. The beautifully updated kitchen features quartz countertops, built-in appliances and quality finishes, opening to the great room through a two-sided gas fireplace. French doors extend the living space to a large terrace and covered outdoor kitchen with a built-in Napoleon BBQ overlooking the professionally landscaped backyard with premium artificial turf, natural armour stone and an expansive patio finished with architectural stone pavers. And then there is the remarkable walkout level. Transformed through a major custom addition, this is far more than a conventionally finished basement. A bright, expansive entertaining space features a custom bar, fireplace and heated marble flooring, with direct access to the backyard. A professionally installed golf simulator, home gym, additional bedroom and full bathroom create an exceptional space for entertaining, recreation and guests. With well over 4,000 sq. ft. of beautifully finished living space, extensive upgrades and meticulous care throughout, this is a truly distinctive, move-in-ready home in one of Waterloo's most desirable neighbourhoods.
