Upscale executive home in Rothesay



Exquisite is the word that comes to mind when you step through the front door onto the marble floor in the front vestibule of this newly built AE McKay five-bedroom executive home. As you make your way through the French door to the gracious hallway with cherry hardwood and admire the grand staircase with wrought iron balusters, your first thought is confirmed. This 3330-square foot home (with an additional 1450 square feet in the finished basement) is truly exquisite.

To your right is the home's formal living room. Like the rest of the main and second floor, this room has beautiful rich Brazilian cherry hardwood. Two large windows bring in plenty of natural light and crown moulding trims the 9-foot high ceiling.

Down the hallway to your left, find a very spacious formal dining room. With double French doors and panelled wainscoting, this room is reminiscent of the dining rooms found in heritage estate homes. A lovely chandelier with medallion lights the room while natural daylight floods in through a large picture window.

At the back of the home, find a popular and convenient open-concept kitchen, eating area and great room. The great room with a 14-foot cathedral ceiling and gorgeous stone propane fireplace will be everyone's favourite gathering spot. This room has many large windows, cherry flooring, and looks like it's right out of a fine home's magazine.

And speaking of picture perfect, the chef's dream kitchen is not only beautiful, but functional. Gleaming granite lines all of the many counters and the huge center island. There is more than enough cupboard space in the many custom cabinets and a hidden pantry (cleverly disguised as a bookshelf) has plenty of space for dry goods. The appliances are all stainless steel and of professional quality. The food gourmet will love the 48-inch Wolf propane range with four burners, a grill and griddle. Above the range find a Viking ventilation system, and there's a convenient pot-filler. The kitchen has two Kenmore Pro wall ovens, a dishwasher and stand-alone fridge and freezer.

Additional features of the main floor include a laundry room with built-in cabinets and a granite counter (all countertops in the home are granite! ), a powder room with marble floor, vanity with a lovely vessel sink and waterfall faucet, and a mudroom entrance from the oversized two-car garage.

Upstairs there is a lovely hallway with an open reading room or office. Double French doors with pebbled glass open onto the master suite. This grand room has a cathedral ceiling, plenty of windows, a walk-in closet and a spa-like ensuite. The bathroom features marble floor, his and hers vessel sinks with waterfall faucets, a jet tub, flush, plus a very large walk-in shower with glass mosaics. This room also has a convenient hidden laundry chute.

A second laundry chute is found in a closet off the foyer. The second floor has an additional three bedrooms and a bathroom with a claw foot tub, shower, vanity with a square ceramic vessel sink and a flush.

Downstairs in the home's large finished basement, you'll find another full bathroom, an exercise room, the fifth bedroom, and a very spacious games, media and recreation room. There is also a storage room.

Outside you'll enjoy a large backyard deck as well as a covered porch. The large corner lot is landscaped with mature trees in the backyard as well as many newly planted maples and several fruit trees (apricot, cherry, pear, plum).

This truly upscale home is set on a quiet court (there are only four homes on the street) in a very desirable Rothesay neighbourhood within walking distance to all three levels of schools, churches, restaurants, shopping, the Rothesay Common and the Rothesay Yacht Club.
