When Spruce Meadows is your next-door neighbour, splendour is assumed. Emerald green fields, boundless paved trails, and proud, monumental rooflines dot the landscape to set the scene for one extraordinary bungalow, shimmering with its own prestige. Modest in size but not in stature, the Ellis is a modern-day palace hidden within its humble walls.

Main Area

While the Ellis sprawls 2209 square feet greatly across one main level, a formal dining room—just off the front foyer—cranes its neck to reach a magnificent 16’ height. Two sets of stylish windows nestled into the added height create a path of uninterrupted natural light within the dining room and foyer. To the left of this grand foyer, you’ll find the staircase to the lower level cushioned neatly next to a large home office, complete with vast, bright windows and a tray ceiling.

The formal dining area offers its vast ceiling height to the open, masterful great room, complete with its floor-to-ceiling stone-wrapped fireplace. Immense windows allow light to permeate the room, while luscious, dark wood built-in cabinetry embraces the fireplace on either end. Tremendous, grainy, and multi-toned hardwood floors blanket the entire main floor for a raw, natural look throughout the home.

The Kitchen

Dark hardwood cabinetry flows elegantly like liquid chocolate to enhance the layout of the chef’s kitchen. Countertop-to-ceiling drawers and cabinets frame the oversized sink, capped by a barrel-style decorative feature. Full backsplash tile surrounds the large window, lit by under-mounted lighting for both function and style. Glass insets in the top-level cabinets create additional decorative display areas for your china or other cherished pieces.

The luscious cabinetry is carried through to the adjacent wall, surrounding the refrigerator and the built-in oven and microwave. The expansive pantry also offers a matching set of cabinetry, along with additional shelving and a pass-through to the mudroom and garage.

The final touch on this kitchen masterpiece is the stunning island, designed with contrasting cream beadboard-style doors, and a complementary chocolate and cream marble-style granite countertop. Comfortable seating for three at this massive island ensures your family has plenty of room for a relaxing meal or snack.

A dark chocolate bulkhead matches the shape of the island on the ceiling, providing a gracious backdrop for the additional lighting, and the range hood. An additional eating area, or nook, is found adjacent to the kitchen. Plenty of windows offer natural light on two sides, and a convenient doorway out to the rear 12’ x 18’ deck.

Additional Features

Just behind the kitchen and pantry, you'll find a very private half bath, sizeable mudroom, and comfortable laundry room fit for even the toughest of chore days. Passing through the mudroom, enter your triple-car garage, with a two-car port at the front of the home lined by a full wall of windows, and an angled oversized single for both convenience and added style. Although the garage is one large space, consider the single-door portion for your toys, personal workshop, or other such space to fit your lifestyle.

Master Suite

Your master suite commandeers a spacious portion of the floor plan, setting the tone for your own personal sanctuary. The expansive 18’ x 14’ bedroom offers windows on two sides, plus a doorway straight out to your deck; the same deck attached to your additional dining area.

Your master ensuite offers an extended dual vanity with succulent cappuccino-toned granite and dark cabinetry. A full-wall sized mirror adds to the illusion of even more space, although it's certainly not needed in this home. A double glass shower stands proudly on the opposite side of the room, complete with multiple showerheads and frosted windows for both light and privacy. The best part? A large soaker tub lies next to the shower for those soothing soaks after a long day.

Just past the ensuite, you’ll find a large walk-in closet complete with shelving and cabinetry fully lining each wall. You’ll never run out of space for your things.

Optional Lower Level

Descending to the lower floor, the optional lower level development creates a fully equipped entertainment area. A spacious games room and family room are served by an oversized wet bar, complete with wine storage and plenty of space for additional sets of glassware and other serving items.

Just off the family room are two additional bedrooms both 12’ x 16’ in size. A convenient full bath is also next to the family room for convenience to both the entertaining area and the bedrooms. A sizeable exercise room is found at the front of the home, away from the main area, for additional privacy.

This home is nothing shy of spectacular. For its modest square footage, this home certainly doesn’t shy away from extravagance. You are cordially invited to view its grandeur; however, an appointment is necessary.
