135 ROYAL ORCHARD Drive

About this home.

If your family's been experiencing a recent growth spurt and you're on the lookout for more space to spread out, an expansive four-bedroom family home in Forest Heights awaits! An impressively finished and beautifully maintained property, 135 Royal Orchard Drive combines the best of European quality finishes and North American size to create a complete package perfect for all seasons. Stepping inside from the stamped concrete walkway and elevated front porch, you're welcomed immediately by bespoke inlaid travertine and hand-carved hardwood flooring underfoot, while natural light floods through the large principal spaces of the residence. An updated kitchen boasts gleaming granite countertops, custom cabinetry, abundant potlights, a stainless appliance suite and a travertine tile backsplash, while the adjacent family room features a beautiful stone and live-edge surround for the cozy gas fireplace, high-end twist-and-turn windows (many more of which can be found upstairs), and a walkout to the sunroom to the rear of the home. This sunroom, awash in westward-facing sunlight, is one of the highlights of the home - with its vaulted ceiling and double walkouts to the fully fenced and meticulously maintained gardens. Back inside and upstairs, you'll find four proper bedrooms, including the primary suite with its private balcony, ensuite bath, and deep walk-in closet. A full four-piece family bath rounds this level out. The finished basement offers an expansive rec room, and multiple additional storage areas (easily adaptable as an additional bedroom or home office if needs be), while the utility room provides lots of space for a hobbyist, as the laundry is conveniently located upstairs on the main floor. A steel roof with transferrable warranty lends added peace of mind. All of this lies in a mature, family-friendly neighbourhood - walking distance from schools, with the newly upgraded Meadowlane Park right across the road, and just moments from the expressway.
