Nestled on a premium pie-shaped lot one-third of an acre in size, and which backs onto a lush ravine setting - welcome to 12 Donwoods Crescent, an impressive 5+2 bedroom executive home with six washrooms and a triple car garage within the prestigious Forestview Estates enclave of Whitby’s Taunton North community.
The front yard has been landscaped with stone - complementing the stone front facade - enhancing the curb appeal of this brick home, which showcases almost 5,800 sq. ft. of fully updated interior living space.
Dark hardwood flooring finishes a home office found directly off the foyer - while the side hall has a coat closet, as well as a powder room with separate toilet and vanity areas.
Hardwood flooring is showcased throughout the main level, as are large windows with transoms. 10’ ceilings accentuate the airy spaciousness of the principal rooms, which have either pot lighting or upgraded modern light fixtures - with the dining area illuminated by a chandelier - and sharing an open layout with the living room, both spaces enjoy views of the adjacent ravine setting.
Showcasing a stunning custom design with exceptional functionality and storage - the kitchen features an island with seating, pendant lighting, and a stainless steel double sink; stone counters and glass-tiled back splashes; stainless steel appliances including a 6-burner gas range; while its cabinetry has extended height uppers, a pantry and servery area, plus the added storage of a large walk-in pantry.
The adjacent family room has a waffle ceiling, plus a gas fireplace - and with the warmth of a mainly southern exposure here and in the breakfast area, both of these rooms have light-diffusing blinds on their windows.
The breakfast area walk-out opens onto a raised deck with plenty of outdoor entertaining space that overlooks a huge backyard that can accommodate a basketball or tennis court, plus an in-ground pool. The massive stone patio offers even more entertaining space; chain link fencing allows the ravine views to remain unhindered; and the backyard also accessible via a tiered stone walkway from the front yard.
The side hall from the reception area leads to a mudroom featuring access to the triple car garage, as well as one of three hardwood staircases in the home - two which lead to the lower level living spaces, the third to the upper level.
Broadloom adds coziness throughout the upper level - which showcases upgraded modern light fixtures; five bedrooms with private or semi-private ensuite washrooms; plus a laundry room.
The fifth bedroom has a walk-in closet - this, the second, third, and fourth bedrooms all having space for sitting and/or study areas - while the ensuite washrooms for these bedrooms all feature tiled floor and bath areas, as well as vanities with stone counters.
The fourth bedroom has a very double closet, and a private ensuite washroom; the third bedroom features a walk-in closet, and shares with the second bedroom a Jack-and-Jill washroom; the second bedroom has a double closet; and the laundry room has a washer and dryer, a linen closet, and cabinetry storage.
South-facing and overlooking the ravine setting - the master suite has a 10’ high deep tray ceiling with a candelabra chandelier, and two walk-in closets - while its ensuite washroom showcases tiled finishes throughout; two vanities with stone counters; a free standing tub; and a glass shower within the privacy of its water closet.
The professionally finished lower level showcases upgraded flooring, plus 9’ ceilings with crown moldings and updated light fixtures throughout - and off the main lower landing is the first of two bedrooms - this one featuring a double closet with organizers.
The huge recreation area has open concept layout featuring pot lighting and a large family media room. Along the south walls are two oversized above grade windows - while the stunning bar/kitchen area showcases polished tile finishes; an island with raised bar seating; two stainless steel sinks; a bar fridge; stone counters; and cabinetry with abundant storage.
Off the family room is a walk-in closet, and a well-appointed 3-pc washroom - with this level additionally having a second bedroom featuring a walk-in closet.
A short walk to Coach Park - and minutes from the Thickson Square Shopping Mall - this home is also close to Willows Walk Public and Sinclair Secondary Schools, as well as the Taunton Gardens and SmartCentres Whitby NE Shopping Malls - with the Heber Down Conservation Area; Trent University and Durham College campuses; golf courses; Whitby’s beautiful waterfront along Lake Ontario; the GO Station; and access to Hwys 401 and the 407 all just short drives away.
