Walking through the front door, you'll be struck by the craftsmanship of the builder, who cut no corners in bringing this home down to the studs, expanding it, and putting it back together. Offering ~3,700 sq ft of total usable space (~2,750 sq ft above grade living area plus fully finished lower/bonus level), 78 Ontario Rd sits on a picturesque 5,820 sq ft corner lot whose positioning keeps sunlight streaming through the home all day, adding to the airy feel of the first floor.
While buyers in the surrounding neighborhood often contend with deferred maintenance, this home is virtually a new construction — without the new-construction taxes. Key upgrades include all-new electrical, modern plumbing, high-efficiency HVAC with central air, energy-efficient windows, a brand-new roof and siding, and double insulation for quiet and thermal efficiency.
Walking through the entry, you're greeted by pristine white oak floors that lead past a cozy gas fireplace, a bright sunroom, and a formal dining room into an expansive open kitchen equipped with premium quartz counters, a dedicated food pantry, and a stylish half bath. Step outside to a private paved, low maintenance patio - perfect for seamless indoor-outdoor entertaining, dining al fresco, with minimal weekend lawn care, adjacent to a rebuilt EV-ready 2-car garage.
Upstairs, the intelligent layout includes an oversized primary suite featuring a large walk-in closet, a secondary closet, and a luxurious en suite bath. Three additional sizable bedrooms provide ultimate flexibility for a growing family or dedicated home office spaces, complemented by a large hall bath, a deep wall of storage closets, and a dedicated upper-level laundry room. An insulated pull-down attic provides extensive additional storage.
The expansive footprint continues into the fully finished basement, which adds another 1,000 sq ft of living space complete with recessed lighting, durable porcelain woodgrain tile, an egress window, and a full bathroom. It offers endless flexible space to outfit as a private media den, game room, home gym, or guest suite.
The laundry room and closets have been intentionally left without hang bars and laundry machines, giving you the freedom to configure them to fit your own lifestyle.
