Take advantage of this rare opportunity to own a house and cottage all-in-one on this spectacular 50 x 427 foot ravine property in the Waterfront Community of West Rouge. Tucked away in the south-eastern most reach of Toronto is an enclave of homes nestled between 3 bodies of water – – the Rouge River to the east, Highland Creek to the west and Lake Ontario to the south. This quiet, family-oriented neighbourhood boasts one of the most beautiful stretches of Waterfront Trail (see WestRougeWaterfrontHomes.ca) with walking paths, bird-watching vistas, natural beach areas as well as man-made lagoons and a children’s playground. 451 Rouge Hills Drive was originally built in 1957 and has been owned by just two families in its 66-year history. Both families invested in extensive renovations to create more living space and enhance the connectivity of the home to its spectacular property and views. Family and friends can be entertained in the spacious living room with a cozy gas fireplace overlooking the front garden and tree lined street. Enjoy formal meals in the dining room with large picture windows and an ever-changing view of the Rouge River ravine. The updated kitchen overlooking the backyard is perfect for casual meals and snacks on the go with a built-in breakfast bar and solid stone countertops. Entertaining outdoors is a breeze with direct access to the multi-level deck from the bright eat-in kitchen area complete with a skylight. The picturesque backyard is an ideal setting to host a family function of any size. Explore the banks of the Rouge River from the foot of your property. Roast marshmallows in a firepit and skate on the frozen pond in the winter. The finished basement features an attractive Marsh wood-burning stove, a full bathroom and two spacious recreation rooms that will provide plenty of space for family members to spread out and do their own thing. The walk-out from the basement provides the potential to create a separate entrance and living area on the lower level for older children or parents. There is even an outdoor sauna! The upper-level features 4 good-sized bedrooms including a huge primary bedroom with a private balcony overlooking the backyard. Relax with your morning coffee or a glass of wine at the end of the day and enjoy the never-ending beauty of nature at your doorstep. 451 Rouge Hills Drive is ideal for outdoor enthusiasts that value a daily connection with nature while enjoying all the benefits of the vibrant West Rouge community. The neighbourhood contains excellent schools at all levels and is enhanced by many parks, two sets of tennis courts, two active community centres and many fine shops and services. The Rouge Hill GO-Train station is close-by and makes commutes to downtown Toronto quick and easy. The nearby 401 allows for quick getaways to the east, west and to cottage country. Come for a visit and fall in love with this truly exceptional property!
