Situated within South Ajax’s waterfront community of Discovery Bay, and an impressive 4+1 bedroom executive home nestled on a premium-sized property backing onto conservation lands, welcome to 241 Lake Driveway West.
More than ample driveway parking complements the double car garage, while an interlocking walkway leads to an enclosed front entrance - and beyond the entry door is an incredibly spacious, light-filled main level with generously sized principal rooms that exude elegance.
Hardwood flooring flows throughout this level, its warm rich hue set against a neutral colour palette and crisp white trims - and to the left of the foyer are the formal entertaining spaces of the living and dining rooms. Fully open to each other, the dining room is illuminated by a modern lantern-style chandelier, and natural light floods into these spaces through west- and east-facing windows, both which have California shutters.
The west-facing family room overlooks the backyard, and also has direct access to it through a sliding door walk-out, and the coziness of a gas fireplace with a floor-to-ceiling brick mantle.
The adjacent custom kitchen is as functional as it is beautiful, with this meal prep area showcasing stone counters with a stainless steel double wide under mount sink; glass-and-stone mosaic-tiled back splashes; stainless steel appliances including a built-in dishwasher and microwave, an oven with smooth surface cooktop, and a side-by-side fridge/freezer; as well as gorgeous cabinetry with ample storage. Direct access to the formal dining room is an entertaining convenience, while the kitchen’s breakfast area has the illumination of a modern wagon wheel chandelier complementing the natural light streaming through its sliding door walk-out to the backyard, and its two windows - both complete with light-diffusing blinds and offering amazing views of the the forested landscape.
The main level also features a laundry room with a tiled floor, access to the garage, as well as a front load washer and dryer; a powder room; and a double coat closet in the foyer - while to the upper level is a hardwood staircase, its railing continued along the upper hallway.
This level also features hardwood flooring throughout; a double linen closet; large windows in all the rooms; as well as a chandelier above the staircase. The bedrooms are quite spacious - with both the second and third bedrooms enjoying east-facing exposures, and sharing between them the 4-pc common-use washroom. The third bedroom has a walk-in closet and a bay window - and the second bedroom has a double closet.
A double door entry opens into the master suite - which has a large sitting area with a double closet separate from the bedroom, and which can be converted back into a bedroom, if family needs require so. The master bedroom itself has a lovely light-washed sitting area by the three oversized windows that overlook the home’s backyard and the forest beyond - with this relaxing personal haven also featuring a walk-in closet, and a luxuriously appointed ensuite washroom. This spa-like space showcases polished stone tiles throughout; a free standing tub with a hand-held shower; a separate shower area with a glass door, and mosaic-tiled floor and accent wall border; as well as a vanity with stone counter and under mount basins. Its two corner windows have frosted glass inserts for privacy, while the windows in the bedroom and its adjacent sitting room area complete with California shutters.
To the lower level is a carpeted staircase, and off the lower landing is a 2-pc washroom. This level also features a cold room; a large storage room; as well as a bonus room with a French door entry that can be converted into another household bedroom. The huge recreation area showcases laminate flooring and pot lighting; a gas fireplace; a wet bar; as well as a distinct space with built-in bookcases and wall shelves.
During the summer months, the backyard transforms into an amazing oasis that showcases a large wood deck and a huge patio area, an outdoor bar, and an in-ground pool. A backyard gate provides access to breathtaking conservation lands with a lush forest, the Trans-Canada Trail, and Duffins Creek.
Walking distance to Lakeside Public School, this home is minutes to the restaurants and boutique shops within historic Pickering Village, and enjoys proximity to many of Ajax’s exceptional amenities - such as indoor and outdoor sports and fitness facilities, recreational and community centres, the Durham Centre Shopping Mall, Lakeridge Health Ajax Pickering Hospital, the GO Station, as well as quick access to Hwy 401 - and Ajax’s beautiful Waterfront Park with its over seven kilometres of trails along Lake Ontario is also within walking distance.

Ajax
Ajax was at first considered a part of the township of Pickering, prior to the Second World War. The town was first considered separate in 1941 when the community began to flourish around a shell plant constructed in the area. People came from all over Canada to take advantage of the economic opportunities that the plant provided, swelling development and the population of the area.
Of interest to note is that from 1941 to 1950 the town of Ajax did not have its own municipal government. After some petitioning the community became represented by an elected council in 1954.
