A stunningly updated 4+1 bedroom brick home with five washrooms, nestled in a coveted neighbourhood minutes from the heart of Central West Ajax’s historic Pickering Village, welcome to 63 Simms Drive.
An immaculately maintained property showcasing interlocking stone walkways on the north and south sides to a beautiful backyard retreat - stone landscaping is also extensively used in the front yard, enhancing both the curb appeal and stately presence of this home. The geometric patterned interlocking driveway, its surrounding accent border, and its accompanying walls are finished with an aesthetically pleasing colour contrast of light and dark stone - all which is carried over to a spacious west-facing front terrace overlooking front yard greenery and mature trees.
This home has recently renovated main and upper levels showcasing numerous upgrades, is freshly painted throughout, and which has an exceptional ease-of-flow between its principal rooms.
Large windows in the living and dining rooms bring beautiful natural light into these entertaining spaces - their neutral decor, crisp white trims, and pot lighting also featured throughout this level. Bringing modern elegance to these spaces is a pendant chandelier in the dining area, as well as new wide plank hardwood flooring, which also finishes the reception hall, the den, and both the laundry and family rooms.
The family room centres itself around a built-in fireplace with a floor-to-ceiling stacked stone mantle - this wonderful gathering space having one of two sliding door walk-outs to the backyard from this level.
Fully open to the family room - the kitchen showcases a chandelier above the island; upgraded polished floor tiles; quartz counters and back splashes; a stainless steel double under mount sink, oven, range hood, and French door fridge; and cabinetry that features valance lighting, crown molding, glass-panelled accent doors, and storage that includes a separate wall pantry.
The sliding door walk-out in the breakfast area opens onto a large entertaining deck overlooking a backyard lined with mature trees and a meticulously maintained lawn.
The main level additionally features a powder room with upgraded tiles and a vanity with quartz counter; a private den; and a laundry room with washer and dryer, a stainless steel sink, as well as access to both the garage and to the lower level - and curving to the upper level is a staircase with updated hardwood treads and a railing with wrought iron pickets.
This level showcases pot lighting and new wide plank hardwood flooring throughout; four spacious bedrooms; and two washrooms.
The second third, and fourth bedrooms all feature double closets, and can accommodate sitting or study areas - the third and fourth bedrooms having windows on their west walls; the fourth bedroom also featuring chair rail; and the second bedroom having its own private access to the common-use 4-pc washroom - this washroom showcasing upgraded floor and wall tiles; a vanity with a quartz counter; as well as a glass shower with a quartz-topped shower seat.
The impeccable master suite showcases a lovely sitting area by its turret wall - and daily views of greenery visible through its windows. Also featuring a double door entry and a large walk-in closet - its ensuite washroom showcases a vanity with quartz counter; a freestanding tub; a glass shower with a quartz-topped shower seat; as well as upgraded tiled finishes throughout, including basketweave accents.
The lower level is as immaculately maintained as the rest of the home, and showcases a fully finished open layout with two distinct recreational areas brightened with pot lighting. Directly off the staircase landing is a games area with laminate flooring; mirrored accent walls; a wall-to-wall bench seat; as well as a 4-pc washroom.
The main family recreation area has a kitchen with vinyl plank flooring - while broadloom adds coziness to the remainder of this space, as well as to this level’s bedroom, which has a 2-pc ensuite washroom. The recreation area has a gas fireplace and an updated secondary staircase to the main level - this level also having potential for use as an in-law suite, with the staircase leading to the home's separate entrance in the laundry room.
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 a short drive away

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.
