A beautifully renovated four bedroom, three bathroom John Boddy home nestled within the prestigious Pickering Village neighbourhood of Central West Ajax, welcome to 67 Mortimer Crescent.
The tiered stone walkway is lined with a landscaped garden bed, and the home’s covered double door entry opens into an elegantly updated main level showcasing wide plank engineered hardwood flooring in its reception area and entertaining rooms; upgraded polished floor tiles in the foyer, kitchen area, laundry and powder rooms; as well as pot lighting and a warm neutral decor accentuated with crisp white trims throughout.
Filled with natural light through southeasterly facing windows along its turret wall - the sunken formal living room is bright, very generously sized, and an exceptional space for entertaining while enjoying views of the front garden and tree-lined street.
Across the reception hall is the formal dining room. Beautifully suited for intimate gatherings, this space showcases an octagonal-shaped coffered ceiling with a medallion, has two accent windows, and enjoys direct access from the kitchen for entertaining convenience.
With a light colour palette, upgraded light fixtures, and large windows, the kitchen and its breakfast area are both incredibly bright - and with its updated modern design, the kitchen is as functional as it is gorgeous. A joy for the home chef, this space showcases crisp white cabinetry with under cabinet lighting, plus a built-in pantry in the breakfast area; quartz counters and back splashes; stainless steel appliances; as well as a new stainless steel double under mount sink with a new gooseneck faucet, the bay window above the sink also finished with a quartz ledge - and during the warm weather months, entertaining easily extends to the outdoors through a sliding door walk-out, which opens to a fully fenced and nicely sized backyard that is landscaped with garden beds and a large patio area.
A great space for impromptu gatherings, or relaxing after a long day - the spacious family room enjoys backyard views through windows that flank the warmth of a gas fireplace finished with a tiled hearth, brick cladding, and a wood mantle shelf.
The main level also features a mirrored coat closet in the foyer; a powder room, its updated vanity having a quartz counter and under mount basin; as well as a combined laundry and mud room with front load washer and dryer, cabinetry and closet storage, access to the attached garage, and a secondary side door entrance.
To the lower level of this home is a carpeted staircase - this level unfinished, yet having wonderful potential for future recreational space; and the hardwood staircase to the upper level complements the household decor - as does the railing - which carries from the lower level landing to the upper level hallway.
The upper level is finished with wide plank engineered hardwood flooring throughout, and above the staircase - surrounded by pot lighting - is John Boddy’s iconic octagonal-shaped skylight.
Of the two washrooms on this level, the main 5-pc has been beautifully updated, and showcases a new vanity with quartz counter and under mount basins, upgraded tiles finishing the bath area and the floor, upgraded light fixtures, as well as a water closet and a linen closet.
The second, third, and fourth bedrooms are spacious, enjoy southeasterly exposures, have upgraded light fixtures, and can accommodate sitting and/or study areas - the second bedroom also featuring a walk-in style closet with double doors; the third bedroom has a raised ceiling above the arched windows along its turret wall and a good-sized closet; and the fourth bedroom’s window offers a wonderful view of the tree-lined street, and also features a double closet.
The very generously sized master suite has a double door entry, and the turret-shaped portion of its north wall is an ideal sitting area, while windows along this wall fill this lovely retreat with soft natural light. The bedroom also showcases upgraded light fixtures and two walk-in closets with pot lights - and its 5-pc ensuite washroom features a glass shower area; a water closet; a step-up corner tub; as well as a corner vanity with drop-in basins separated by a make-up counter.
This home is a short walk 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.
