Welcome to 2318 Canterbury Crescent, a stunning four bedroom brick executive home with three washrooms situated within the prestigious Buckingham Gate enclave of east Pickering’s Brock Ridge neighbourhood.
Professionally landscaped front and back - interlocking stone finishes the driveway curbs; the front and side walkways; as well as the steps to, and floor of, the covered front porch - while also enhancing the natural landscape of this home’s lovely backyard.
The double door entrance and its transom have decorative glass inserts - and open into a main level with an open themed layout beautifully appointed with both hardwood and ceramic flooring; 9’ ceilings with crown moldings; elegant light fixtures and pot lighting; as well as light diffusing blinds or California shutters on large, well-placed windows that allow for abundant natural lighting.
Warm and inviting, the generous size of both the formal living and dining rooms are ideal for entertaining on a large- or small-scale. Enhancing the intimacy of the formal dining room is the ambient lighting of a timeless chandelier suspended from an octagonal-shaped coffered ceiling - and the dining room also has direct access from the kitchen via a servery area, and the added elegance of an oversized entry accented with decor columns off the reception area.
The cabinetry in the servery area has glass-panelled upper doors, and its stone-tiled back splash and stone countertop are also showcased in the gorgeous custom kitchen. This exceptional work space has a centre island with seating and a stainless steel double sink; extended height uppers with its wood cabinetry, plus a large pantry area; and is complete with stainless steel appliances including an oven with gas cooktop, built-in microwave and dishwasher, as well as a French door fridge - while pendant lighting illuminates the island and the breakfast area.
The adjacent family room is quite grand, and enjoys the warmth of a gas fireplace that has an arched window above it - while enhancing its spaciousness is natural light through two huge southwest-facing arched windows, as well as a soaring Cathedral ceiling with the added ambience of a timeless chandelier - all which can be appreciated from above with the room’s openness to the upper level.
The breakfast area has the walk-out to the backyard - a sun-washed outdoor retreat that is fully fenced, and landscaped with trees, shrubs, and perennials. The extensive two-tiered interlocking stone patio - which includes a metal gazebo - offers ample space for barbecuing, relaxation, and entertaining; and the yard also features a flagstone walkway leading to a storage shed.
The lower level has a cold room and its landing is carpeted, with the remainder of the level unfinished and having great potential for future recreational and entertaining space - while the main level additionally features a powder room with a wooden vanity finished with a mosaic-tiled back splash and a stone counter; as well as a sunken laundry room with front load washer and dryer, cabinet and closet storage, as well as access to a double car garage.
The hardwood staircases to both the upper and lower levels have railings with wrought iron pickets - the upper staircase and hallways illuminated by an elegant light fixture, the upper hall also finished with crown moldings and open to the family room below on the southwest side, and with hardwood flooring showcased throughout this level.
Off the northeast hall is a large double linen closet, as well as the second, third, and fourth bedrooms - all which have windows with California shutters and double closets with single doors - with the fourth bedroom additionally featuring a ceiling fan and a vaulted ceiling above its arched window. These bedrooms share the main 4-pc washroom, which features a ceramic-tiled floor and bath area, crown moldings, a California shutter on its window, and a wooden vanity with lots of storage.
At the end of the southwest hall, through a double door entry, is the beautiful master suite. This relaxing personal space has light-diffusing blinds on its windows; a deep tray ceiling with a fan and accent pot lighting; and has space for a sitting area. Two walk-in closets are located off the short hall leading into its ensuite washroom - which showcases ceramic finishes throughout; a wood vanity with stone counter; crown moldings; a corner tub; as well as a glass shower with rainfall shower head.
This home is just a short drive to the Pickering Town Centre Mall, the GO Station, and has easy access to Hwy 401 - as well as being close to the shopping, entertainment, and waterfront enjoyment of Pickering’s beautiful Frenchman’s Bay community along Lake Ontario.

Pickering
In the fifteenth century, Pickering was home to the Aboriginal group known as the Huron. European settlement began in the area in the early seventeenth century, with most early British settlers moving into the area after defeating the French in the Seven Years’ War. The British named the town Pickering after the town in North Yorkshire, England.
In the early 1810s, there was a large increase of settlement from a large group of Quaker immigrants that came to the area from the Eastern United States. More recently, Toronto’s continuing growth has led to Pickering’s rapid growth.
