Welcome to 53 Hester Avenue, a stunning three bedroom John Boddy-built executive home with three washrooms set on a premium corner lot within the prestigious, and highly sought-after, Pickering Village neighbourhood of Central West Ajax.

Showcasing an impressive exterior of brick and stone, beautifully landscaped garden beds and an interlocking walkway from the driveway to the backyard gate, as well as two-storey stately exterior columns with its front entrance - this home opens with oversized polished floor tiles gleaming in its inviting foyer, and to the right of this space are decor columns gracing the arched entryway into the formal living room.

Brightened with pot lights, this beautiful entertaining space has a west-facing bay window with a deep ledge, as well as another south-facing bay window, for ample natural brightness - both complete with light-diffusing blinds which provide privacy, as well. Enhancing the airy spaciousness of the room is a subtle neutral decor - which is seen throughout the home - and the dark hardwood flooring which finishes this room is also showcased in the elegant formal dining room and the hall.

French doors open into this lovely entertaining space, which features a contemporary light fixture with a ceiling medallion, as well as a west-facing bay window, which is also complete with light-diffusing privacy blinds.

Across the hall is the gorgeous custom gourmet kitchen and its breakfast area. Finished with upgraded floor tiles throughout, the kitchen showcases a double wide farmhouse sink; subway-tiled back splashes and quartz counters; cabinetry with exceptional storage that includes a large pantry; as well as a stainless steel appliances. Pot lights brighten the kitchen, while above the breakfast area is a contemporary pendant-style chandelier -- and beyond the sliding door walk-out is a fully fenced backyard that has a large interlocking patio area; raised garden beds and a greenhouse; a two-storey shed; as well as an outdoor wood-burning pizza oven.

A handrail accompanies the hardwood stairs to the mid-level, the railing complete with wrought iron pickets as it continues with the stairs to the upper level.

At mid-level is an incredibly spacious and naturally bright family room showcasing a vaulted ceiling with an elegant light fixture; north- and west-facing windows, all with light-diffusing blinds; wood wall display shelves with pipe brackets; as well as dark hardwood flooring - and for added coziness is a gas fireplace with a stacked stone facade finished with a wood mantle shelf.

Above the upper level hallway is a skylight, with this level showcasing hardwood flooring throughout, three spacious bedrooms, and two washrooms.

The main 5-pc washroom features upgraded floor tiles; a water closet; a vanity with upgraded basins and lighting; as well as a tiled bath and shower area. The second and third bedrooms both have west-facing exposures - with the third bedroom featuring a modern light fixture and ample closet storage, while the second bedroom has a ceiling fan light and a double closet.

Very generous in its size, the relaxing master suite has a contemporary light fixture to complement the natural brightness of a south-facing exposure, its window complete with light-diffusing blinds. This beautiful personal space also features a walk-in closet, plus a double closet for linen and clothing storage - while its ensuite washroom has a spa-like aura and showcases upgraded floor and shower wall tiles; a step-up corner jetted tub; a river rock floor and accent border with its glass shower; the privacy of a water closet; and a vanity with drop-in basins and an upgraded vanity light.

The main level also features a double coat closet in the foyer; a laundry room; as well as a powder room. Both of these rooms feature upgraded floor tiles, which also finish the steps and sunken landing leading to both an unfinished lower level - and to what was the double car garage, but converted into a very spacious second family room showcasing a high ceiling with pot lighting, two sliding door walk-outs, vinyl plank flooring, plus a wall-mounted sink — and this room can be converted back into garage space, if desired.

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.
