Welcome to 1886 Shadybrook Drive, a beautifully updated 3+2 bedroom home with five washrooms situated within Pickering’s highly sought after Amberlea community.
Featuring a brick and stucco exterior; a double car garage with opener and remote; as well as a stone walkway to the front entrance - through glass-panelled double doors is a main level showcasing both hardwood and upgraded tiled flooring; pot lighting, gorgeous contemporary light fixtures, and crown moldings; as well as an open concept layout with graciously sized principal rooms - a home that is a delight for entertaining.
Windows along the south wall allow natural light to spill into the formal living room; into a powder room finished with mosaic-tiled walls; and into a formal dining room that has the ambient lighting of a two-ring pendant-style modern chandelier.
The family room, the sunroom, and the kitchen enjoy the natural lighting of their west-facing exposures - the family room’s bay window having a deep ledge - with the elegantly updated eat-in kitchen showcasing light-coloured cabinetry with a pantry; stainless steel appliances including a built-in wall oven and microwave, dishwasher, gas cooktop, and French door fridge, as well as a stainless steel double sink; stone tiled back splashes; and a quartz counter - while oversized polished floor tiles define the space of this beautiful and functional work area.
A stacked stone feature wall in the family room surrounds a gas fireplace with a white mantle and a stone accent facade - and off this space is a sliding door opening to the sunroom, which features vinyl plank flooring and floating storage cabinets, as well as a garden door walk-out to the gorgeous and premium sized backyard. Surrounded by mature trees for summertime shade - the yard has a tiered deck providing abundant entertaining, dining, and relaxation space; a storage shed; features both stone and perennial landscaping; and there is also staircase access to the lower level from the backyard.
Off the foyer is a double closet with opaque panelled doors, behind which is both coat storage and a laundry area with stacked front load washer and dryer - while curving gracefully to the upper level is a dark-stained hardwood staircase with wrought iron pickets.
This level showcases hardwood flooring throughout its three bedrooms and the upper landing area - the landing also finished with pot lighting and crown moldings; a large linen closet; as well as two washrooms - with both the second and third bedrooms having double-sized closets, and good sized west-facing windows that provide views of the backyard. Adjacent to the second bedroom is the main 4-pc washroom, which has been finished with crown moldings and upgraded tiles throughout; has a soaker tub and a large window in its bath and shower area; and features a vanity with stone counter and upgraded light fixture.
Illuminating the staircase and main level reception area is a cascading chandelier - and through double doors is the master suite, which is bathed in light streaming through a large east-facing window. Having two double-sized closets - this retreat features a 3-pc ensuite washroom with upgraded tiled finishes throughout; a shower area with sliding glass doors; as well as a vanity with stone counter.
Other important recent updates to the home include its roof, furnace and air conditioning, the hot water tank, as well as the windows - and the home also features a self-contained and fully finished lower level that has its own separate entrance, offering added living and entertaining space, while also being ideal as a basement apartment or an in-law suite.
Featuring laminate and tiled flooring throughout - this level also showcases a very spacious bedroom with a double closet that has a 4-pc ensuite washroom; a recreation room that can combine living and dining areas, and which has access to storage and pot lighting; while pot lighting also brightens a kitchen showcasing mosaic-tiled back splashes and stone counters, ample cabinetry storage, as well as a stainless steel double sink, oven, and fridge. Behind sliding doors off the staircase landing is a laundry area with front load washer and dryer; while a bonus room off the recreation area that can be a second bedroom has the walk-up entrance to the backyard, a closet, as well as a 2-pc washroom with a Euro vanity and upgraded light fixture.

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.
