Welcome to 1693 Yardley Street, a beautifully renovated four bedroom home with four washrooms situated within a sought-after neighbourhood of north Oshawa’s Taunton community.

Grey siding, a double car garage with dark grey garage doors, a stone walkway, and garden beds gives this home wonderful curb appeal - while a front door and sidelights with decorative glass inserts, as well as a wrap-around covered porch, offer an inviting entry into its absolutely stunning main level - where an open concept layout with a neutral decor, high ceilings, as well as oversized windows for maximum natural brightness, enhances the spaciousness felt throughout.

The formal entertaining rooms are fully open to each other, and have an understated aura of elegance and intimacy. Dinner conversations easily carry over into a living room with two corner windows and a half wall with a decor column separating it from the foyer - with this spacious reception area featuring two south-facing accent windows, a coat closet, and access to the garage. A modern farmhouse chandelier casts ambient lighting above a dining room that can accommodate large-scale gatherings, and which also has the convenience of direct access from the kitchen.

Th family room features the coziness of a gas fireplace surrounded by built-in cabinets with a deep mantle ledge and a media niche above it - with two east-facing windows on either side - and has the added brightness of pot lighting.

Pot lights also brighten the stunning custom kitchen - with this fully re-modeled space showcasing two walls of extensive light-coloured cabinetry complete with stacked upper cabinets, crown moldings, upgraded hardware, valance lighting, and pantries; stainless steel appliances including a French door fridge, a built-in microwave and dishwasher, as well as an oven with smooth surface cooktop and wood range hood cover; quartz counters; and stone back splashes that are tiled in a unique multi-tone floral design.

The storage cabinets of the huge centre island add a fresh splash of colour - the island also having glass pendant lights, seating on two sides, and a stainless steel double under mount sink - while completing the kitchen is a built-in chef’s deck with floating wood shelves, and a sliding door walk-out to the backyard retreat.

Luxury wide plank vinyl flooring flows seamlessly from room to room, and maintaining the open layout of this level, the family room has a half wall along the staircase to the lower level. The stairs to the lower mid landing and to the upper level have the timeless finish of dark-stained treads and rails with painted white risers - the upper staircase having the added accent of wrought iron pickets and a mid-landing finished with dark stained hardwood flooring.

Luxury wide plank laminate flooring seamlessly flows throughout this level, which showcases pot lights in the hallway; two washrooms; four spacious bedrooms - all which have updated lighting, large windows, and good sized closets; and the convenience of a laundry room with a front load washer and dryer, and a linen located just outside its door.

The third and fourth bedrooms are quite gracious in their size, with both featuring multiple west-facing windows, ceiling fan lights, and oversized double closets - while completing the common area is a 4-pc washroom.

At the east end of the hallway is an oversized double door entry into the exceptional master suite. Very generously sized, and having space for a sitting area by its oversized east-facing window - this personal retreat also showcases a walk-in closet, and a spa-like ensuite washroom with ceramic finishes throughout; a corner soaker tub with two corner windows above it; a vanity with stone counter and updated lighting; as well as a glass shower area.

The powder room is found off the lower staircase's mid-landing - and the fully developed lower level features wide plank vinyl flooring as well as pot lighting throughout.

The first of two distinct recreation areas has many uses, and has a closet as well as access to a large storage room — while a 2-pc washroom, as well as a walk-in storage closet are both found off the very spacious main recreation area.

Completing this home is its outstanding, and low-maintenance, backyard retreat - a summertime oasis showcasing an in-ground pool; extensive stone landscaping throughout most of the yard, which surrounds the pool and includes a sunken seating area; as well as a storage shed and garden beds.

A short walk to Norman G. Powers Public, St. Kateri Tekakwitha Catholic Elementary, and Maxwell Heights Secondary Schools - this home is also close to the SmartCentres Oshawa North Shopping Mall, with access to Hwys 401 and the 407 just short drives away.
