Welcome to 1509 Garland Crescent, a wonderful 3+2 bedroom home with three washrooms situated within a high-demand, family oriented neighbourhood of Pickering’s Amberlea community.

Its double door entrance opens into a ceramic tiled foyer, where hardwood staircases with carpet runners lead to the main and lower levels.

Hardwood floors gleam in the side hall, and throughout the open concept living and dining rooms - beautifully combined entertaining spaces which are brightened with pot lighting, while windows along their south wall allow for natural light. A hardwood railing maintains an openness between the foyer and these elegant rooms - allowing them to benefit from the natural and ambient lighting from another south-facing window, an arched transom, and a hurricane light - while the Cathedral ceiling of the foyer also enhances their spaciousness.

The main level principal rooms and bedrooms are all brightened with pot lighting, and their windows also have transoms - some with a graceful arch - to maximize natural brightness, and the sliding door walk-out off the kitchen’s breakfast area has a transom, as well. Enjoying an east-facing exposure, the naturally bright kitchen showcases upgraded polished floor tiles; a glass-and-stone mosaic-tiled back splash; exceptional cabinetry storage that includes a large pantry; a stainless steel side-by-side fridge/freezer, oven with gas cooktop, and built-in dishwasher; as well as new quartz counters and a new stainless steel double under mount sink. The walk-out opens onto a raised deck with a tiled floor that is convenient for year-round barbecuing - with the deck stepping down to a nicely sized and fully fenced backyard with a patio area and a storage shed.

The master suite has a generously sized bedroom showcasing hardwood flooring; a vaulted ceiling above its large east-facing window; space for a sitting area, as well as a walk-in closet — while its lovely 4-pc ensuite washroom features ceramic finishes throughout; a soaker tub; a glass shower area; and a vanity with a quartz counter.

The side hall off the living room has a double linen closet; this level’s second bedroom, which is finished with hardwood flooring and has a double closet; and the main 4-pc washroom, which features a ceramic-tiled floor and bath area, as well as a vanity with quartz counter — while a set of hardwood steps leads to the third bedroom, a spacious and private retreat that features hardwood flooring, a vaulted ceiling above its window, and ample closet storage.

The foyer also features a double coat closet with mirrored doors, which has an open area above it with a deep ledge that is ideal for displaying treasured keepsakes or for indoor greenery - and the lower staircase leads to a landing finished with oversized ceramic floor tiles, off of which is a laundry room with access to a storage area under the stairs, and which includes a washer and dryer.

The landing’s ceramic flooring is continued through a set of French doors, and into the open concept kitchen and recreation area of the finished lower level. Ideal for added household living space, with its separate entrance from the backyard, this level also makes a great two-bedroom in-law suite.

The kitchen has impressive cabinetry storage, a stainless steel double sink and an oven with smooth surface cooktop, as well as ample counter work space with seating at the peninsula - and the recreation space can accommodate a dining area and a cozy family room. Pot lights brighten the recreation area and the hallway — off of which is a washroom and two bedrooms - the first and larger of the two having an oversized above grade basement window, a wall niche for a media unit or a desk, and a double closet with mirrored doors. The 3-pc washroom features a Euro vanity, as well as a tiled floor and walk-in shower area - while the second bedroom has been updated with wide plank laminate flooring, and also features an oversized basement window and ample closet storage.

A short walk to Altona Forest Public and St. Elizabeth Seton Catholic Elementary Schools, and to Summer Park to access the Altona Forest trail system; as well as being minutes by car to the Amberlea Shopping Plaza, Dunbarton High School, and St. Mary Catholic Secondary School - this home is also 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.
