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.

A short walk to Shadybrook Park; and close to the Amberlea Shopping Centre, as well as public and Catholic schools - 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.
