Welcome to 78 Willowbrook Drive, a stunningly renovated four bedroom home with three washrooms situated within a well-established and family-minded neighbourhood of Whitby’s desirable Pringle Creek community.
This detached brick home has a double car garage, a new interlocking driveway and front walkway, and a nicely sized fully fenced backyard - while also showcasing two levels of beautifully updated living space well-suited for growing families, and having a bright open layout that is ideal for entertaining.
The foyer is open to above, and showcased throughout the main and upper levels are wide plank hardwood flooring and oversized upgraded tiled flooring, LED pot lighting, upgraded baseboards, plus a freshly painted neutral decor.
The formal entertaining spaces are fully open to each other - the living room bathed in natural light through an oversized west-facing bow window, while brightening the dining room is light through a south-facing bay window and the glow of a modern farmhouse light fixture suspended from an octagonal shaped tray ceiling.
Sidelights with the front entrance allow natural light to permeate the foyer and reception areas, off of which are a coat closet, two separate hardwood staircases with wrought iron pickets to the mid and upper levels, a bonus room with a French door entry that can be a den or a home office, as well as hardwood steps to a sunken landing to access the lower level - which offers fantastic storage, and while unfinished, has exceptional future potential for recreational and entertaining space.
Light spills into the family room through two east-facing windows, with this wonderful gathering space centred around a wood-burning brick fireplace, and having a large wall cut-out that opens it to the adjacent kitchen area.
Also enjoying an east-facing exposure - the incredibly bright and beautifully updated kitchen showcases quartz counters and back splashes; a new stainless steel double under mount sink, dishwasher, oven with smooth surface cooktop, and French door fridge; as well as crisp white cabinetry with contrasting dark hardware, plus a matching pantry for additional storage in the breakfast area - this space having a sliding door walk-out onto a stone patio in the backyard, as well direct access to the formal dining room for entertaining convenience.
Also off the reception area is a powder room, its vanity having a quartz counter and upgraded lighting; as well as a sunken laundry room with a new front load washer and dryer, a secondary coat closet, a side door entry, and access to the garage - with the stairs next to the powder room leading to a mid-level family room that is an ideal entertaining area flooded with natural light through the three windows along its west wall.
Above this family room and the landing of the curved hardwood staircase are upgraded light fixtures that emit warm, soft white, or day light at the flick of a switch - while suspended from the 20’ ceiling of the foyer is a modern metal chandelier that complements the natural light streaming through its second storey window.
A linen closet is found outside the entry to the main 5-pc washroom - which features upgraded tiles surrounding its corner tub, and finishing the walls of the walk-in shower area, as well as a new vanity with a quartz counter, under mount basins, and upgraded lighting.
The third and fourth bedrooms both feature walk-in closets and upgraded lighting - the third bedroom also having three west-facing windows, with the fourth bedroom having a south-facing window - while the second bedroom, which also features an upgraded light, has a north-facing exposure and a double closet.
Through double doors is the impressively sized master suite. Showcasing a generously sized bedroom area, upgraded lighting, windows along its east wall for abundant natural light, and a combined sitting and dressing area across from its spacious walk-in closet - this exceptional personal retreat also showcases a gorgeous spa-like ensuite washroom with corner windows allowing for bright natural light, upgraded tiles finishing a glass shower with rainfall and hand-held shower heads, as well as a new vanity with a quartz counter and upgraded lighting.
With no neighbours behind, and a short walk to Ormiston Public and St. Matthew the Evangelist Catholic Elementary Schools, as well as Forest Heights Park and the Maple Glen Forest - this home is also close to the Whitby Towne Square Shopping Mall, the Whitby Civic Recreation Complex, plus a wide variety of retailers and restaurants along Taunton Road - with the Entertainment Centrum, the Heber Down Conservation Area, waterfront parks along Lake Ontario, the GO Station, and access to Hwys 401 and the 407 all just short drives away.

Whitby
Whitby is named after the seaport town of the same name in Yorkshire, England. The original name “Whitby” is Danish, and translates to “White Village”.
Whitby’s natural harbor along Lake Ontario was an important aspect to trade and early settlement. In particular, the transportation of grain from farmland relied upon this route.
Of interest to note is that during World War II, Whitby was the location of Camp X, a secret spy training facility.
Although statistically classified as being in the Durham region, Whitby is often referred to as part of the Greater Toronto Area because of its close proximity and due to the fact that it houses many commuters.
