The residence features a hand-rocked stone exterior, steeply pitched rooflines, symmetrical façade, and soaring chimneys. A long private drive leads to a circular gravel courtyard, while oversized windows capture panoramic views from sunrise to sunset. Ideally located in a quiet Waterloo enclave, with the Grand River at one end and Canada’s tech hub at the other, this is a rare offering on prestigious Country Squire—known for estate living, acreage, and exceptional privacy. A custom 9-ft mahogany door opens to an interior defined by scale: 10-ft ceilings, wide-plank oak floors, vaulted tongue-and-groove ceilings, exposed Douglas Fir beams, and iron accents. The dining room is ideal for entertaining, filled with natural light. The gourmet kitchen features double islands, quartz counters, beverage fridge, and Thermador appliances including gas range, double ovens, and full-size fridge/freezer, plus pot filler and farmhouse sink. The home offers 5 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms, including 4 ensuites with heated floors. The main-floor primary suite features vaulted ceilings, fireplace, hidden sunroom, and a spa-like ensuite with walnut vanity, glass shower, and soaker tub. A loft leads to a private suite and lounge. The finished walkout basement includes a fireplace, gym, sauna rough-in, 3 ensuite bedrooms, and a large rec room. A secondary staircase connects to the 6-car garage with EV rough-in. Premium systems include 600-amp service, Viessmann boiler, natural gas, and 4-zone HVAC. In-floor heating extends through key areas. With 4 fireplaces and a timber-framed rear porch, this estate offers seamless indoor-outdoor living. The grounds are a blank canvas for a luxury landscape or private retreat.
