The Place

A four-plus-one-bedroom, six-bathroom house off Highway 20 in Burlington with a view of Mount Nemo—almost a hybrid between cottage life and urban living. It’s within walking distance of Lowville Golf Club, and motorists are a short drive from downtown Burlington as well as the 403 and 407.

The Tour

The long, winding driveway is flanked by manicured gardens.

In the foyer: a solid wood front door, a regal cabinet and travertine ceramic tiles.

Next is the family room, which has a wood-burning fireplace with quartz surround, coffered wood ceilings and floors all the way from North Carolina. Note the extraordinary view of Mount Nemo from the grand windows.

Here’s the dining room, with a painted panel ceiling and French doors that lead to the backyard (more on that later).

The adjoining kitchen comes with a Viking gas stove and a hidden Sub-Zero fridge, plus both a dishwasher and a coffee maker from Miele.

The wine cooler can be found in the butler’s pantry, equipped with plenty of storage for glassware and other knick-knacks.

A multitude of cubbies and drawers provides tons of storage in the mudroom.

Same with the laundry room. The washer and dryer are both Miele.

This bathroom can be accessed from the pool and has a dog shower.

Here’s one of the offices, with a reading nook and more mountain views.

The ground floor is also home to the main suite.

Its ensuite bathroom has a water closet and a huge drop-in tub.

A reverse angle reveals the spa-like walk-in shower and cabinet vanity.

There’s also a jumbo walk-in closet here, with custom organizers and a make-up station.

Heading upstairs highlights this secondary bedroom overlooking nature.

The secondary bedroom also comes with an ensuite.

As for the basement, it has a nifty storage room that leads to a temperature-controlled wine cellar.
