497 Kingston Rd W, Ajax, Home for sale

A magnificent and historically important century house, welcome to 497 Kingston Road West, a grand “Heritage Designated Home” situated in the vibrant Pickering Village community of Ajax.

Known as “The Bertrand House”, and first constructed around 1874, this home is an excellent example of late Victorian eclectic architecture, showcasing polychromatic brickwork, romanesque arched windows, fascia boards, and ornamental eaves brackets.

The Old World charm and craftsmanship has been preserved throughout much of the home, and features such as the interior entryways, staircase, and window trim; the high baseboards; as well as the ceiling crown mouldings and medallions are much like they were 140 years ago.

Refinished red pine hardwood floors are found in the beautiful formal living room with cozy fireplace, and the grand formal dining area that can seat up to 12 people for large dinner parties.

The kitchen is completely updated to modern standards, and features an L-shaped counter with breakfast seating, smooth top stove, and double sink; incredible cupboard and pantry storage; access to the backyard and lower level; under cabinet and pot lighting; built-in oven; and a newly tiled floor which flows to the adjacent breakfast area.

Open to the kitchen, this bright, light-filled space has a built-in work desk and overlooks the family room, with a 2-pc powder room found off to the side.

The spacious family room centers itself around the warmth of a fireplace surrounded by built-in shelves and cupboards, with finishing touches including hardwood floors, crown molding, wall trim, and high baseboards.

A sliding door walk-out opens to an expansive interlock patio with hot tub, and the in-ground pool and deck area. Surrounded by mature trees, the fully fenced back and side yards can easily accommodate outdoor parties in excess of 100 people, and a large backyard shed provides ample storage for outdoor furniture as well as pool and yard maintenance equipment. (Please note, the gazebo IS NOT INCLUDED with the sale of the home)

A back staircase from the family room leads to a second level space that is fully carpeted, and can be used as a home office, a sitting room, or as a fifth bedroom for this level.

As like the kitchen, all of this homes washrooms have been updated to modern standards, and the 4-pc family washroom features a classic vanity with under mount basin, corner soaker tub, and a separate glass-enclosed shower area.

Red pine hardwood flooring is found in the second level hallway and in all four remaining bedrooms. The secondary bedrooms have ample closet space, as well as large windows bringing in plenty of natural light to the rooms.

The graciously sized master bedroom is complete with a modern vanity with under mount basin and a glass-enclosed shower in its 3-pc ensuite, as well as a large walk-in closet.

A great space for teenagers, the third floor loft has many potential uses. The two large rooms found on this level can be used as additional bedrooms, library and study space, media room, or to suit personal needs.

Reminiscent of the Victorian era, a cozy landing area off the main staircase is a wonderful light-filled space for reading, to fill with lush household plants, or a display area for antiques and personal treasures.

Access to the the lower level is found off the kitchen, and features a fully carpeted, spacious recreation area, from which there is access to a large room ideal as storage and cold cellar space.

Situated on just under three quarters of an acre of land, in a park-like setting, this is a truly majestic house that has been updated to today’s standards while maintaining many of its historical features.
