PARADISE! What if home could feel less like the place you return to-and more like the place you never want to leave? Custom-built and thoughtfully transformed throughout the 2020s, this property brings everyday comfort and VACATION-AT-HOME enjoyment together in one beautifully considered setting. Light moves easily through both levels, while generously proportioned rooms, minimal hallway space, and 9-ft main-floor and 8.5-ft lower-level ceilings create a sense of ease, scale and possibility. The layout offers remarkable FLEXIBILITY for family life across generations. Main-floor living is practical and refined, with replacement windows, newly refinished hardwood, and a 2025 primary ensuite featuring heated floors that continue into the shower. The kitchen opens directly to the 2025 deck with a natural-gas barbecue connection, making daily meals and entertaining easy. The bright lower level offers substantial windows, direct garage access, a gas fireplace, recreation space, bedrooms, office potential and room to adapt as life changes. Then the SOUTHERN BACKYARD changes the pace entirely. A HEATED SALTWATER POOL, expansive concrete patio, finished waterfall and exceptional three-season POOL HOUSE create a private retreat for summer days. Its refreshment centre and enclosed change room make poolside hosting feel effortless. Beyond the pool are generous lawn for games and gatherings, mature trees, full privacy fencing, a custom firepit retreat with five loveseat swings, extensive raised gardens, and a custom gardener's shed designed to echo the pool house. Keep all, some or none of the raised beds-the choice can be yours before closing. Parking for TEN VEHICLES, including an oversized double garage, supports busy households, hobbies and memorable celebrations. Within Shadow Ridge Estates, the real luxury is having room to come together or spread out, host or retreat, and shape each season of life around what matters most-all with exquisite style and exceptional living.
