49 Hanson Crescent, Whitby

You love Brooklin - the schools, the parks, the trendy new restaurants, the small-town rhythm. But for the discerning buyer, most homes here still wear their original finishes and await a full renovation. This one doesn't. A head-to-toe reimagining of a Tribute home that rivals a custom build - no contractors, no compromises, just move in. On a premium 50' x 120' lot on a quiet, family-friendly crescent, it offers over 3,000 sq ft plus a finished basement - 4+1 bedrooms and 4 baths. Curb appeal announces itself: sculpted landscaping, a stone walkway, and designer lighting on dimmers. Inside, a heated-tile foyer gives way to a sculptural white oak staircase wrapped in glass - a true architectural centrepiece. The living room soars beneath a two-storey window wall and orb chandeliers, and the dining room dazzles with a coffered ceiling and lantern chandelier. The kitchen is the showpiece: two-tone white oak cabinetry, Emtek hardware, a 4' x 12' porcelain island grounded by walnut butcher block, pot filler, a full KitchenAid suite, and a concealed pantry-bar. It opens to a great room with built-in media wall, gas fireplace, and integrated sound, with a 10' screened walkout to a backyard resort: multi-tiered deck, timber pavilion, outdoor kitchen, oversized hot tub, and mature-cedar seclusion. Upstairs, a loft office floats above the living room behind an open glass rail - custom double-desk cabinetry, panelled shelving, and brass hardware make a true work-from-home retreat. Secondary bedrooms feature custom built-ins and share a designer Jack & Jill bath. The primary is a sanctuary: moody feature walls, his-and-hers closets, and a spa-caliber ensuite with freestanding soaker tub, frameless glass shower with dual rain heads, oak vanity, and brass sconces. The finished lower level adds a rec room, wet bar, fifth bedroom, and full bath. And the location seals it: minutes to the 407 and 412, and steps from Brooklin's new recreation centre. This is Brooklin, elevated.
