474 Taunton Road W, Ajax – Open House Video Tour

A rare opportunity to experience country living in the city, welcome to 474 Taunton Road W, a wonderful four bedroom brick bungalow situated within the Duffins Crossing neighbourhood of Northwest Ajax. Nestled on 2.67 acres of land with the Greenwood Conservation Area just beyond its backyard – this exceptional property is surrounded by majestic mature trees, has a lush tree canopy at the very rear, and offers unparalleled privacy year-round.

Evergreens line the driveway on its west side, while hostas and other perennials fill the garden bed on the east side. Concrete walkways surround both the home and its oversized detached garage, while stone steps lead to a south-facing front entrance opening into a spacious and welcoming tiled foyer.

Also south-facing, the living room has two oversized windows allowing for abundant warm natural light, and has the added coziness of a wood-burning fireplace with a floor-to-ceiling stone mantle. This room, the dining room, the den, the hallways, and the bedrooms all showcase the home’s original oak hardwood flooring, and throughout this level are wood trims, baseboards, and interior doors.

Above the dining room is an exquisite vintage chandelier – and directly off this intimate entertaining space is the eat-in kitchen. With both south- and east-facing exposures, the kitchen also features ceramic flooring and back splashes; a stainless steel double sink; wood cabinetry; as well as an oven with smooth surface cooktop, and a fridge with bottom mount freezer. The windows here are quite large – as are those in the dining room, den, and the bedrooms – and all allow for ample natural brightness, as well as beautiful outdoor views of the greenery surrounding the property.

Off the hallway is a broom and pantry closet, plus a coat closet; an extra wide sidelight allows natural light to spill into the foyer; and there is another coat closet off the lower staircase’s mid-landing – while the den, which can be used as a bedroom, itself has two single closets.

The separate walk-in shower and the floor of the 5-pc washroom are finished with mosaic tiles; the tiled bath and shower area is accented with a mosaic border; and the remaining walls have been partially tiled, as well.

The three remaining bedrooms are spacious and have large double closets – with the master bedroom having a north-facing exposure, the second and third bedrooms both having west-facing exposures.

The lower level of this home, although unfinished, has a very large layout offering an amazing opportunity for future finished recreational and storage space. This level has been framed, has a laundry area and a brick fireplace, as well as oversized above grade windows throughout – and with a separate entrance from the backyard, also has potential as an in-law suite.

Within the backyard area is a detached two car brick garage that also has workshop space; a wood-fired brick barbecue; and a large vegetable garden with a combined greenhouse and storage shed.

With 2.67 acres of property, though – golfing enthusiasts may consider converting a portion of the backyard into a putting green or driving range, and to put your practiced skills to the test – Deer Creek Golf Club, with its championship courses, is just a seven minute drive away.

Surrounded on all sides by majestic deciduous and evergreen trees, the vastness of the backyard has also been separated into two distinct sections by a chain link fence with a gate, this rear portion of the property lush with vegetation and having two outbuildings.

Just north of this property is the Greenwood Conservation Area, public and Catholic schools are close by, and with the Meadow Ridge Plaza shopping mall close at hand for everyday conveniences – this home is minutes to the restaurants and boutique shops within historic Pickering Village, and enjoys proximity to many of Ajax’s exceptional amenities – such as indoor and outdoor sports and fitness facilities, recreational and community centres, the Durham Centre Shopping Mall, Lakeridge Health Ajax Pickering Hospital, the GO Station, as well as quick access to Hwy 401 – and Ajax’s beautiful Waterfront Park with its over seven kilometres of trails along Lake Ontario is also a short drive away.
