Country Colonial

Nestled within three acres of rolling woodlands in King Township, this 1980’s home is now the perfect blend of traditional elegance and modern functionality. Architecturally inspired by the charms of New England's century homes, this property, a sanctuary for a dynamic family of four, underwent a transformative renovation - despite its great bones, the property was dated for contemporary living.

Avid travellers, the family sought to infuse some European charm into their home. The 5-bedroom residence features a kitchen that marries English country house style with the French brasserie aesthetic. A custom cabinet’s antiqued mirror glass, intricately stencilled with bistro elements, was a collaborative endeavour with a local graphic artist.

The primary bath was designed to provide a tranquil respite from the hustle of their daily lives, inspired by the old world elegance of France’s chateaux. Selections included a gilded antique mirror, crystal chandeliers and unlacquered brass finishes that promise to develop a rich patina over time.

The mudroom, reminiscent of a traditional English stable room, boasts Victorian-era floor tiles which were sourced abroad. In addition, millwork details and traditional wallcoverings were used throughout the home to add instant charm and offer a nod to the past.
