Some homes check boxes. This one tells a story. Built in 2017 by Duimering Homes and rarely offered for resale, this Drayton Ridge beauty sits in one of the quietest pockets of the subdivision. The kind of street where bikes are left on driveways, everyone walks their dog and neighbours know each other by name. Inside, the foyer sets the tone for the whole house. Soaring ceilings. Natural light pouring in. In the great room, a rare wood burning fireplace – the real kind – where winter evenings feel slower, warmer, and just a little more memorable. The kitchen is where this home truly shines. Thoughtfully designed with stunning finishes, generous cabinetry, and an oversized pantry that feels like a hidden superpower. At the centre, a beautiful butcher block island adds warmth and personality – and hides a clever pull out workspace made perfectly for tiny chefs, homework helpers, or an afternoon craft station while dinner simmers nearby. It’s functional, playful, and proof this home was designed with real family life in mind. Upstairs, you’ll find a layout that adapts to real life. Two of the kids’ bedrooms are currently joined, perfect for siblings who want to share stories long after bedtime (yet easily separated back into two private rooms if needed). The primary suite offers a quiet retreat with space to reset and recharge. And the ensuite won’t disappoint! Storage is everywhere – smartly integrated throughout the home, plus a fully finished lower level that adds flexibility for guests, teens, a home office, or movie nights. Step outside and you’ll find a fully fenced yard, ready for pets, play, and summer evenings under the stars. All of this in a peaceful community setting, with an easy commute to Guelph or Kitchener/Waterloo – giving you small town calm without sacrificing convenience. Quality built. Rarely available. Thoughtfully designed. Homes like this don’t come up often in Drayton Ridge.
