Highway 6 North from Guelph to Durham. Upon entering the Town of Durham, turn left onto Douglas Street A masterclass in mid-century modern design, this 3,925 sq ft bungalow is nestled within 53 acres of lush forest and gardensâa rare blend of architectural sophistication and natural retreat, with every detail meticulously maintained. As if drawn by Frank Lloyd Wright himself, this light-filled home invites the outdoors in. Sunlight pours into each space, and the layout is as clever as it is comfortable, spanning three distinct wings. The bedroom wing includes a generous primary suite with double closets and a vanity room with double sinks, leading into a 3-piece bath. Three more bedrooms with deep closets and yard views share a 4-piece bath with walk-in glass shower and double sinks. At the heart of the home, an expansive, window-lined hallway casts light into each room, framed by brick columns and bespoke hardwood floors. The oversized living room with a stone-set wood-burning fireplace, a separate dining room, and large family room make this space perfect for entertaining. The kitchen offers a masonry-framed cooking area, custom wood counters, bar top, cabinetry, updated appliances (2021), abundant storage, and casual dining for six. The final wing suits multi-generational living or guests, with a private bedroom and bath, separate entrance, office/den, laundry, and 2-piece bath. A 3-car, 900 sq ft garage, open-concept basement with 9â ceilings, and unfinished 1,620 sq ft addition offer endless flexibility. Outdoors, a 300m tree-lined driveway welcomes you into total privacy. This property has long been organically maintained and offers beautiful permaculture gardens and wildflower meadows. Wander the many walking trails, explore the mature perennial gardens, or simply breathe in the peace of fruit and nut trees, wild woods, and diverse ecosystemsâall just minutes from Durham.
