155317 7th Line, Markdale, ON
The Wodehouse Manor is a luxurious country home located in Grey Highlands just a 90 minute drive to Pearson International Airport, 25 Minutes to Collingwood & Blue Mountain, and minutes from the top of the Beaver Valley Ski Club.
Situated on a 1.7 acre lot, it actually feels much larger because it abuts Wodehouse Creek Conservation Area a 750 Acre parcel of Crown and Conservation Land on the Escarpment. Adjacent to the house is the Bruce Trail for hiking, snowshoeing and is abundant with seasonal waterfalls.
The house is not visible from the road. It is secluded and private with no immediate neighbours and the lot is nestled amongst maple, pine and spruce trees. There are a few juniper bushes, but overall very little grounds maintenance is needed. The original outbuilding still stands with a new window, steel roof, stabilizing concrete floor and reinforced beam post which serves as a great storage building.
The main house is brick with 2 1/2 car garage and parking for 5 vehicles. Built in 1888, there is very little left of the original structure, as the entire house was re-built and historically referenced to the original structure in 2002.
The principal rooms are spectacular with cathedral ceilings with Douglas fir beams and walnut hardwood flooring. The living room is simple but sophisticated with many fine architectural details and one of the 6 fireplaces in the house is located here. The dining room is large enough to house a table seating 12 and has a fantastic floor to ceiling bay window overlooking the south facing deck. A welcome spot for Apres Ski. Overhead you can see the exposed scissor trusses, preserved from the original structure, as were the huge windows, now all high efficiency Lowen Brand.. A testament to the architectural integrity of this re-build.
The kitchen is a Chicago birch custom kitchen with honed marble counters, high end Miele, Thermador and Viking Pro appliances, Viking propane stove with bbq and quiet professional grade exhaust fan. Expansive island with seating for 2, substantial storage space and display cupboards and all open to the rest of the level for enjoyable entertaining. Within this open concept main floor are simple inviting spaces like the Breakfast and Library nooks. Great for games and puzzles or quiet reading time.
Just off the kitchen is the fantastic 3 season room with vaulted ceilings, propane fireplace and massive screened windows that open. This room catches the sun rise and the sunsets. On this level is a 2 pc powder room and custom laundry room with modern appliances, stainless steel counters & sink and built in pantry.
On the second floor are 2 bedrooms with fine Douglas Fir floors. Crossing the open bridge, leads to the lavish master bedroom with inviting 2 sided gas fireplace which adjoins the lavish ensuite bath. Enjoy the warmth from the bed or soaking in the tub. Marble floors, antique sinks, claw foot tub, onyx counters and glass shower tiles, all will appeal to the most discerning buyers.
The second bedroom on this upper level, is very private with another ensuite with etched marble detailing. Your guests will appreciate all the fineries this suite has to offer.
The house has been carefully planned allowing for 3 very distinct zones for space and sound. The front foyer has travertine heated floors lining a bright hallway leading to Zone 3, the west wing of the house, with guest suite. Everyone will be clamouring to get to this upscale private bedroom with pine floors, another fireplace, and ensuite bathroom with pedestal sink again with the finest workmanship and details. Around the corner, over the garage is the Hobby Room, with lots of natural light and plenty of space for your favorite leisure activity, and attached is another room now an office. This could all easily be transformed into additional bedrooms if desired.
The lower level, Zone 2, has two unique bunkies for overflow guests, each has their own closet for storing personal belongings and share a bathroom with steam shower with clever fold up b ench. Down the hall is the media/family room with large screen TV, 6 surround sound speakers, fireplace, built in shelving.. From here walk out the double french doors to the back yard with wood trellis, ledge rock patio stones and hot tub.
The 2.5 car garage is partially being used for a home gym area, so at this time has only one usable parking area. It has toasty heated floors and large workshop, backup generator, lots of storage and separate heat source. This could be easily converted back to all parking.
It is difficult to convey the thousands of fine details and years of planning that went into designing this spectacular home. Simply put, a hallway is not just a hallway. Come and have a look, you will be drawn in by its charm and craftsmanship.
