A rare opportunity to own a truly special estate in the heart of Richmond Hill. Set within the prestigious Bayview Country Estates, this 5-bedroom, 4-bathroom home sits on a remarkable nearly 2-acre premium lot, surrounded by mature trees, lush greenery and beautiful custom-built residences.

With community security patrol in the neighbourhood, the setting offers an added sense of comfort and peace of mind. The home's desirable north-south orientation and generous windows welcome beautiful natural light throughout the day, creating bright, warm spaces that change gently with the sunlight. Approximately 9-10' ceilings, hardwood floors, crown moulding and large picture windows bring an airy elegance to the main level, while the graceful curved staircase leads to a skylit upper landing and spacious bedrooms overlooking the treetops. The bright white kitchen features built-in appliances, a curved centre island and a sun-filled breakfast area with a walkout to the patio and expansive private backyard-perfect for morning coffee, summer gatherings and quiet evenings surrounded by nature. The lower level offers an exciting opportunity to create something entirely your own, with approximately 9' ceilings, large windows bringing in natural light and a 200-amp electrical panel. Ideally located in a highly sought-after top school zone and close to prestigious private education, including Holy Trinity School (HTS), with easy access to Hwy 404, Gormley GO, parks, nature trails and Summit Golf Club. The auspicious address carries traditional associations with prosperity, abundance and good fortune, adding a subtle and meaningful touch to this exceptional home.
