Smiths Falls – $259,900

Mother Nature is still sleeping, yet be reassured, as every other year, the earth will unfold in her own good time. PS.

Spring, the Eternal wake-up call, be assured it will be here before we know it! What Poet has not celebrated or written about it? Spring is energy, rebirth, and of course Spring is a time when the avid river enthusiast comes out of hibernation in search of the PERFECT waterfront Home.

Well, let me help you with that…

“Live your Dream of Waterfront Living” in this private neighbourhood, known as Hillcrest Drive, Appleton Ontario. Neighbourhood pride is reflected in the manicured streetscape, picture yourself in the captivating setting boasting a sense of tranquility known only to those who have had the privilege of riverfront living. This incredible peace and quiet may be briefly interrupted by the sound of the soft breeze or perhaps the far call of a resident loon. This phenomenal setting is strategically located within walking distance to the prestigious Appleton Golf course and the Trans Canada Trail.

The Village of Appleton is as charming as it is historical. This unique Village is one of the many remarkable historical communities that were established along the banks of the Mississippi River, also home to an exclusive Spa, “Saje Salon Spa &Wellness” well known for its Zen approach to care, and fabulous interior appointments.

Now let me introduce you to the prestigious residence known as “201 Hillcrest Drive” this captivating Mississippi waterfront setting invites a strong indoor-outdoor connection, passionately enjoyed by the current residents for the past decade. A design inspired by an Architect whose love of nature and ardour for panoramic views would ignite the senses of any photographer but more importantly, who possessed the architectural flair that only those passionately connected to the outdoors could. It is noteworthy that this home’s landscape has also been designed with thoughtfulness to its environment. Artistic, yet natural plantings of colourful shrubbery and perennials blend into the soul of this property. Endearing as your childhood days, this natural setting beckons you to recall simpler times. Canoe or kayak down the Mississippi River, believe me, the setting is spellbinding. Once in a while, right in the middle of an ordinary life comes an opportunity for change … why don’t you give it a try?

Let me now share some thoughts about the interior appointments and design of this unique Home. As we all know, direction is a powerful force in our lives—from how we get to the store, to where we find our calling. It’s no different when we design and decorate our Homes. The direction your windows face determine how much natural light enters the room, which ultimately alters your mood and changes the entire dynamics in a Home. Light can be used as one of the most versatile decorating tools, it can change everything; it transforms space and affects the character and ambiance. This particular custom design scores high on the character scale, showcased by; an expansive open concept, walls and walls of dramatic south-west facing windows, fabulous natural light and captivating views of Mother Nature at her best… This is truly a testament to the theory of the use of natural, uninterrupted light, to create a contagiously happy environment.
This elegant home is distinctively modern in every way with its gleaming hardwood floors, dramatic floor-to-ceiling wood burning fireplace, 9 foot ceilings on both upper and lower levels and an eclectic feel that comes only in a home of this calibre. PS.. It takes a great deal of creativity, sense of adventure and a love of the outdoors to create a dramatic waterfront home, especially one with a keen sensitivity to the natural site it so humbly occupies.

Lets now look toward warmer weather … Easy summertime entertaining can be enjoyed on Hillcrest Drive. Whether enjoying life on the banks of the Mississippi River, on the expansive Screened–in Patio, or in the comfortable Sunroom, that beckons you to enjoy a fun-filled family BBQ, your leisure activities are certain to be extended outdoors. Catch the warm sun’s rays during the day and the cool waterfront breezes at night. Whether Spring, Summer or Fall this private setting provides an array of colour, sights and sounds. The unspoiled vista of sun, sky and water is thoughtfully provided by underground wiring. Seeing is believing… Keep in mind… Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away…See you on the Mississippi!
