Orléans, Ontario
Once a Tamarack Sales Centre, I was built to impress — and trust me, I still eat McMansions for breakfast.
My centerpiece? A family room with a cathedral ceiling so tall you’ll wonder if you need FAA clearance to hang a ceiling fan, plus a stone fireplace that practically screams, “light me up and pour the wine.” Add in reclaimed ashwood mantel and shelves that look like they were stolen straight from a Pinterest board, and yeah — I’m showing off.
Space? I’ve got it in spades. A four-car driveway (your monster truck, your EV, your teenager’s beater, AND the in-laws can all squeeze in). Out back? Go wild. The very private backyard can be your nature sanctuary, or you can build that coach house for your parents to stay when they visit, rake in Airbnb income, or install a pool and declare yourself the king of BBQ season. As for maintenance, you don't have enough time, and want low-maintenance? My perennials and mulch have you covered. Or maybe you have plenty of time, and fancy yourself a future Instagram influencer? Perfect — go full cottage-core with a veggie patch and spend weekends pretending you’re in Better Homes & Gardens. You can do it all!
Evenings here are pure vibe. Picture yourself sprawled on the oversized porch, or sipping “grape juice” under the gazebo while fireflies put on a light show. (Yes, it’s basically a free Netflix subscription, but with bugs.)
Inside, I make an entrance — literally. A wide foyer with a custom bench for your shoe collection (or to hide the mess you swore you’d clean) plus a closet roomy enough for jackets, backpacks, and the occasional guest who doesn’t leave. Hosting dinner? My wainscoted dividing wall in the dining room lets you serve the fancy meal while hiding the dishes, then escape to the living room to argue over who plays guitar the best.
And the kitchen? Oh, she’s a diva — oversized, wide open to the family room, with ceramic floors that say classy but spill-proof. The island doubles as a snack bar, buffet station, or dance floor, depending on your Friday night energy. Cabinets? Enough to finally justify buying every gadget you see on TikTok.
Work from home? I’ve got more office-ready nooks than a Starbucks. Plus Fibe and Rogers at the door — so the only time your Zoom freezes is when you fake it to dodge a meeting.
Upstairs, the magic continues: a loft overlooking the cathedral family room (for spying on whoever’s sneaking snacks at midnight), a primary suite that unapologetically hogs a third of the floor, and three more generously sized bedrooms with real closets — not those “hope you like wire shelves” disasters. Bathrooms? Counter space for toothbrushing turf wars, toddler chaos, and yes, those decorative towels nobody dares touch.
I’m not just pretty; I’m practical.
Stairs with carpet, because hardwood + socks = guaranteed faceplant. Everywhere else? Gleaming hardwood, thank you very much.
Storage everywhere? Yes!
A Nest thermostat to keep bills in check? Yes!
Laundry room that actually makes sense (not some sad closet wedged between two doors) and not next to the kids bedrooms for a better night sleep for everyone? Yes!
Separate entrance to the house to hang laundry outside? Yes!
Large laundry tub to wash your delicates or the dog? Yes!
Powder room tucked away so no one hears (or smells) all the details of your visit? Yes!
And my basement? I’m basically a choose-your-own-adventure novel. Want a playroom? Gym? Hockey arena? Wine cellar? Already there!. Or slap up a few walls and boom — income suite. It's ready for immediate hockey tournaments or for a future man-cave / she-shed, or split the space. Whatever you desire, my layout is practical and so spacious! I even have a "movable" cedar closet for those bulky winter jackets or those pants you really want to keep.
I’m stylish, functional, playful, and low-maintenance — basically the unicorn of family homes. My current family would have stayed forever, but their new dream spot came with 15 acres, fruit trees and a river (rude). So now, it’s your turn.
The question isn’t should you buy me. It’s: can you keep up with me?
Great Features to know
New shingle roof in 2017
New furnace and air conditioner in January 2024
New hot water tank in 2016
New refrigerator in 2022
New stove / oven and dishwasher 2024.
I have a four space locker in the garage to dry your sports gear, because no one gets excited about hockey gear in the house.

If you are wondering about my measurements, I feel like I'm boasting but here they are. My floorplan was changed a little to during the build, specifically the window and cove in the front left bedroom. I have a 8ft x 8ft alcove off the room and they added a bigger window.
