1543 Ovens Rd, Newtonville - Open House Video Tour

Welcome to 1543 Ovens Road, an exceptional 3+1 bedroom home with three washrooms, situated on a cul-de-sac and surrounded by a private rural setting in Clarington’s Newtonville community.

Set on a property that is approximately an acre in size, this two storey brick home has a long driveway with ample exterior parking; an oversized single car garage with two man-doors — one from the driveway, the other opening to the backyard; is lined with hedges and trees; and the huge, south-facing backyard has existing vegetable garden beds, a storage shed, and tons of open space for outdoor enjoyment. A walkway from the driveway wraps around to the rear, where it meets an accessibility ramp for the backyard’s wood deck, which is covered by a pergola.

An interlocking walkways leads to the covered front porch and entrance, the door opening into a tiled vestibule, and which has another door opening into the main level itself. Throughout most of this level is immaculately maintained tiled flooring - while the family room showcases beautiful hardwood floors, and also has a corner gas fireplace surrounded by a brick wall, and having a stone hearth as well as accent pot lighting.

All the principal rooms have large windows (the west-facing windows are massive), and most have tiled ledges for display purposes or indoor greenery - allowing this level to be flooded with an abundance of natural light. The upper level windows are also substantial in size (most with ledges, as well) - and through all the windows are gorgeous outdoor views.

The living to the right of the foyer showcases huge windows with west- and north facing exposures, and its light-coloured tiled flooring, as well as its soft blue decor, gives this space a fresh, airy quality. The formal dining room is very generous in its size; enjoys a bright, west-facing exposure; and its vaulted ceiling has three elegant light fixtures for ambient lighting, while the Cathedral portion of its ceiling opens this entertaining space to the hallway on the above level.

A set of French pocket doors with beveled glass inserts opens to the adjacent breakfast area, which has a sliding door walk-out onto the deck, and a separate sliding screen door. The kitchen is quite functional, and offers a great working space that showcases a tumbled marble back splash; counter space with a raised bar and a built-in cutting board; cabinetry storage that includes a stand-alone pantry and a wood wine rack; ceiling panel lighting, and accent lighting above the stainless steel double sink; as well as appliances including a fridge, built-in microwave and dishwasher, and a stainless steel range with dual ovens and gas cooktop.

The side hall off the kitchen has a powder room; a laundry room with washer, dryer, cabinetry storage, and a built-in desk; access to the garage; and a secondary coat closet to complement the double coat closet in the foyer. To the upper level is a hardwood staircase with carpet runner, its hardwood railing continued along the hallway and along the open wall space above the dining room - while brightening the hallway are three west-facing clerestory windows.

Carpeted throughout, this level features three bedrooms and two washrooms - both the second and third bedrooms have double closets, the second bedroom also having ample space for a sitting area - and the common-use 4-pc washroom features a tiled floor and walls; an acrylic bath/shower area; a vanity with countertop basin; as well as a linen closet.

The spacious master bedroom has a west-facing exposure, and a large walk-in closet — while its beautifully renovated ensuite washroom showcases upgraded floor and shower wall tiles; a vanity with stone counter; a combined linen/clothing closet; as well as a 2-person glass shower with a wall niche and three shower heads.

The fully finished lower level showcases vinyl plank flooring and pot lighting throughout; a very spacious recreation area; and an equally spacious bedroom with an oversized basement window and two separate closets. In addition, these bedroom closets, a storage room, a storage area under the staircase, and a cold room all have interior automatic lights.

This home is within the catchment areas of Newcastle (Fr. Imm), Duke of Cambridge (Fr. Imm) and The Pines Senior Public Schools; St. Francis of Assisi and St. Joseph-Bowmanville (Fr. Imm) Catholic Elementary Schools; Clarke and Bowmanville (Fr. Imm) High Schools; as well as St. Stephen Catholic Secondary School (Fr. Imm).

The heart of Newtonville is a two minute drive away for a convenience store, postal services, and a car pool parking lot for those ride sharing and wanting quick access to Hwy 401 - while the nearby (and larger) community of Newcastle is just seven minutes away for most other major amenities.
