5 Fidelia Avenue

5 Fidelia Avenue is a rare find in Lawrence Park. This home is ideal for anyone looking for contemporary design on a lush treelined street. Boasting over 4500 square feet above grade, this custom built masterpiece was crafted by Lauren Homes. This home has a modern open concept floor plan and the finishes embody understated luxury. Step inside and absorb all that this quality custom built home has to offer.

The entry gives a superior first impression. The front foyer showcases the consistent finishes used throughout the home. The heated floors are porcelain, there is an algonquin limestone feature wall and a double closet that seamlessly blends into the panelled walls. The 10 foot ceilings balance the oversized front door which is most welcoming.

The magic begins around the corner. Again, the finishes are cohesive and will be appreciated as your eyes scan the open concept living space. The Great Room design offers 7 ½ white oak hardwood floors. White oak is also the wood of choice for the feature walls throughout this home. The lighting plan dictates the space for each room. The dining room light fixture is a work of art and the white oak panelled wall helps to define the space. The family room has two main focal points. The first being the entertainment wall. Feast on the 3-sided linear fireplace with porcelain surround with inlay lighting and the white oak panelled wall with low profile storage drawers. The second focal point is the glass wall with oversized sliding doors that spans the back of the home. The natural light sensational and the sliding doors bring the outside in.

The kitchen also provides an incredible view of the back patio, sundeck and pool. This eat-in kitchen has clean lines and contemporary finishes. The center island is massive and clad in a textured porcelain. The cabinets are white oak and seamless in design, there is even a hidden paneled door to a private butlers pantry. The top of the line appliances have been integrated into the space with minimal bulk.

The main floor library is a private space. The reeding glass pocket doors are the perfect transition into this quiet space. The floor to ceiling window overlooks the frontyard greenery. There is both open and closed shelving which creates added interest and styling options. The ceiling has a linear panelling design and subtle cove lighting offers additional design interest.

No home of the caliber would be complete without a main floor powder room and mudroom.  The powder room has impressive finishes from the heated porcelain tile floors to the raised hexagon tiled backsplash. The faucet and handset is one- of-a-kind and a rare find in a residential home. The mudroom has direct access to the garage. There is also side door access to a heated walkway that connects the front and backyard. The built-in cubbies are ideal for storing outdoor clothing and accessories.

Head upstairs and note how the dark panelled wall contrasts the solid white oak staircase. The primary suite spans the back of the house and overlooks the backyard pool and landscaping. The bedroom can be lit with soft cove lighting and there is a smaller version of the family room entertainment wall with open shelving, storage drawers and media center. The walk-in closet is a dream. Nothing was overlooked in the organization of the custom closet system. The skylight brings in subtle natural light as there is a custom ceiling screen that tempers the sun's rays. The 5-piece ensuite is pure pleasure. The space has been planned with care and the warm spa-like features and finishes will impress.

Three additional bedrooms span the front of the home. In each room the natural light is special. Large 2 sided windows overlook the treelined street. Each room comes with its own ensuite bathroom and walk-in closet with organizers. The cove lighting and automatic blinds run on a Crestron system will be appreciated. The second floor laundry is full sized with front load washer and dryer, laundry sink and ample cabinetry for storage..

The lower level is impressive with 9 foot ceilings throughout. The catch all recreation room offers flexible space. There is an entertainment feature wall, but plenty of additional room for a designated games area. The built-in wet bar with a mini fridge will save from running up the stairs to the kitchen. If fitness is a priority, the home gym is impressive. This glass enclosed room has wipe-clean flooring and mirrored wall which helps with form and technique. A fifth bedroom with 3-piece ensuite is perfect for guests or live-in help. Finally, there is a room hidden behind a panelled wall- this space screams potential theatre room.

The exterior of the home offers a modern aesthetic. Choice materials of limestone, brick, wood and large aluminum clad windows contrast the natural greenery that surrounds the property. The limestone driveway has a hydraulic snowmelt system. The same goes for the walkways and rear patio that surrounds the pool. The double car garage has a commercial grade garage door opener and the flooring is a non porous epoxy finish. The backyard has been fully fenced with sleek metal fencing, including additional privacy fencing.

The backyard is truly special. The crystal clear saltwater pool is the main focal point. It is surrounded by a limestone sun patio and connected poolside cabana. The cabana is climate controlled and can be used year round, however, the bi-fold doors will be well used in the summer months. The cabana has the same impeccable finishes as the main house with heated limestone floors, outdoor kitchen and custom panelled walls. For the ultimate convenience, there is even a 3-piece bathroom/pool change room. Off the back of the house is a covered patio with an open flame fireplace. This outdoor room is ideal for al fresco dining and entertaining.
