31 Meikle Drive Stately executive home in Maitland Park Estates. From the moment you drive into Maitland Park Estates, you recognize that it is a neighbourhood of families enjoying their homes and their yards. Properties and gardens are well landscaped, lawns are large and lush and trees and shrubs are abundant. Meikle Drive has local traffic only, away from the busy city streets. Maitland Park has a way of attracting people who are looking for a particular way of life. This sub division was established by homeowners who could achieve a sense of neighbourhood, bonding familes and providing services to the community (hence MERC). Homes were built to have diversity yet intermingle comfortably along tree lined streets. Curves and turns accommodate the geography of natural slopes and groves of mixed trees. Established in the historical village of Maitland, on the shores of the St. Lawrence River, this location allows for an easy commute to the city of Brockville as well as enabling one to work in Ottawa, or as we have seen more often lately, the USA. Lying immediately south of the 401 Highway, and a few minutes drive to Johnstown International Bridge, Maitland provides a desired location in which to live. 31 Meikle Drive is the epitome of a true family home. Upon entering the spacious ceramic tiled foyer, one is awed by the sweeping semi-circular staircase which leads to the home's second level. Visitors have a glimpse of the family room ahead and the formal living room to the left. The beamed family room adjacent to the kitchen, features large windows overlooking the picturesque rear yard as well as a fieldstone wall with gas fireplace. This area, at 19 feet x 13 feet, is perfect for informal entertaining, as well as family get togethers - a cozy room for holiday gatherings. The kitchen is an absolute delight for the family cook. With the convenience of a counter top stove, wall over and built in dishwasher, efficiency of meal preparation is a given. Cupboards are plentiful and include a pantry and built in desk area, plus a dividing island, to set apart the dining nook. Patio doors lead from the eating area to the screened in porch. Today's homeowners are spending more time in the outdoors, enjoying their gardens and this home has been built to take advantage of the vistas. With the screened in verandah at the rear of the home, overlooking the above ground pool, family members can relax at day's end, with a swim, a barbeque or just kicking back and savoring the sun setting in the west. Completing the home's main level is a two piece powder room. On the second floor, five generous sized carpeted bedrooms await. The opulent master suite - at just over 22 feet, has a private five piece ensuite and his and her dressing vestibule. The main bathroom, with expansive counter and two separate sinks, serves the remaining bedrooms. The home's lower level is unspoiled, giving room for excellent storage or for future finished living area. 31 Meikle Drive, with a double vehicle garage, solid 2 x 6 construction, all brick exterior, central air, above ground pool, impressive interior, 5 bedrooms, main floor family room with fireplace, gourmet styled kitchen, spectacular setting and much more, this is truly a dream home, a nothing to do but move in and enjoy. --
