Property Description

Situated in one of Ancaster’s most prestigious neighbourhoods, this extraordinary custom residence represents a rare combination of architectural excellence, timeless design, and exceptional craftsmanship. Designed by internationally recognized architect John Williams and completed in 2017, the home was conceived to balance grand-scale entertaining with comfortable everyday living. More recently, several thoughtful design enhancements were undertaken with the assistance of Lauren Kyle McDavid of Kyle & Co., further elevating the home’s already impressive aesthetic through a refined layering of finishes, textures, and custom details. Influenced by classic East Coast and Hamptons-inspired architecture, the exterior immediately captures attention with cedar shake-style cladding, substantial stonework, decorative corbels, a dramatic stone chimney, carriage-house garage doors, and a circular driveway that creates a true estate arrival experience. Professionally landscaped grounds, mature greenery, and disciplined hardscaping provide privacy without sacrificing openness, creating a setting that feels both elegant and welcoming. Inside, every detail reflects a commitment to quality. Oversized trim and baseboards, crown moulding, custom draperies, picture-frame panelling, built-in audio, designer lighting, and extensive custom millwork establish a level of finish rarely encountered. The grand foyer introduces the home with dramatic architectural accents, custom millwork, designer lighting, and striking black-framed details that continue throughout the residence. An elegant formal dining room offers a rich visual experience with its contrasting coffered ceiling, statement chandelier, extensive mouldings, and abundant natural light. The kitchen is a remarkable combination of beauty and function. Custom Wellington Millwork cabinetry extends from floor to ceiling, complemented by inset-panel construction, decorative mirrored accents, furniture-inspired detailing, extensive crown moulding, and premium Caesarstone quartz surfaces. A massive centre island accommodates seating for five or more, while professional-grade appliances include a Wolf dual-oven gas range, panelled Bosch dishwasher, dual integrated Thermador refrigerator/freezer combinations, and multiple workstations designed for effortless entertaining and everyday living. The adjoining great room serves as the heart of the home. A floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace anchors the space, while built-in seating, custom millwork, integrated media components, and walls of windows create an atmosphere that is both comfortable and refined. Six sets of French doors connect interior spaces to the surrounding grounds, filling the home with natural light and creating an effortless connection to the outdoors. Entertain in style within the stunning wine room and servery, complete with glass-enclosed wine storage, stone feature walls, black steel racking, integrated lighting, quartz surfaces, custom cabinetry, and dedicated WhisperKOOL climate control. A versatile main-level bedroom currently serves as a children’s retreat but could easily function as a home office, media room, study area, or secondary lounge. Nearby, a spa-inspired bathroom features a steam shower, frameless glass enclosure, designer tilework, and contemporary finishes. The mudroom and laundry area combine practicality and design, offering extensive built-in storage, custom bench seating, furniture-quality cabinetry, herringbone flooring, decorative backsplash details, and generous workspace. A dramatic staircase with contrasting black treads, white risers, substantial millwork, and architectural detailing leads to the second level. The primary suite is a private retreat featuring custom display cabinetry, a fully customized dressing room, integrated wardrobe systems, a dedicated office or vanity area beneath oversized windows, and a luxurious six-piece ensuite. Highlights include dual vanity stations, charcoal cabinetry, a freestanding sculptural tub, oversized dual-user shower, and a separate water closet. Three additional bedrooms provide exceptional accommodations. All feature walk-in closets – one with its own private ensuite bathroom. A beautifully appointed full bath finished with boutique-hotel-inspired materials and designer lighting rounds out the upper level. The lower level has been designed around entertainment, recreation, and lifestyle. With 9-foot ceilings throughout, the space includes a custom entertaining kitchen and bar, oversized island, theatre lounge with Optoma projector and retractable screen, games area, sports viewing zone, built-in speakers, gas fireplace, custom whisky display wall, fitness studio, guest bedroom, and a stylish three-piece bathroom. The gym is fully equipped with rubber flooring, mirrors, natural light, ample space to accommodate extensive fitness equipment, and direct access to both the exterior and the triple-car garage. Outdoor living rivals that of a private resort. A covered screened pavilion features cedar ceilings, built-in speakers, motorized screens, and commercial-grade heaters for extended seasonal use. Beyond, a custom outdoor kitchen, pizza oven, covered dining space, extensive stonework, and a stunning in-ground pool create an exceptional setting for entertaining family and friends. The pool is complemented by a heavy-duty motorized cover system that opens and closes at the push of a button. Located in Ancaster’s highly regarded Oakhill neighbourhood, residents enjoy proximity to top-rated schools, conservation areas, walking trails, golf courses, shopping, restaurants, recreation facilities, and convenient access to Highway 403, the Lincoln Alexander Parkway, and other major commuter routes. The neighbourhood is known for its mature streetscapes, executive homes, strong sense of community, and easy access to both urban amenities and natural surroundings. 147 Beverly Court represents a rare opportunity to own a thoughtfully designed custom residence where architecture, craftsmanship, and lifestyle come together in one of Ancaster’s most desirable settings.
