From the moment you arrive, the wide driveway and stone landscaping set the tone. In the evening, the outdoor lighting showcases the house and the wooded lot. Everything is in place for move-in: appliances, generator, alarm system, central vacuum and window coverings are included.

On the main floor, the slate and wood entrance hall leads to a living room of nearly 25 ft, where the stone-clad wood fireplace sits alongside built-in bookshelves. The dining room hosts large family meals and opens onto the deck. The kitchen, worthy of a chef, is made for those who love to cook and entertain: a wood island, a farmhouse sink, a gas cooktop, a built-in oven, two refrigerators, a wine cooler, plenty of storage and a walk-in pantry. While guests settle in at the counter, the meal comes together without anyone getting in the way. The screened porch stretches the outdoor season. A laundry room and powder room complete the floor.

Upstairs, the primary bedroom has a large walk-in closet. You'll also find a second bedroom, a sitting room and the bathroom. The large room of nearly 24 ft, with track lighting, is currently an artist's studio: bedroom, family room or workspace, the choice is yours.

In the basement, French doors open directly onto the yard. The family room warms up around the gas fireplace, and the home theatre, with its projector, screen and speakers included, is ready for movie nights. A bedroom, an office that can become a fifth bedroom and a second bathroom complete the level.

Out back, the sunny deck with its electric awning looks out over nature and the mountains, and onto the lake once the leaves have fallen. Below, the covered patio and the stone fire pit invite you to end the day outdoors. The heated double garage and the generator with transfer panel add peace of mind.

Just across the street, less than 200 m away, your private waterfront lot on Lac Raymond and its dock are waiting for swimming, paddleboarding, kayaking or canoeing.

The advantages of living in Val-Morin

Lac Raymond is a peaceful lake, with a municipal beach and boat launch. The P'tit Train du Nord, less than 200 m away on foot, takes you by bike to Val-David and beyond. The Val-David-Val-Morin regional park offers more than 60 km of hiking and mountain biking trails, and the 18-hole Val-Morin golf club is less than 10 minutes away by car. Between Sainte-Adèle and Val-David, restaurants, shops, pharmacies and services are just minutes away, as are Route 117 and Highway 15.

Here, the day goes from the dock to the trail, then ends around the fire. A home to enjoy all four Laurentian seasons, year-round or for the weekend. I invite you to come and visit.
