Property Description

Welcome to 1661 Kensington Drive, nestled on the eastern edge of the highly sought-after Willoughby Farms subdivision. This exquisite 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath Colonial home with a 3-car garage and full walkout basement sits on a large, private, nearly one-half-acre lot offering space, serenity, and natural beauty. With only one neighboring home to the north and no homes directly behind or to the south, you'll enjoy peaceful views and a private setting that feels worlds away while still being minutes from everything Algonquin has to offer. From the moment you arrive, the stately brick facade, manicured landscaping, and outstanding curb appeal set the tone for what awaits inside. Step through the front door and be greeted by a breathtaking two-story foyer highlighted by a stunning new chandelier. Fresh paint, new carpeting and updated lighting blending together to create a bright, modern feel while maintaining the warmth and elegance that make this house feel like home. The formal living and dining rooms are perfect for entertaining and special occasions. Continue into the spacious family room where a gas log fireplace creates a warm and inviting focal point. Adjacent is your bright beautiful sunroom providing the perfect place to enjoy your morning coffee, read a favorite book, or simply relax while taking in the peaceful backyard views. Entertain in style at the custom wet bar featuring new quartz countertop, abundant cabinetry, and under-cabinet lighting. The heart of the home is your incredible gourmet kitchen! You will be totally amazed at the amount of abundant cabinetry with pullout drawers providing exceptional storage, complemented by gorgeous new quartz countertops, a newly installed gas cooktop in the center island, new commercial-grade faucet, under-cabinet lighting, and stainless-steel appliances. You'll enjoy exercising your culinary talents while preparing gourmet meals for family and friends. Sliding patio glass doors from both the kitchen and sunroom) lead to an expansive wraparound deck overlooking your private backyard retreat. Enjoy morning coffee while watching the sunrise or relax in the evening as the occasional deer emerge from the wooded area beyond the property. The deck also includes a Napoleon gas grill connected directly to a gas line, so you'll never have to carry or refill those bulky propane tanks ever again! Upstairs you'll find three generously sized bedrooms plus your private primary suite sanctuary featuring a tray ceiling, ceiling fan, walk-in closet, and beautifully appointed en-suite with double sink vanity, oversized whirlpool tub, separate shower, and a skylight with an electric retractable blind. Need more space? The huge unfinished walkout basement is roughed in for a future bath and kitchenette and offers endless possibilities for a theater, recreation room, fitness area, or additional bedrooms. Your imagination is all that is needed. Want features? This home has them galore! Enjoy premium Lutron Caseta smart lighting, Nest thermostat, Chamberlain MyQ garage door openers, and seamless integration with Apple Home, Alexa, and Google Assistant, allowing you to control lighting, climate and garage access from virtually anywhere.
