207 Borland Drive

$253,000

THE AREA

Borland Drive is the key street servicing Borland Valley Estates.  Borland Valley is located east of 150 Mile House, BC, off Pigeon Road.  This is a popular rural residential area consisting of mid and high end homes on small acreages.

THE PROPERTY

207 is a 2 acre lot across the street and just steps away from a pond that serves as a water fowl and wildlife sanctuary.  Used for ice skating in the winter, and supporting all sorts of unique and interesting creatures in the summer, the pond is a focal point of this rural setting.  This lot is quite level with some domestic lawn but mostly natural vegetation cleaned, thinned and maintained.

THE HOME

This is an incredible home, built by the owner who has had 48 years in the construction business.  All materials appear to be first class and the owner can explain where every piece of material came from.  The home was created for a large family and it's spacious sized rooms not only impress guests, they allow for lots of activity.

MAIN FLOOR

The main floor is the upper level.  While it can be reached from the imposing front stairway to a beautiful, ceramic tile  foyer with lighted guest closet, it is generally entered through the lower level side entrance.  The main floor is beautifully "expansive".  It allows for huge family gatherings and will handle massive entertaining needs.

KITCHEN

The kitchen is truly impressive.  The cook has more than enough room to work with extensive counter space and a large center island kitchen.  The ceramic tile flooring speaks to the quality and style used throughout the home.  The Natural Gas stove features heavy duty grease extractor fan for those really big cooking binges!  By the way, the dishwasher is power by a 1/2 horse motor.  Just for convenience, the kitchen offers a doorway out to the sundeck.

LIVING ROOM

The Living room was created for formal entertaining of many guests.  It is a perfect room for any large, close family or a multitude of guests.  A Natural Gas fireplace adds to the ambience.  There are several good size windows to make this room so comfortable year round.

DINING ROOM

Formal dining is a snap with this layout.  Directly off the kitchen, the dining room can handle a very large gathering while maintaining a homey and comfortable feeling.  Bring your best dining room suite and enjoy being able to formally host anyone you could imagine.  Here there is a sliding patio door to the sundeck.

MASTER BEDROOM

This is more than a master bedroom.  It is a luxury suite!  I suspect any bedroom suite will fit with ease and you will be so delighted with the walk in lighted closets.

The ensuite is incredible.  A massive jet tub, large counter area and wonderful separate shower are some of the features of the ensuite.  The ceramic tile flooring and well designed layout will ensure that you enjoy the privacy and elegance of this suite.

BEDROOMS

All bedrooms are fitted with lighted closets.  All are quite large and all are bright from the large windows.  Never mind the children, be aware that any visiting adults may enjoy whichever bedroom so much they decide to stay!

The bedrooms are serviced by a spacious main bath which also offers ceramic tile flooring. 

LOWER LEVEL

Just a few steps below ground level at the front and virtually ground level at the back, you will certainly not feel like you are a basement here.  The large windows and plenty of natural light make this floor very appealing.  Entry is gained from the garage side to the Family room foyer.  Entry can also be gained from the back yard into the Laundry/Utility area. 

FAMILY ROOM

The Family room is a wonderful entertainment center.  It also offers a Natural Gas fireplace and the flooring is carpet.  Two great features are the windows, and the open arrangement with an absolutely gorgeous Bar Room.

The country bar is beautiful.  It is a first class area for visiting and entertaining.  Together with the Family Room, you will find lots of reason to hold many happy gatherings here!

BEDROOMS

There are either 3 bedrooms or there are 2 bedrooms plus an office or Den on this floor.  Either way, you will have space for everything and nearly anyone.  As on the main floor, all rooms are spacious and well crafted.

The lower level is serviced by a very nice and spacious bath which, of course, also features ceramic tile flooring. 

SUMMER KITCHEN

The lower level offers a wonderful summer kitchen for anyone wishing to do lots of canning, or to provide separate cooking arrangements to service the bar and family rooms.

The utility serves to gain access to the back yard, provide laundry and house the household services such as furnace and water softener.
 

MISCELLANEOUS NOTES

Each room features crown molding at ceilings, lighted closets and rounded corners on gyproc walls.  The builder also used high end baseboard construction to ensure the look of style and quality was carried throughout each room.  It will also please you to note that stairwells and hallways are 4 feet wide to allow easy carrying of any house hold items.

By the way, even the attic is lighted.  Access is gained from the main floor foyer closet.  Most rooms are wired for telephone and cable, most ceilings are textured.
