About this home

The House on the Hill was originally designed as a bespoke country retreat, designed to take full advantage of its sweeping views and peaceful setting. Perched above what is now Grantham Recreation Park, it offers a rare combination of custom craftsmanship, flexible living spaces, and timeless design. The light-filled main level is designed for everyday living and effortless entertaining. Vaulted ceilings create an airy sense of space while helping keep the home cool in summer, while a pellet stove provides cozy warmth throughout the winter months. The living area flows seamlessly into the dining space and an exceptional chef's kitchen featuring a gas range, separate side-by-side refrigerator and freezer, a walk-in pantry, an oversized island, and the luxury of two dishwashers for effortless cleanup. The adjoining three-season room extends the living space outdoors, opening onto an expansive deck perfect for morning coffee, summer dinners, or watching fireflies dance over the pond and open fields of the park below. As evenings grow cooler, the beautifully terraced gardens lead to a welcoming fire pit the perfect gathering place for stories, toasted marshmallows, and s'mores under the stars. The upper level is completed by a truly exceptional primary suite featuring separate bathrooms—one with a spa-inspired multi-jet rain shower and the other with a soaking tub—along with an expansive dressing room thoughtfully designed with two distinct walk-in wardrobe areas, each offering generous hanging space and built-in shelving. Endless hot water and a dedicated home office complete the level, allowing comfortable single floor living without compromise. The walk-out lower level creates a private retreat for family and guests with additional bedrooms and bathrooms, a welcoming family room opening onto a slate patio and beautifully terraced backyard, a flexible room with a Murphy bed, and a bonus room complete with its own shower ideal as a home gym, yoga studio and more
