A stately country house in Whitby sitting on a staggering 13 acres of forested land. Located off Anderson Street, it’s a short drive to Whitby’s downtown strip but far enough from city life to feel like an escape.The current owners, Bob and Judy, were living nearby and raising their three kids when they came across this property in 1991. Bob was eager for a slice of cottage life, and Judy wanted to stay close to Whitby, so the spot seemed like the perfect compromise.
This laundry room down the hall has a built-in gift-wrapping station, and its large porcelain sink is great for prepping flower arrangements. The estate’s painting studio sits at the end of the second-floor hall. That railing on the right overlooks an escape ladder.daring escape isn’t your thing, you can reach the basement via the winding staircase.Here’s that ensuite, with a double vanity and a raised shower.
