Pickering takes three of five most expensive homes sold last month in Durham in but Uxbridge #1

A four-bedroom home in Uxbridge – the “epitome of luxury” – took the top spot as the most expensive home sold in Durham Region last month, with the stone and brock bungalow selling November 1 for $2.9 million.

The selling price for the 5,000-plus sq. ft. home was $20,000 over asking but $221,000 less than the selling price just 15-and-a-half months before.

The home, nestled in the prestigious Foxfire Estates in Uxbridge, offers 3.03 acres of open space with plenty of mature trees on an extensively landscaped property with multi-tiered decks and a saltwater pool.

Inside is a great room with a 15-foot vaulted ceiling, a gas fireplace, a wall of windows, hardwood floors and a gourmet kitchen.

The finished basement boasts a gym, another fireplace, two more bedrooms and a media room, as well as a bar area featuring a barnwood accent wall.

The 6,000 sq. ft showpiece home, which sold for $2.54 million – $238,000 under asking – has a chef-inspired kitchen, a fully furnished basement and gorgeous landscaping, giving it wonderful curbside appeal.

Taking the third spot in the most expensive homes sold in Durham in November is a two-bedroom executive home at 10 Tidmarsh Lane in Ajax which sold for $2.3 million.
