Room to Grow: Inside 1823 Dencourt Drive, Amberlea
There’s a particular kind of buyer who comes looking in Amberlea — someone who’s outgrown their current space, or who’s thinking about the next twenty years rather than the next two. 1823 Dencourt Drive is built for exactly that kind of family.
Set on a 49 x 146 foot lot — larger than most of what comes up in this neighbourhood — this 2,772 square foot home offers 4+1 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms, with the kind of layout that gives everyone their own space without losing the sense of a shared, connected home.
A Layout That Works for Real Life
The updated kitchen sits at the centre of the main floor, with a large island, seating for casual meals, and under-cabinet lighting that keeps the space functional after dark. It opens directly into the family room, where a fireplace and custom built-ins anchor the everyday gathering space. Hardwood flooring runs throughout, tying the principal rooms together.
A separate, formal dining room — with wainscoting and a crystal chandelier — gives the home a dedicated space for entertaining, distinct from the more casual family room and breakfast area. That kind of separation is increasingly rare in newer builds, and it’s part of what makes a home like this one function well for multi-generational living.
Upstairs, bedroom sizes are generous across the board. The primary suite includes a sitting area, second-floor laundry, and an ensuite with heated flooring — small details that add up to genuine day-to-day comfort.
The basement is fully finished, adding a recreation room, a 3-piece bathroom, and a flexible space with potential as a fifth bedroom, home office, or fitness room, depending on what the next family needs it to be.
Outside, the lot size is the standout. A private interlock patio and mature landscaping give real room to entertain or simply enjoy quiet evenings — something that’s genuinely hard to find at this size in Amberlea.
Why Amberlea
Amberlea has built its reputation over decades on mature, tree-lined streets and a strong sense of community — the kind that doesn’t get manufactured overnight. Families move here and tend to stay, which says something about what the neighbourhood actually delivers day to day.
The area is served by a strong roster of schools, including Highbush, Elizabeth B. Seton, St. Mary’s, and Dunbarton, and offers easy access to parks, shopping, restaurants, and commuter routes — the GO Station, 401, and 407 are all within easy reach, making Amberlea a practical choice for anyone balancing family life with a commute.
A Neighbourhood We Know Well
I’ve been farming Amberlea since 2003, and in that time I’ve listed more than 250 homes in this community. That kind of history isn’t something any agent can claim overnight — it comes from two decades of walking these streets, watching families move in and grow, and staying close to a neighbourhood I’m proud to call home.
If you’re thinking about what your own Amberlea home might be worth in today’s market, I’d be glad to put that experience to work for you. Reach out any time for an honest, no-pressure conversation about your home’s value and your options.
