Christmas Tour of Homes

13654 Putnam Road

The current homeowners purchased this property in 2015 as an 80+ year-old, small, single-family farmhouse. Extensive remodelling and decorating transformed the old farmhouse into their home. A new addition of a two-storey attached dwelling in 2016, for the homeowner’s parents, has created two homes to be used by generations of the family to come. The property has been upgraded with extensive gardens, trees, a pool and swim spa, and the much-loved wood-fired pizza oven.

11480 Springfield Road

Built in 1870, this century home has undergone major renovations prior to the current owners’ purchase in 2021. Sitting on six acres, this property boasts a large barn which provides much-needed storage and a home for laying hens. In the backyard, check out the lovely pond and volleyball court. This home is the perfect venue for hosting family and friends.

26 Lawrence Crescent

This home is tucked away on a serene crescent, with sweeping views of trees, a creek, and parkland stretching behind it. Since 2016, the homeowners have been infusing their space with a minimalist, clean design that shines throughout the light-filled interior. The combination of concrete countertops and solid maple cabinets adds a touch of natural elegance. With a screened-in porch and an outdoor pool, the home offers the perfect retreat for all seasons.

200 Caverly Road

This raised bungalow, with its dramatic stone block façade, was built in 1994 by Mark Minor Homes. The current owners purchased the home in 2023. The lower level of the home features a large family room and adjoining games room. The upper level features a large living room, three bedrooms, and an eat-in oak kitchen. The beautiful two-tier deck allows for a bird’s eye view of the backyard.

Christmas Light Display

50928 Lyons Line

When the owners of this home married 17 years ago, the two started decorating their first house with lights, slowly growing their display every year. With an ever-growing display, they are currently sitting at just over 50,000 lights on the property. This comes with a good mixture of homemade items (from hand-painted wooden displays to other DIY projects) to over 550 vintage blow moulds (the hard plastic figurines from as far back as the 1960s).

Please note that this home is not open for viewing. Enjoy the wonderful display of lights outside of the home.
