About This Home

As of September 2025

This beautifully updated 4-bedroom, 4-bathroom Northgate Builders home offers breathtaking views overlooking the 8th fairway of Eagle Ridge South Golf Course and a peaceful stream. Located in the heart of The Galena Territory’s resort core, this home is just a short drive to Eagle Ridge Resort, multiple golf courses, and a variety of amenities. The main level features an open floor plan with a wood-burning fireplace in the living room and a newly heated four-seasons room, perfect for enjoying the scenic surroundings year-round. The recently remodeled kitchen showcases custom shiplap accents around Corian countertops, open shelving, and a Bosch dishwasher (2020). All four bathrooms have also been beautifully updated with shiplap walls and Italian porcelain tile for a fresh, modern look. The upper level is home to a private master suite featuring a spacious master bath with elegant marble tile flooring, a whirlpool tub, and a new shower system. The lower level is designed for relaxation and entertainment, offering a gas fireplace, a wet bar, and a walkout to a stamped concrete patio with gorgeous golf course and ravine views. Throughout the home, you’ll find stunning wood-clad ceilings in the living room, kitchen, and lower level, along with beautiful woodwork details. Recent updates include a new hot water heater and water softener (2021), and the home is also equipped with a radon mitigation system for peace of mind. This home is move-in ready and provides central water and sewer for added convenience. The GTA has previously approved plans for a garage! With its prime location, exceptional updates, and picturesque setting, this home is a must-see in The Galena Territory!
