Markham is usually recognized for neighborhoods where every home appears to have come from the same few designs. Stumbling upon a vast, timber-framed forest estate that seems like it belongs in a high-end Muskoka brochure is akin to finding a misplaced semicolon in millions of lines of code – technically feasible, but astonishingly rare. And yet… here’s 4138 19th Ave. A layout of the entire property. Tucked away on an impressive 12 acres of thick, super-private woodland, this bespoke timber-frame home resembles what you’d expect after a couple of hours driving north, navigating a winding gravel path, and having at least one near miss with wildlife.
The entrance area.
Instead, it’s just a quick drive from Highway 404.
The dining area.
The moment you enter, the house greets you with exposed beams, rich knotty pine accents, and large windows that illuminate each space with views of your own secluded forest.
The recreation room in the basement.
This is rustic luxury without the lengthy commute.
A sleeping area.
This five-bedroom, four-bathroom residence is all on one level as it’s designed as a bungalow.
The kitchen space.
The kitchen comes equipped with built-ins, ample cabinetry, and a sun-drenched breakfast nook.
The great room area.
However, the true highlight is the octagonal great room featuring a full-height stone fireplace.
