Castle-like Ontario mansion for under $3.5M has backyard overlooking the beach

In the heart of Pickering's Rosebank neighbourhood sits a stunning seven-bedroom mansion that's waiting for a family to call it home.

492 Rougemount Dr. combines custom luxury with a peaceful ravine setting. With proximity to Rouge Beach, Water Front Trail, and Petticoat Creek Conservation Park, you're just a short bike ride away from some of the city's most peaceful natural spots. 

Stunning architecture reminiscent of a castle.

The property makes a strong first impression, with a stone exterior, paver driveway, and fountain that embody elegance. 

No shortage of parking here.

And it's no less elegant once you step through the front doors. Soaring 10-foot ceilings and hardwood floors contribute to the home's overall sense of luxury, all while keeping practicality in mind. 

Floors so shiny you can see your reflection.

The great room is the heart of the home, with a domed ceiling and fireplace that invite families to sit and stay awhile. Two Juliette Balconies overlook the space, and a home office and entertaining area are only steps away.

A great room worthy of any gathering.

Built-in INVISIBLE Stealth in-wall speakers throughout the mansion provide totally out-of-sight integrated audio so that you don't have to sacrifice the minimalist aesthetic for incredible sound. 

Can you spot any speakers? Exactly.

The massive chef's kitchen is built for cooking, dining, entertaining, and making the most of every meal.

Elements like a generous island, dedicated pantry, and dining area make meals flow seamlessly, and brand-name appliances like Wolfe, Miele, and JennAir only sweeten the deal. 

Function meets style in the chef's kitchen.

The home has a total of seven bedrooms, with a total of two primary suites (each with its own ensuite) across both levels. It's an ideal layout for multigenerational living, allowing your family privacy and convenience all under one roof. 

Your own private retreat.

The backyard is an incredible feat of landscaping, complete with a gas fireplace, sprinkler system, and entertaining area. There's also a pretty sweet view of the beach.  

Summer nights hit different out here.

If you're interested in checking out 492 Rougemount Dr. for yourself, you can get in touch with realtor Sirat Kaur for a private showing. Or, you can attend one of the upcoming open houses, which are experiences unto themselves. 

The back side of 492 Rougemount Drive.

On Sunday, Oct. 25, you're invited to The Essence of Home, an open house that provides the chance to experience Rougemount in a unique, sensory showcase. 

Guests will explore the home and enjoy an interactive scent challenge featuring five fragrances from elite luxury houses like Maison Francis Kurkdjian. The guest who identifies all five unidentified scents correctly will win a signature Baccarat Rouge 540 fragrance.

Located minutes' drive from Highway 401 and Highway 707.

The second open house, Home for the Holidays, will take place on Sunday, Nov. 15, where guests are encouraged to imagine celebrating moments that matter at Rougemount. One lucky winner will walk away with a $250 restaurant gift card -- because what better way to explore the neighbourhood than with an evening out?
