<p>Designed with Vision, Crafted with Skill, Located for Lifestyle</p>
<p>Inspired by the welcoming charm of Oakville’s historic district, this home embraces the efficiency of contemporary construction with today’s modern amenities. Architecturally inspired by the elegance of Muskoka and New England charm, this home was professionally designed by local architect William Hicks in 2010.</p>
<p>This Hampton-Style home boasts over 6,877 sq. ft. of luxury living with seven bedrooms &#038; seven luxurious baths, two gas fireplaces and three timeless Rumford wood burning fireplaces, custom-crafted staircases, extensive trim work, special ceiling design &#038; detailing, beautifully honed materials of granite, marble, limestone, and face-framed custom cabinetry &#038; hardware. The lower level, designed with an abundance of light and versatility offers a second kitchen, nanny suite, additional bedroom, theatre or exercise room, recreation room and radiant in-floor heating for the comfort of any family member.</p>
<p>Timeless elegance and unsurpassed craftsmanship sympathetic to heritage quality construction only begin to describe the character of this wonderful home’s exterior with custom wrought iron gate work and custom designed lanterns. Professionally designed landscape with stone finishes and walkways complement an extensive array of lush perennials, a salt water pool and relaxing patios to create a warm ambience for summer gatherings with family and friends. The ratio of scale between property and home was designed to optimize curb appeal, create pleasant views as well as privacy. Aplty named, “Forestwood” the street is reminiscent of cottage country with beautiful pines and tree views that bring a further sense of sanctuary to this elegant home.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://qstudios.ca/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/a.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-223" title="Getting your home ready for photographs" src="http://qstudios.ca/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/a-300x199.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="199" /></a></p>
<p>When you book a photoshoot with us, usually it is assumed that the home will be photo-ready on the day/time that the photoshoot is scheduled.</p>
<p>What exactly do we mean photo-ready? To us, when the photographer arrives, the photographer should be ready to shoot immediately.</p>
<p>What is &#8216;not&#8217; photo-ready? There are too many reasons for a house not to be ready to photograph. For starters, if the home has the following lying around, it is a good indication that the home is not ready for photos:</p>
<ul>
<li>paint cans</li>
<li>tools/ladders</li>
<li>laundry (clean or dirty)</li>
<li>vaccuum</li>
<li>a stager, or contractor <img src='http://qstudios.ca/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </li>
<li>anything that will &#8216;ruin&#8217; a good photo</li>
</ul>
<div><strong>Please respect the photographers time&#8230;</strong></div>
<div></div>
<div><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="line-height: 24px;">In general, your listing probably is not the only photoshoot our photographers will have that day.  We never want to have a photographer late for an appointment. Although it is not the job of the photographer, they will usually help out by moving ladders and paint cans to help get the house ready.  This will inevitably will push back the remaining photoshoots that day.<strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"> In fairness to everyone, PLEASE, have your listing ready for the arranged time.</span></strong></span></span></div>
<div></div>
<p>If you need help getting your home ready, please read a blog post we wrote back in March 2011 that will give some tips to get the home ready.</p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;"><strong>Please read: <a title="Getting Your Home Ready For Real Estate Photos" href="http://qstudios.ca/blog/?p=23">Getting Your Home Ready For Real Estate Photos</a></strong></span></p>
<p><em><strong>If you feel that the listing will not be ready for the scheduled date/time, please call us ASAP to reschedule. Please remember that we require 24hrs notice to cancel/reschedule a listing. There will be a small penalty fee for cancellations with less than 24 hours notice, or if the photographer shows up to the home and the home cannot be photographed.</strong></em></p>
