17 George Street, Markham

WINTER WEEKEND VIBES ON GEORGE ST Friday's here, the week tried to take us out, and we're pretty sure dinner at Folco's is the only thing keeping us alive. Luckily, it's a quick winter waddle down Main Street-no driving, no scraping ice off windshields, just frosty fresh air. Wine, pasta, the kids high on gelato, and then boom-sugar crash. They're out cold in their cozy freshly-made beds. Our bedroom? A winter retreat. Custom closets, spa-worthy shower, enough space to pretend we're at a luxury ski chalet (minus the skiing).Tomorrow's winter hangout down the street calls for a little pampering. Good thing the ensuite steam-me-back-to-life shower was built for moments like this. Meanwhile, the kids have claimed the finished basement as their winter bunker-movies, games, giggles, and a full bedroom/bath for sleepovers that somehow always involve popcorn stuck to the floor. Sunday is food + fam. The kitchen shines with high-end finishes, quartz counters, and that gorgeous blue island giving serious "fancy hot cocoa" energy. Charcuterie, jazz on the built-in speakers, and desserts chilling in the butler's pantry-it's the warmest spot in winter. And Monday? Hockey tryouts. Thankfully Markham Hockey Arena is just a quick zip away-even with hockey bags, winter boots, and everyone pretending they're not cold. This isn't just a house. It's a whole winter lifestyle .You belong here.
