‘The homeowners ( t he husband was a commercial pilot and now the two run a large business together) decided to move to Burlington to enjoy a city/ country lifestyle,” says listing agent Rosanne Agasee of Forest Hill Real Estate.
This 70x108- foot property, in the Aldershot neighbourhood, is ideal for active families.
It’s close to LaSalle Park, as well as the lake, Burlington Golf and Country Club, LaSalle Marina and Burlington Sailing and Boating Club.
“Burlington is a nature lovers’ dream. Nestled on the shores of Lake Ontario, it affords residents the unbridled opportunity to intimately interact with nature. Feel like showing your kids a real live swan on a Sunday afternoon without going to the zoo? It’s a three-minute walk,” the home- owner says.
However Agasee says city life, including shops and restaurants, is also nearby. The GO station offers express service to Toronto and Aldershot School is also in the area.
“For those of us originally from Toronto that are lucky enough to call Burlington home, the benefits and the joy of being here are apparent each and every day,” the homeowner says. “Rich in history, architecture and a vibrant night life, it offers a safe haven and country-type friendliness.”
The owner says it also has its share of notable residents. “Captains of industry and notable celebrities” are among those who live in the community.
“This home is surrounded by multi-million dollar properties,” Agasee says.
The best features of 888 Park Ave. include the house, which was custom built five years ago. It has 17- foot ceilings in the main- floor family room and 14-ft. ceilings in the dining room. Fireplaces grace the family room, dining room and master suite.
The gourmet kitchen has a butler’s pantry. Luxurious finishes are featured throughout.
A laundry room, an office and the master suite are conveniently located on the main floor.
“A lovely covered terrace that gets the morning sun is great for coffee at breakfast and wine in the evening,” Agasee says.
The property is suited to gatherings year- round, she says. “It’s an entertainer’s dream home with interior and exterior space.”
“The French Chateau-style exterior is classic and stately, and offers spectacular curb appeal. It’s a very well finished home and shows like a model home,” Agasee says.
