RESORT-LIKE HOME ON LAKE ONTARIO

Resembling a private family resort, this 155x267-foot lot is double the size of any comparable properties in the area, says listing agent Paolo Zulian. “It has a private boat launch, an infinity-style pool, a practice golf green, a koi pond and a home that’s perfect for entertaining.”

The property offers great views of multiple shorelines — Burlington, Oakville, Mississauga, and on a clear day, Toronto, he says. “It offers someone an excellent opportunity to own an extraordinary property with all the features anyone could want at a fraction of the cost” of some other nearby communities.

“We have seen an uptick in the market,” he says, adding it’s been consistent over the past year.

The custom-designed house, which has about 4,600 sq. ft. of living space, was built in 1996 for a highend executive. It’s beautifully designed inside and out, and with manicured grounds and lighting, it also looks good day or night.

Features include hardwood floors throughout, multiple fireplaces, high ceilings (some beamed and vaulted) and lots of large windows offering beautiful views.

The backyard was completely redone by the current owner, who also had a new breakwall built.

“Escape from the city in your own backyard. Enjoy a cottage feeling without having to drive three hours north,” he says. “It’s an extraordinary property.”

The gated estate has a circular driveway and an attached garage.

“It will appeal to all groups, including large families and older couples that want to provide their family with a getaway feel within city limits,” says co-listing agent Isabel Zulian.

“It’s close to Confederation Park and up-and-coming beach areas with bars.”

It’s also close to Joseph Brant Hospital, Spencer Smith Park and the Brant Street Pier. Listing Broker: Royal LePage Burloak Real Estate Services (Paolo Zulian and Isabel Zulian)
