ACCOUTREMENTS
Luxury city living on the Lake of Bays.
The new owners won’t have to waste time buying furniture or even boats — this property is completely turnkey so all that’s left to do is relax and enjoy. It even comes with a golf membership.
“World-class luxury awaits at this lakefront retreat on exclusive Britannia Bay,” says listing agent Jay Richardson of Royal LePage Lakes of Muskoka, who has co-listed the property with Marilyn Mannion of Chestnut Park Real Estate.
Facing south, the property offers vistas towards the Bigwin Island area and enjoys all-day sunshine. The gentle 230-foot shoreline has a sandy beach for swimmers of all ages. Its land- scaped grounds include perennial gardens, granite pathways and a forest on more than three acres.
A two-slip fully equipped boathouse and a gazebo are connected by a large maintenance-free deck with lots of room for lounge chairs. The boathouse has hydraulic lifts.
The 12,000-sq.-ft. home has an insulated concrete form foundation and is built of superior materials with fine craftsmanship, Richardson says. “The workmanship and customization is amazing.”
Every detail was considered. An elevator serves all three floors, an intercom makes the call for dinner easy and the flick of a switch lowers the great room chandelier so cleaners can ensure it’s always sparkling.
The kitchen has sliding doors to a deck that overlooks patios and the bay. The living/dining room has a cathedral ceiling and a floor-to-ceiling wall of windows. An open wood-and-wrought-iron staircase is a sculptural feature tucked behind the fireplace.
Other goodies include a 12-seat home theatre, a sauna, a wine cellar and toasty radiant heated floors throughout.
Two adjoining heated garages offer room for six vehicles. The massive driveway is great for basketball practice and ball hockey games.
