What’s the best feature of 48 Constance Blvd.? “Our 180-foot shoreline waterfront property offers direct water access for kayaking, paddle boarding and small sailing craft,” the homeowner says. “It has an amazing sunrise over (Georgian Bay) that we can observe from six different rooms in the house.
“On the deck, enjoying espresso, is the best way to start the day. Some mornings the water is like glass reflecting a brilliant, sometimes red/orange, sun. Other mornings the sun twinkles off a mildly choppy surface. All of the time, it brings serene happiness, gratitude and a big smile.”
The home, which offers more than 3,200 square feet of living space, is on an extensively landscaped 180x206- ft. lot that has an expansive deck and a waterfall. “Soak up the scenery on the waterside deck or entertain into the evening on the spacious stone barbecue terrace,” says listing agent Barb Picot of Chestnut Park Real Estate, who has listed the property with Ron Picot.
Designed with an “indoor/ outdoor layout,” the home has open-concept spaces, an abundance of large windows and many walkouts.
A huge island divides the open area of the kitchen, living room and sunroom, the homeowner says. “This allows for an all-inclusive feeling when entertaining.”
The l iving room has a 25-ft.-high ceiling and a wall of glass overlooking the bay. The two- storey great room has a floor- to- ceiling stonefaced gas fireplace. An office, laundry room and bathroom are also on this level.
The main- floor master suite has a view of the bay and a walkout to the deck and hot tub. “It’s open yet so private,” the homeowner says.
Three bedrooms and a four- piece bathroom are on the second floor. A spacious loft area is ideal for an office or games room.
The gracious home has been the site of many celebrations. “We’ve had large outdoor summer parties celebrating milestone anniversaries and birthdays. These are always enjoyable events because of the size of the property and the waterfront. Accommodating 100- plus people is comfortably easy,” the homeowner says.
Amenities and year-round activities are offered in nearby Collingwood, Wasaga Beach and Blue Mountain Village.
