For someone looking for a waterfront property that’s a little different, 265 Stephenson Point Rd. is it. The lake house is on a property with 152 feet of shoreline, a waterside pool and fire pit. Listing agent Dianne Hooker says amount of water frontage is “impressive for those looking for a waterfront property. I absolutely love this property. From the moment you walk into the lake house and look through the large windows over the beautiful park- like grounds, glistening pool, recreational features and the sparkling lake, you would swear you were vacationing at a southern island resort.”
The heated salt water pool has a surround made of Indian stone. The same stone was used for the fire pit and lends a look of island- like white sand. “An entertaining- sized new upper deck is made of maintenance- free composite material and has a tempered glass railing.”
The 2,700- square- foot granite bungaloft has a two- storey- high great room with a wall of windows and a floor- to- ceiling fieldstone fireplace ( one of four in the home). There are four bedrooms, plus a separate loft that could be used as a bedroom.
Ideal for multi- generational families, there is also a walkout lower level with games, family and sitting rooms, plus an additional bedroom.
The Point, the area where this property is located, was developed about 35 years ago and offers $ 1- million-plus homes (considered good money for the area) as well as some in this higher price range, Hooker says. She sold this property to the owners six years ago and says they have renovated most of the interior within the past five years.
Other highlights include a 12,000- pound capacity hydraulic boat lift, an attached garage and parking for 11 cars.
Nearby Port Perry offers essentials such as a recently fully renovated hospital, stores, boutiques and other amenities.
In addition to locals, potential buyers ( mostly families) include residents of Richmond Hill, Toronto, Markham and Thornhill.
