The property boasts 200 feet of riparian water rights, giving the owners the right to use this portion of the lake for such things as boating, swimming and other water activities.
“This rarely found property is just over five years old and has around 10,000 square feet of finished living space. The home is designed to highlight the lake views from the master bedroom suite and principle living areas,” says broker Catherine Bourelle. “Outdoor living is enhanced with two large covered terraces — one on the main level and one off the master bedroom. The main floor has heated hardwood-looking ceramic flooring throughout and 10-foot ceiling heights.
“One of the best features of this home is its location. Not only is it on the lakefront, but the home is located in Port Credit, which has become a destination place and designated area of tourism. It is a vibrant ‘hot spot’ yet has kept its quaint appeal and is ideal for people who want to live out of the city but not in a typical suburban neighbourhood,” says Bourelle.
“Port Credit offers great restaurants, bars, boutiques, shopping and a farmer’s market. Summer in the village is full of activity, with outdoor art shows, concert series, and movie nights, a spring boat show, the Waterfront Festival, Buskerfest, and a Blues and Jazz Festival. This property is situated on the Mississauga Waterfront Trail, which has extensive walking trails along the lake, parks and wooded areas,” she adds.
The home is also near a GO station and walking distance to Port Credit Village, a marina and yacht club.
