Lakeside living dreams do come true. Here is a rare chance to own a private lake access home on Lake Bonaventure. Share a dock with only 1 other house and own one of only 6 houses with walking access to the island. This executive home offers over 3240 sq. ft. of finished space and is a stunning mix of modern and classic style. Inside the front door, a sunken living room to the right centres around a gas fireplace in a marble surround and then steps up to a sunny formal dining area. Original hardwood stretches into the gorgeous and inviting kitchen. White cabinetry, a coffered ceiling, and mottled granite adds a rich sense of texture. Quality appliances include a flat stove top, a wall oven, and a French door fridge. An eating bar is overhung with statement cut-glass pendant lights that add to the refined feel. The tiled backsplash extends into a feature wall in the breakfast nook, which offers access to the deck and overlooks the family room. Here, a wood burning fireplace in a fantastic stone surround and wood-paneled walls create a retro aesthetic that begs you to sit down and enjoy a cocktail – which you can mix at the wet bar in the corner. French doors and big windows frame views of the yard. The back door includes a vast laundry area with tons of cabinets, and there is a powder room off the hall to the entry from the attached double garage. As you head up the stairs, the expansive primary suite includes a semi-open ensuite where the vanity has a large walk-in closet to one side and a huge tiled shower with a bench. Three more spacious bedrooms on this storey are the ideal layout for a large family. The main bathroom echoes the owner’s suite with a central vanity and separate doors to the toilet and the shower. In the finished basement, there is so much room to set up your home theatre, and there is another wet bar here, too. A third fireplace is a wonderful feature, while another bedroom and an office provide even more space to live, work, play, and of course, host guests. This home rests on a massive, treed lot, and there is both an open patio with a firepit as well as a covered deck. Situated just one home back from the lakefront and with a green space in front of the house as well means that this is an amazingly quiet location. Nearby, schools and parks are plentiful, and you can easily walk down to Fish Creek Park to enjoy miles of trails. These homes don’t come along often; see it today.
