About this home
Warm, serene, and inviting, this English farmhouse-inspired residence sits on an expansive 0.42-acre corner lot, offering a rare blend of character, privacy, and natural beauty. The impressive frontage and side yard create a true estate-like presence, with generous outdoor space on all sides of the home. Inside, a double-height foyer, gleaming hardwood floors, and an airy sense of volume set the tone for the rest of the residence. To one side, an intimate living room provides a refined setting for quiet conversation or reading, while on the other, a substantial main-floor study with rich architectural details is ideal as a home office, library, or music room. Beyond these formal spaces, the home opens into a relaxed, open-concept layout designed for modern living and effortless entertaining. A sunken family room anchors the informal wing and flows into a welcoming dining room highlighted by a wood-burning fireplace that adds warmth and ambiance to gatherings with family and friends. At the heart of the home, the kitchen is bathed in natural light from overhead skylights. Stainless steel appliances, sleek countertops, generous cabinetry, and warm accents create a space that is both highly functional and inviting. Thoughtfully designed with cozy elegance, the home offers four bedrooms, three full bathrooms, and two half bathrooms. Large windows frame views of manicured corner-lot gardens and offer peek-a-boo glimpses of the lake, giving the property a tranquil, retreat-like feel. Outside, beautifully landscaped grounds wrap the home with multiple outdoor zones, including a hot tub, Scandinavian-style sauna, and enclosed swimming pool, creating a resort-like experience in your own backyard. This exceptional property offers convenient access to major highways, lakeside walking trails, and a highly regarded school catchment area, delivering an elevated lifestyle in one of Oakville's most sought-after neighbourhoods.

Rates and programs change often. We will connect you with a trusted mortgage professional and build a plan that fits your budget and goals.
Estimates only, not a mortgage quote or pre-approval.

Actual rates, taxes, insurance, and closing costs vary by lender and property. Confirm every number with your mortgage professional.
Investor snapshot
Thinking of this home as an investment? We will pull real comparable rents and run the full numbers with you.
Talk about the numbersEstimates only. Rent is modelled on above-grade size and local norms, so a finished basement or second suite (a separate entrance often means one) can push real rent well above this. Taxes, fees, and vacancy vary by property, and cap rate is before financing. A starting point, not a final number, let us run the real ones with you.
