About this home
Some houses are renovated. This one was reimagined. Situated on one of Shoreacres' most desirable streets, this is more than a beautifully renovated house, it's a thoughtfully crafted home where every room, every finish, and the outdoors were designed with intention. Offering over 3,400 square feet, nine-foot ceilings, six bedrooms, and three fully renovated bathrooms, the home blends timeless design with exceptional functionality. At its heart is a chef's kitchen anchored by a Bertazzoni gas range, opening effortlessly into inviting living and dining areas centred around an open-face gas fireplace. Designed to blur the line between indoors and out, the home flows naturally to multiple outdoor living spaces overlooking one of the area's most exceptional lots. Mature and rare redwoods, curated gardens, extensive stonework, and intentional landscaping create a private setting that is as beautiful as it is peaceful. The private primary retreat occupies its own level, offering a true escape from the rest of the home. The lower level continues the home's versatility with a wine cellar, dedicated fitness studio, spacious recreation room, and a double-wide walk-out that extends the home's seamless connection to the outdoors. Behind the walls, every major system has been updated, including the electrical, plumbing, mechanical, roof, windows, and doors. A heated garage, detached custom built out-space with hydro, and abundant parking complete the package. Located just moments from the lake, parks, and some of Burlington's top-rated schools, this is a rare opportunity to own a home where craftsmanship, quality, and intention are evident in every detail, inside and out.

Rooms
Listed at $2,499,000, this home is tracking about 12% above a wider set of listings, though close matches were thin, so treat this as a rough read until I run a precise CMA. The number above is my independent estimate of value, not the asking price.
Priced above comparable homes overall, but the price per square foot ($1,111/sqft) is below the area, so you are paying for extra space rather than a premium.
There are only a few closely comparable homes right here, so this is a broad read from wider listings in the area. Ask me for a precise CMA before relying on it.
Based on 12 similar homes nearby, adjusted for size, beds, and baths.Median of 12 comparable active listings, adjusted for size, beds, and baths. The city (MPAC) assessment points to about $2.61M, a bit higher.
How I got there
Here is the exact math behind the estimate. I start from the closest comparable listing and adjust for the real differences (size, beds, baths) to land on a like-for-like value for this home.
- Closest comparable, listed at $2.60M
- Bathrooms −$15K
- Adjusts to $2.58M
That comparable adjusts to $2.58M; the $2.23M estimate above is the median of all 12 comparables, which is steadier than any single home.This uses comparable active listings, not sold prices. Lot, condition, and finishes are my in-person call, and I can run a full CMA with recent solds.
On location, it is moderately walkable, so some daily errands are within reach and for the rest you will likely drive. Appleby at Spruce is about a 8-minute walk away.
Total price vs nearby homes. Fair value about $2.23M, median of 12 comparables.
What the listing highlightsThese are claims from the listing. The only way to know for sure is to see it in person, and I am happy to book you a private showing.
- Renovated / rebuilt: recent work can mean fewer upfront costs, worth confirming the scope, quality, and that permits were pulled.
- Upscale kitchen: a genuine value driver, verify the appliances, stone, and finishes in person.

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.
