Some homes are purchased. This one is inherited by ambition. Behind private gates on Lake Ontario's Gold Coast, this extraordinary one-acre waterfront estate offers 120 feet of pristine, seawall-protected Lake Ontario shoreline, a private 30-foot dock, and a rare dual davit system-an irreplaceable level of waterfront ownership that can no longer be recreated. A circular driveway and elegant three-tier fountain introduce a timeless white-stone English manor, completely transformed in 2015 through an approximately $5 million renovation by Studio H. Offering 10,542 sq. ft. of finished living space with 6+1 bedrooms and 10 bathrooms, the residence features electric heated floors throughout and a design focused on breathtaking lake views. A dramatic two-storey domed marble foyer frames the water, while soaring 10- and 11-foot ceilings, exquisite millwork, and a custom Selba kitchen create exceptional spaces for everyday living and entertaining. Nearly every principal room captures panoramic lake views. Upstairs, six luxurious bedroom suites each feature a spa-inspired ensuite with natural stone finishes and steam showers. The primary retreat overlooks the pool, English rose gardens, and open lake, and includes a lavish ensuite with a freestanding Neptune soaking tub, alabaster double vanity, and oversized steam shower. The lower level offers a cinema-quality theatre, glass wine lounge, climate-controlled 1,000-bottle wine cellar, fitness studio, full spa, music room, nanny suite, and cedar-lined storage. Outside, a resort-style saltwater pool with a stone waterfall is surrounded by limestone terraces, a private gazebo, fire pit, children's play area, and beautifully landscaped gardens leading to the water's edge. Premium finishes include limestone, marble, alabaster, granite, travertine, quartz, porcelain, gold leaf, and Swarovski crystal. More than a residence, this is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to own one of the most iconic waterfront estates. Luxury Certified

Joe's Thoughts
Honest perspective from 30+ years of GTA real estate experience
Premium Pricing
At $3100/sqft, this property is priced above the Burlington average of $950/sqft. I'd want to see upgraded finishes, premium location, or recent renovations to justify this price point. During our showing, I'll point out exactly what you're paying extra for.
Market Position
At 39 days on site, this property has had reasonable exposure. It hasn't sold immediately (which often indicates overpricing), but isn't languishing either. There's likely room for a 3-5% negotiation from asking price.
Detached Home Advantages
Detached homes in Burlington are increasingly scarce and valuable. You'll have no shared walls, full control over renovations, and typically stronger appreciation. Consider the lot size and potential for future additions or basement apartment income. Detached homes also offer the most flexibility for growing families.
Larger Home Realities
At 5,000 sqft, this is a substantial home. Budget approximately $400-600/month more for utilities compared to an average-sized home. Maintenance costs scale with size too - roof, HVAC, and cleaning all cost more. That said, space is a luxury that's hard to add later, and larger homes often have better resale in family-oriented neighbourhoods.
Excellent Flexibility
With 7 bedrooms, you have genuine flexibility. Beyond the master and kids' rooms, you can have a dedicated home office, guest room, hobby space, or even rental income potential. In today's work-from-home era, extra bedrooms add significant value. Properties with 5+ bedrooms are relatively rare in Burlington.
Bathroom Count Matters
With 10 bathrooms, morning routines are much smoother. Multiple bathrooms significantly improve daily livability and are a major selling point for resale. Buyers consistently pay more for adequate bathroom counts - this is a strong feature.
