Seldom does a setting so magical come to market. On the coveted south side of Lakeshore Road, this distinguished residence rests on a private 0.57 acre ravine lot, with mature trees, a winding creek, lake views, and a broad lower lawn that unfolds like a private park in every season. Held by one family for 42 years, the property offers complete privacy, an irreplaceable natural setting, with glimpses of the lake from most rooms. The home itself is a canvas. Generous principal rooms sit atop solid construction and well-maintained mechanical systems, a strong foundation to reimagine, renovate, or design a custom masterpiece worthy of the land it occupies. The residence offers 3,106 square feet above grade, plus 1,095 square feet in the lower level, with a walkout. The upper level features four bedrooms with the rare ability to have two primary suites, ideal for multigenerational living or a growing family. The walkout lower level adds tremendous flexibility as a recreation area, home theatre, gym, or guest quarters, with its separate entrance offering ease for an in-law or nanny suite. Outdoors is where this property truly reveals its intangible magic. An expansive rear deck sits beneath a leafy canopy for dining and entertaining, while the creekside lawn invites both recreation and serenity. Established landscaping, abundant birdlife, and privacy create a park-like retreat just moments from the lake. Within a highly regarded school district and walking distance of Burlington's stunning Paletta Lakefront Park and the Burloak Waterfront Park, it is an exceptional estate with a rare opportunity to create your own legacy in one of Burlington's most established Lakeshore locations.

Joe's Thoughts
Honest perspective from 30+ years of GTA real estate experience
Competitive Pricing
At $791/sqft, this is priced below the area average. This could represent genuine value, but let's investigate why. In my experience, underpriced homes often have deferred maintenance, unfavourable layouts, or motivated sellers. I'll help you determine which it is.
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 3,000 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.
Family-Friendly Layout
4 bedrooms hits the sweet spot for most families. You'll have room for 2-3 children plus a home office or guest room. This is the most sought-after configuration for families relocating to Burlington. Good resale value as demand remains consistent.
Bathroom Count Matters
With 4 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.
Burlington Lifestyle
Burlington offers a balance of urban convenience and suburban tranquility. Growing families appreciate the newer schools and community feel. The GO Train provides reasonable Toronto access. Home values have appreciated steadily as families seek alternatives to Toronto's density and pricing.
