About This Home

As of June 2023

Custom contemporary retreat with stunning lake views sited at the end of a cul-de-sac on 1.07 acres of tree surrounded grounds, landscaping and offering dramatic views across Lake Galena to Eagle Ridge Resort and Spa! The lake views are the finest available on Lake Galena from the expansive deck and almost every room in the home. This property is the ultimate home for the discriminating buyer with real estate development experience. Upon arrival you are welcomed by the massive 2 story trapezoid window designs that are on both the front and rear elevations of the home. The main floor is an open concept with the kitchen, dining and living areas under a vaulted ceiling with exposed timbers, and hardwood floors throughout. The kitchen includes high end appliances and granite counters with plenty of prep space and an eat-at counter. The refrigerator door panels match the kitchen cabinets. The towering limestone and timber fireplace is the center piece of the great room and the floor to ceiling windows allow plenty of natural lighting. Adjacent to the great room is the master suite with walk in closet, and stone shower. The great room and master bedroom tie into the deck with expansive space for entertaining and family gatherings. The upper level is a multi-use loft overlooking the great room and two guest bedrooms with additional fantastic lake views. The lower level has a spacious family room with a second fireplace, screened patio room and laundry room. The lower level also has a storage garage with exterior door for all your lawn equipment and year-round home storage items. Adjacent to the family room is a large multi-purpose room with full bath that could be an office, media room, den or eventually remodeled to a lower level second master bedroom suite and of course, an absolutely stunning water view of Lake Galena from the lower level. Water softener and two HVAC systems with dual zones. Exterior and deck-stained Aug. 2022. To preserve the open and expansive view of Lake Galena, the property benefits from a covenant that will convey with the property to assure continued visual access to Lake Galena and beyond! Square footages are approximate from County Assessor’s Office. Aerials are estimated boundary lines, not a survey. The lot has five sides with the 5th side being 70’. Covenants & Restrictions apply. The home is being sold unfurnished. Sale subject to the GTA Documentation Fee.
