A Family Oasis by the Lake — Where Every Season and Every Memory Matters Nestled just one street from the lake in one of the area’s most charming, nature-rich communities, this exceptional home offers something rare: the perfect balance of connection, calm, and character. With 3,257 sq ft of finished living space, it provides room to grow, entertain, and create lasting memories — all on a rare double lot with future severance potential for added value. Once a seasonal cottage area for Toronto families seeking a lakeside escape, the neighbourhood has evolved into a vibrant, welcoming community. This home sits directly across from a park, formerly the grounds of a historic school, offering beautiful green views, extra privacy, and a perfect space for children to play. You’re also within walking distance to the lake, Royal Botanical Gardens, and scenic trails — a setting that nurtures peace and outdoor living. Lovingly cared for, this home has been the backdrop for years of cherished family moments. The sellers built a private resort-style backyard where their children grew up with space, nature, and freedom. The outdoor space is a true retreat, featuring a heated saltwater pool, custom playground, zipline, outdoor kitchen and BBQ, gazebo, soccer area, and indoor/outdoor wood-burning fireplaces. Inside, enjoy multiple entertainment zones, a yoga studio, and cozy nooks for rest and connection. Minutes from boutique shops, schools, the GO Train, and a new hospital — all surrounded by trees and lake breezes — this is a rare chance for a growing family or couple to embrace a lifestyle as full as the home itself. As the owners share: “This home gave our children everything they could dream of — indoors and out. Now, it’s ready to do the same for someone new.” (id:2493)
