38 Shorewood Place, Oakville

Exclusive lakeside community on a tree-lined private court in south Oakville, just steps from downtown. This sprawling 8,257 sq.ft. of total living space custom residence, set on a 17,500 sq.ft. pie-shaped lot and only one home from the lake, is like none other. Its handsome elevation is framed by extensive natural stone hardscaping (with heated drive and walkway) , a motor court and driveway laid in natural stone pavers, gunite pool and hot tub (equipment <5 years) and complete privacy, setting the tone for this retreat — the pool area features generous stone decking with multiple lounging areas and an adjacent terrace ideal for outdoor dining. Inside, the home conveys an immediate sense of volume and refinement. The formal entry immediately showcases the bespoke nature of the build with detailed millwork and custom trim. With warm hardwood floors, expansive windows and abundant natural light flowing through French doors to the garden, generous principal rooms and soaring ceilings combine to create an interior that feels both elegant and inviting. At the heart of the home is the kitchen/family room with an expansive Downsview kitchen with wrap-around island, designed for everyday life. The two-tone custom cabinetry, pendant lighting, island breakfast bar and integrated appliances bring both style and function to the space. A space for family with thoughtful details like a built-in desk, separate drinks kitchen, pantry, three-piece pool bath and a substantial mudroom — plus a convenient adjacent laundry area with built-in storage and stone tile flooring — all add to the home's practicality. On the main level, a private primary bedroom wing opens to the garden and features 12-foot ceilings, a fitted walk-in closet, and an en-suite designed to impress; the primary suite is serene in palette and enjoys direct access to the terrace through French doors. Upstairs, you'll find the kids retreat. Three bedrooms, each with its own sense of character and charm the perfect getaway that will appeal to the teen set as much as the younger ones. It is, however, the lower level that truly distinguishes this home. A new gym with sauna and full bath sets the stage, complemented by a theatre with Crestron system, custom seating and lighting — the theatre features plush, tiered seating, framed memorabilia and tailored acoustic treatments for an authentic cinema experience. A billiards area, two bars, fireplace, two lounges, wine cellar and cantina. An expansive 3,465 sq.ft. of finished living space designed for leisure and entertaining. This remarkable property is further enhanced by a full security system, irrigation and smart-home technology. A one-of-a-kind opportunity in an ideal lakeside setting. (id:1945)
