2055 Lakeshore Road E, Oakville

Nestled at the end of a private laneway on .996 acre in sought-after South East Oakville, tranquility awaits. Stone pillars and mature evergreens mark the private laneway entrance and a paved drive sweeps to the home. This Arts and Crafts-style home, boasting a wrap-around veranda, sits amidst nearly an acre of meticulously manicured gardens, complete with a stunning addition designed by Gren Weis. Step inside this charming 4-bedroom residence, offering over 3600 square feet of living space, and be enveloped in its timeless character. A bright foyer framed by columns, transom windows and elegant millwork leads into the main rooms, with wide-plank hardwood floors and a gracious staircase with turned balusters adding to the period charm. The sun-drenched kitchen is a chefs dream, featuring an AGA stove, step down to the breakfast area with multiple walkouts to the gardens, seamlessly blending indoor and outdoor living. The adjacent sunroom/great room features a wall of windows, built-in cabinetry and media shelving, and floods the home with light while providing direct access to the patios and gardens. The great room is the perfect place to relax in front of the fire at any time of the day — anchored by a classic painted mantel and custom built-ins. Entertain with ease in the expansive living and dining room, while a tucked-away main floor office provides privacy and is complemented by custom millwork and built-in storage. The formal dining area showcases a curved bay with deep-set windows and a cozy window seat, ideal for both casual meals and elegant dinners. Upstairs, the large principal bedroom overlooks the backyard and gardens, boasting a built-in vanity area, bookcase, custom walk-in closet, and a luxurious 3-piece ensuite. Two additional generously sized bedrooms share a timeless 4-piece bath, while the fourth bedroom, currently used as a gym and laundry area, offers flexibility to suit your needs and receives ample natural light and ceiling fan comfort. Throughout the home you’ll notice original details — crown moulding, wainscoting and period finishes — that enhance the character. Outside, is a dining gazebo and stone patio area, complete with a wood fireplace, that set the stage for al fresco entertaining amidst the natural beauty of majestic evergreens and perennials. A vegetable garden provides a farm-to-table experience, while a potting shed stands ready to house all your gardening tools. An oversized detached double car garage offers ample storage, with an unfinished coach house space above, roughed in for plumbing and electrical, awaiting your vision to become a work at home office, gym, guest suite, or in-law quarters. Experience the rare tranquility this home brings as you relax in nature, listening to the birds sing on your estate-sized lot. Ideally located steps from the lake, parks, and a short distance to all Downtown Oakville has to offer, including great public and private schools. (id:1945)
