2055 Lakeshore Road E, Oakville

Nestled at the end of a private laneway on .996 acre in sought-after South East Oakville, tranquility awaits. This Arts and Crafts-style home, boasting a wrap-around veranda (complete with classic porch columns and a welcoming front picket fence), sits amidst nearly an acre of meticulously manicured gardens, complete with stone steps, retaining walls, layered perennial beds and 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 — rich hardwood floors, decorative crown moulding, built-in shelving and a handsome wood staircase with dark-stained handrail and white balusters accent the main living areas. 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 great room is the perfect place to relax in front of the fire at any time of the day — the fireplace is finished with a decorative mantel and large mirror and is flanked by generous windows dressed with classic drapery. Entertain with ease in the expansive living and dining room, while a tucked-away main floor office provides privacy. The formal spaces are defined by elegant architectural details including columns and archways that frame the rooms. 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. The bedroom is bright and airy with hardwood floors and a ceiling fan. 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. 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. Stone pathways and terraced garden beds lead around the property; a vegetable garden with raised beds provides a farm-to-table experience, while a quaint 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. The property is approached via a paved circular driveway and presents a charming, well-maintained exterior presence (Canadian flag on a flagpole visible at the front). 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)
