266 East Beach Rd, Leamington

266 East Beach Rd—arguably one of the most unique and inviting lakefront homes in Leamington emulating the vibe of Pelee Island. Tucked away on nearly 1 acre of pristine shoreline along the East Shore, this property feels like your own private retreat. Surrounded by nature with no neighbours to the north for over 500 metres - serenity, seclusion, and soul-soothing views define the experience here. Full of rustic charm, yet modern finishes, this 1.5-storey full brick ranch-style home offers a thoughtfully updated layout with soaring 13’ ceilings in the main living area, 3 (could be 4) bedrooms, and 2.5 bathrooms. The main living area also showcases a warm, vaulted wood-paneled ceiling, expansive arched picture windows and French doors that frame panoramic lake views and flood the space with natural light, plus wide-plank hardwood floors and built-in shelving surrounding the fireplace. Reclaimed brick from Detroit, Michigan, stained glass accents (including a decorative stained-glass transom in the foyer), solid oak doors, wood burning fireplace with a large oak mantle all add warmth and character throughout, while smart home upgrades—including high-end Andersen windows, a 360° 4K security system, smart lighting, and fibre-optic internet—blend old-world beauty with modern convenience. The bright tiled foyer (seen in photos) features painted accent walls and an arched entry that immediately draws the eye toward the water. A stunning addition includes an expansive attached garage/workshop with loft space, 10’ and 8’ garage doors, heated floors, its own electrical panel, and a loft upstairs. The paved interlocking-stone courtyard and mature landscaping around the garage create a private, sheltered entry and flexible outdoor living area. The original garage currently set up as a home gym with flexible storage or parking use. Other highlights: granite countertops, a large kitchen island with breakfast bar and pendant lighting, new custom oak bar, main-floor laundry, and a full alarm system. A whole-home HVAC dehumidifier keeps the air fresh year-round, and the roof is a 3-layer 50-year asphalt shingle (2010 main house, 2018 addition). As a bonus, there is a 1-bedroom bunkie that offers income potential or guest accommodations, complete with its own deck, BBQ, private outdoor shower, kitchenette, lofted queen bed, and breathtaking lake views — the bunkie’s interior is bright and efficiently laid out with cozy loft sleeping and lake-facing windows. The shoreline is fortified with a high break wall and massive boulders. Manicured stone pathways, perennial plantings and multiple outdoor seating areas create a number of tranquil spots to enjoy the waterfront. 10 min to Point Pelee National Park, 12 min to Leamington Marina & Seacliff Park. If you’ve been searching for a home that feels like a hidden paradise with equal parts peaceful getaway and functional forever home—this is the one. (id:1945)
