This is the one you've been waiting for! Spectacularly maintained, first-floor-living oasis on the shore of Lake Ontario. The waterfront has specially designed shoreline protection (2020), and a perfect swimming cove between the stone beach and off-shore break-walls. Everything is here for seasonal entertaining: a 30x45ft new stamped patio with party "room" and a large lake-side lawn for games, tents and bonfires. The house is outfitted with a whole-house generator and solar panels. The view remains at the forefront of your indoor living spaces, including the living room/dining room combined with a wall of windows. This house was completely rebuilt in 1993. The central kitchen with island offers views in both the front and back of the property. The primary suite boasts built-in bookshelves flanking the woodburning fireplace, along with a dressing room/office, laundry room and linen closet. The second and third bedrooms also offer views of the water and Toronto. Across the breezeway is an attached two-car garage with walk-up loft, and a storage room for all the water toys and gear. A new stamped concrete ramp (discreetly hidden) makes for easy access to the front door. The 12x20 ft shed for your yard equipment also has a loft for seasonal storage. A nearly 600 ft blacktop driveway ensures a smooth ride to your peaceful retreat. Located just one mile east of Fort Niagara and the Niagara Scenic Parkway.
