This meticulously renovated, 5-bedroom, 3500sq.ft. home, seamlessly blends architectural elegance with a resort-like backyard sanctuary. Sitting on over 1/4 acre (75.71ft x 150.27ft), the private, mature backyard is a masterclass in landscape design, framed by a lush triple-layer of emerald cedars that ensures total seclusion for the salt-water pool and its sophisticated lounging terrace. A striking vaulted covered patio with an intricate wood-inlay ceiling plus 3 skylights, offers a luxurious element and an elevated vantage point over the manicured grounds and pool. Inside, the layout is designed for both effortless entertaining and multi-generational living.

The front windows in the foyer, living room, and family room have been beautifully enhanced with custom-made stained-glass windows for ultimate privacy and distinction. The lower level features a mirror-panelled exercise room/recreation room with a rubber-floor overlay (the equipment is negotiable) with windows on both ends of the room. Rich solid-oak flooring throughout the above-grade levels, and the whole home is carpet-free. Come see this very special home and property in a quiet, friendly neighbourhood of south-west Oakville.

Joe's Thoughts
Honest perspective from 30+ years of GTA real estate experience
Competitive Pricing
At $767/sqft, this is priced below the area average. This could represent genuine value, but let's investigate why. In my experience, underpriced homes often have deferred maintenance, unfavourable layouts, or motivated sellers. I'll help you determine which it is.
Market Position
At 20 days on site, this property has had reasonable exposure. It hasn't sold immediately (which often indicates overpricing), but isn't languishing either. There's likely room for a 3-5% negotiation from asking price.
Detached Home Advantages
Detached homes in Oakville are increasingly scarce and valuable. You'll have no shared walls, full control over renovations, and typically stronger appreciation. Consider the lot size and potential for future additions or basement apartment income. Detached homes also offer the most flexibility for growing families.
Larger Home Realities
At 3,000 sqft, this is a substantial home. Budget approximately $400-600/month more for utilities compared to an average-sized home. Maintenance costs scale with size too - roof, HVAC, and cleaning all cost more. That said, space is a luxury that's hard to add later, and larger homes often have better resale in family-oriented neighbourhoods.
Excellent Flexibility
With 5 bedrooms, you have genuine flexibility. Beyond the master and kids' rooms, you can have a dedicated home office, guest room, hobby space, or even rental income potential. In today's work-from-home era, extra bedrooms add significant value. Properties with 5+ bedrooms are relatively rare in Oakville.
Bathroom Count Matters
With 3 bathrooms, morning routines are much smoother. Multiple bathrooms significantly improve daily livability and are a major selling point for resale. Buyers consistently pay more for adequate bathroom counts - this is a strong feature.
