Warm, serene, and inviting, this English farmhouse-inspired residence sits on an expansive 0.42-acre corner lot, offering a rare blend of character, privacy, and natural beauty. The impressive frontage and side yard create a true estate-like presence, with generous outdoor space on all sides of the home. Inside, a double-height foyer, gleaming hardwood floors, and an airy sense of volume set the tone for the rest of the residence. To one side, an intimate living room provides a refined setting for quiet conversation or reading, while on the other, a substantial main-floor study with rich architectural details is ideal as a home office, library, or music room. Beyond these formal spaces, the home opens into a relaxed, open-concept layout designed for modern living and effortless entertaining. A sunken family room anchors the informal wing and flows into a welcoming dining room highlighted by a wood-burning fireplace that adds warmth and ambiance to gatherings with family and friends. At the heart of the home, the kitchen is bathed in natural light from overhead skylights. Stainless steel appliances, sleek countertops, generous cabinetry, and warm accents create a space that is both highly functional and inviting. Thoughtfully designed with cozy elegance, the home offers four bedrooms, three full bathrooms, and two half bathrooms. Large windows frame views of manicured corner-lot gardens and offer peek-a-boo glimpses of the lake, giving the property a tranquil, retreat-like feel. Outside, beautifully landscaped grounds wrap the home with multiple outdoor zones, including a hot tub, Scandinavian-style sauna, and enclosed swimming pool, creating a resort-like experience in your own backyard. This exceptional property offers convenient access to major highways, lakeside walking trails, and a highly regarded school catchment area, delivering an elevated lifestyle in one of Oakville's most sought-after neighbourhoods.

Joe's Thoughts
Honest perspective from 30+ years of GTA real estate experience
Fair Market Value
At $971/sqft, this property is priced in line with current Oakville market conditions. The pricing suggests the seller has done their homework. We may have modest room for negotiation, typically 2-4% in today's market.
Negotiation Opportunity
At 98 days on site, this property has exceeded the typical selling timeline for Oakville. This creates leverage for buyers. The seller may be motivated by carrying costs, life circumstances, or previous deals falling through. I'd recommend a strategic offer below asking with terms that favour you.
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 3,500 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.
Family-Friendly Layout
4 bedrooms hits the sweet spot for most families. You'll have room for 2-3 children plus a home office or guest room. This is the most sought-after configuration for families relocating to Oakville. Good resale value as demand remains consistent.
Bathroom Count Matters
With 5 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.
