A rare waterfront setting in Burlington where land, water, and everyday living come together in a way that feels both natural and hard to find. Set on nearly half an acre with over 130 feet of shoreline and riparian rights, this home sits elevated above the bay with wide open views and a sense of space that immediately sets it apart. It feels quiet here, yet you're still just minutes from everything you need. From the street, the home stays tucked away. As you make your way toward the water, it opens up around you. The view stretches out, the air changes, and the setting takes over. A standout feature is the hidden waterfront trail extending nearly half a kilometer along the shoreline, accessed directly from the property. It becomes part of your daily routine. Morning walks, runs along the water, or simply stepping out to reset. Life here naturally moves outdoors. Layered decks overlook the bay, creating space to gather, unwind, and take in the view. Mornings start quietly by the water. Afternoons bring time outside on the water or around the shores. Evenings slow down with sunsets and the occasional glow of fireworks across the harbour. Inside, the home spans three levels, each offering its own view of the water. The layout provides flexibility for living, working, and hosting, with a natural separation between spaces. Every season brings something different. Summer is active on the water. Fall brings quiet shoreline walks. Winter offers stillness and skating on colder days. Spring brings everything back to life. The Hidden Shore invites you outside, connects you to the water, and creates a lifestyle that's hard to replicate. It's a property you don't just live in. It's one you experience every day.

Joe's Thoughts
Honest perspective from 25+ years of GTA real estate experience
Fair Market Value
At $856/sqft, this property is priced in line with current Burlington 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.
Market Position
At 17 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 Burlington 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.
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 Burlington.
Bathroom Count Matters
With 4 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.
