About This Property

Offered for the first time by its original owner, this is a one-of-a-kind custom-built 2,000+ sq. ft walkout bungalow. With views of Lake Ontario, this home features Mid Century Modern architecture designed around passive solar heating principles. Expansive south-facing windows and nine updated skylights fill the home with natural light, highlighting vaulted California redwood ceilings, exposed brick, structural barn beams, custom millwork and distinctive custom parquet flooring. The main floor is thoughtfully designed for accessible living, with wide hallways, minimal thresholds, a deluxe custom chair lift and an accessible ensuite bathroom. It also includes a dedicated study with built-in shelving and a spacious primary suite featuring a sitting area, walk-in closet, full ensuite and direct access to a private covered balcony. Quality construction is evident throughout with double-drywall for enhanced sound reduction, 200-amp electrical service with an attached pony panel and an electric dumbwaiter with 500-pound capacity. Heating is provided by a 40,000 BTU natural gas fireplace, complemented by a heat pump for heating and cooling, electric baseboard heating and three high-efficiency DC ceiling fans. Additional highlights include a three-car carport with direct access to a workshop and storage area, extensive paved parking, a recently re-shingled roof, a Kinetico water softening system and a private backyard. This is a rare opportunity to own a custom home that offers architectural distinction, practical design and exceptional craftsmanship. Located just a short walk to downtown Brighton and only minutes from Highway 401, golf courses, boat launches, Presqu'ile Provincial Park, and Presqu'ile Bay. A truly unique property that must be experienced to be fully appreciated.
