Lakefront Home For Sale in Windsor, Ontario Canada Beautiful Lakefront Home Asking Price: $999,000 CAD (Negotiable) Asking Price: $999,900. This is a great value and price for this area. This beautiful home is located in Windsor Ontario in Essex County. Essex County is Canada's southern most county and it has the mildest temperature in Canada rich in vineyards and surrounded by the Great Lakes. Essex County was voted the best area to live in Canada by Money Sense magazine and the Housing Prices are the lowest in the Country. A waterfront home such as this in the Toronto area just 3 hours away would sell for about 5 times the price.
This home is located in Russell Woods the most prestigious neighborhood in all of Essex County. It is only a 15 minute drive to the heart of Windsor and has great neighbors. It is priced to be the best value in the neighborhood which can be easily confirmed by looking at comaprables. A similar sized lot recently sold for $450,000. To rebuild this house complete with landscaping, break walls, furniture and appliances would be well over $1 Million. Hence the total replacement cost would be well over $1.5Million. It makes far more sense to buy an existing lakefront home in this area then attempt to build one. Waterfront lots are hard to find and expensive. A look at comparable’s in this neighborhood shows that 5 homes within a stone’s throw sold in the last couple of years. The house immediately next door on the same sized lot was purchased by a cardiologist. It was unfinished and required 3 months of construction to complete yet still sold for $800,000. Two neighboring non waterfront properties of about half the size each sold for over $500,000. The house four doors down sold for over 1.5 million, and 6 doors down sold for $2.1 million.
With land that was restored to the natural Carolinian forest and over 300 mature diverse trees one cannot even see the home from the entrance. A semi-private entrance gives the feeling of entering a secluded resort. The long driveway then becomes private and continues to the home nestled in the forest that is so dense one does not even notice the neighbors. There are numerous fruit trees and berry bushes and a large raspberry patch. A trail through the woods leads to the water front brick terrace and deck. The path is surrounded by maintenance free ground cover and a wide variety of perennial herbs. The large deck is surrounded by a natural hedge fence for privacy. There is a protective steel break wall as well as a sandy beach for the best of both worlds. The water is knee high for the first couple hundred yards making it ideal for swimming and water sports. The water facing side of the house covered in windows provides water views throughout the house.
The entrance next to the 3 car garage featured a covered porch and travertine tiles. The travertine flows into the foyer so that one does not sense where the nature of outdoor ends and the beauty of the interior home begins. The main floor features travertine floors and hardwood throughout with a large home theatre complete with a state of the art entertainment system. A large cooks kitchen comes complete with a new appliances including a stove top and indoor barbeque, double wall ovens, a dishwasher and a full stainless steel double door fridge. The long granite counter top and bar stools are ideal for entertaining. The kitchen unfolds into a living area and dining area overlooking the lake. There is a spa complete with bathroom, Jacuzzi, wet sauna and massage area.
This custom home was designed to perfectly fit the lot and was completed renovated in 2004 with 83 new windows, 6 glass double doors, 2 air conditioners, and 2 furnaces for maximum efficiency. The layout is impeccable and every room has an incredible view. The 700 square foot upstairs loft with vaulted ceilings has more windows than an average home. The great room upstairs is currently used as a home office furnished with solid mahogany furniture. There are two bedrooms on the perimeter each with a private balcony overlooking the water. The master bedroom has a double zen tub surrounded in granite as well as a raindrop shower, and views of the lake exude peace. The house was professionally decorated in 2009 with new furniture and appliances worth well over $50,000 and as a bonus the owner may include them all in the purchase price. This beautiful home was recently featured in the film Voyage to Betterment. (). To buy this home contact Mark Eugenie, Manor Realty: ph: 519-250-8800 or the owner directly at 519-566-6563
