SANDY BEACH,
861 FEET OF WATER
FRONTAGE
This 21-acre property has 861
feet of water frontage on Pic-
ton Bay and is within a short
drive of wineries, vineyards,
artisan galleries and fine and
casual dining, says listing
agent Iris Andrews, who has
listed the property with Brian
Andrews.
The custom 3,000-square-
foot stone residence has banks
of windows, skylights and
walkouts to covered verandas.
Pine floors, crown mouldings
and interior stone walls grace
its open floorplan.
The great room has soaring
ceilings and a lofty sitting area
on the second floor. A stone
fireplace spans the width of
the great room and extends
from floor to ceiling.
The custom Shaker kitchen
has pantries, granite counter
tops, a breakfast bar and a
dry-stack stone interior wall.
The eating area has garden
doors to a covered veranda
for alfresco dining and sunset
cocktails. The formal dining
room has custom window
seats.
The multi-purpose media/
family room is an ingenious
sun-lit garage conversion
that expands the casual living
space. With walkouts front
and back, heated tile floors
and a wet bar, its a wonderful
gathering place. Or it could be
converted into an uber-deluxe
garage to house a prized car
collection, Mr. Andrews says.
The master suite has a
vaulted ceiling, a six-piece en-
suite bathroom and a walkout
to the heated pool, outdoor
shower and waterfront.
A guest bunkie, an insu-
lated outbuilding, a century
stone building inside the
stone entrance gates, a tree
house and a stone pizza oven
at the waters edge are also on
the property.

TWO FAMILY ROOMS
People who enjoy golf (and
even those who dont) will
enjoy the views from this cus-
tom brick-and-stone home.
The kitchen, family room,
master bedroom and master
ensuite bathroom overlook
the Thornhill Golf and Coun-
try Club grounds, says listing
agent Sarah Maged, who has
listed the property with Ian
Maged.
Built and designed by Wind-
emere Custom Homes in 2006,
the 4,475-square-foot home
has a layout that boasts both
main and upper-level family
rooms, 10-foot ceilings on the
main floor and a 2,475-sq.-ft.
finished lower level.
The dream kitchen, with
its French Country ambiance,
and the family room, are great
for enjoying family time, says
Mr. Maged. The living room
has crown moulding, the din-
ing room has a coffered ceil-
ing and the focal point of the
main-floor family room is a
gas fireplace.
A library, four bedrooms
and a family room are on
the second floor. The master
bedroom has a five-piece en-
suite bathroom and a walk-in
closet.
Great for guests or ex-
tended family, the lower level
has a four-piece bathroom,
two bedrooms and a recrea-
tion room with a gas fire-
place.
The 46x136-ft. irregular
lot has a flagstone patio and
front porch, coach lights and
carriage-style garage doors.
This house is suited to a dis-
criminating buyer who loves
to entertain and who is look-
ing for beauty and elegance in
an upscale home, an exclusive
area with top schools and who
wants to be among multi-
million-dollar homes, Ms.
Maged says.

HONEY,
IM HOME
S
o many welcoming spaces,
so little time during a visit
to enjoy them all. The stone-
and-stucco home at 383 Mor-
rison Rd. has more than 6,900
square feet of meticulously
crafted living space perfect for
entertaining inside and out, says
listing agent Dean Swanson of
Royal LePage Real Estate Servi-
ces Ltd., who has listed the prop-
erty with Allison Swanson.
In 2005, the homes construc-
tion was featured on HGTVs
From the Ground Up, starring
decorating guru Debbie Travis.
A wide, welcoming foyer opens
on to the great room through a
double set of glass doors; off to
the right is a private but show-
worthy two-storey staircase
graced with large windows.
Polished and pretty, the home
offers a classic and unfussy
decor that has a timeless fla-
vour, Ms. Swanson says. The in-
terior features a palette of silvery
sage, complemented by shades
of cream, ochre and putty, and
primary living spaces that are
flooded with natural light.
Honey-toned hardwood floors
throughout and wood cabinetry
in the kitchen and breakfast ar-
ea add warmth and character.
The 14x19-ft. den is cloaked in
traditional honey-toned millwork
that incudes shelving for trophies
or collectibles all beautifully
offset by a rather modern silver-
leaf ceiling.
The great room has a wall of
French doors; the dining room
sports a gas fireplace. Every
principal room has a door to the
backyard, Mr. Swanson says.
Boomer buyers might enjoy
the master suites location on
the main floor. Its ideal for
people who dont want to climb
stairs, Ms. Swanson says. The
master ensuite bathroom has
a soaker tub and a wall-to-wall
shower with jets coming out
everywhere, Mr. Swanson says.
The children can enjoy their
own space on the second floor,
which has three bedrooms.
The gourmet kitchen has
professional-grade stainless
steel appliances, which includes
a gas range with griddle and
grille, a potfiller and a double
oven; an island; and wood cab-
inets that extend to the ceiling.
A desk is incorporated into cab-
inets beside the breakfast area.
The lower level has a fifth
bedroom with a three-piece
bathroom, making it a great
space for a teen, nanny or ex-
tended family member. An exer-
cise room and a recreation room
with a gas fireplace and a home
theatre are other highlights.
Last year the owners added a
custom 12x40-ft. pool, a spa and
a water feature and landscaped
the backyard to create the ultim-
ate hotel-style outdoor space.
In southeast Oakville, the
146x100-ft. property is close to
St. Mildreds and Oakville Tra-
falgar High School. Many buyers
gravitate to areas that have good
schools, Ms. Swanson says.
They like to know the kids
can walk to school. This is the
perfect location.
