Lovely on Lavender! This well-established and affluent neighbourhood with its large properties, mature trees, parks & top-tier schools will not disappoint even the most discerning buyer. This south-east Oakville family home, just a few minutes walk to historic Downtown Oakville, is extraordinary in many ways. Designed by local architect Bill Hicks, the current homeowners built the home in 2003. Your attention will be caught initially by the pretty exterior, & the extensive landscaping but do not stop here. The main level living is open & gracious, with both formal entertaining space & comfortable family space to enjoy. Look up when you enter - the two-storey cupola entry sets this home apart. The Great Room, kitchen & informal dining area all overlook the very private south-facing back garden with its patios & gorgeous salt-water pool. The Chef in the family will adore the kitchen, while the Executive has a private office to escape to for those important calls. The main level also offers a butler's servery, a walk-in pantry, a mudrm off the double garage & that all-important laundry rm. Upstairs there are 5 very spacious bedrooms with 3 full bathrms. The luxe primary suite is a true retreat with sitting area, gas fireplace, his & hers walk-in closets & a full luxury ensuite. One could easily play mini-hockey in the massive recreation room but be sure to note the large windows bringing lots of natural light to the lower level.

Excellent schools, services & facilities are key features for families who choose Oakville to live - both public & private schools have great reputations. Lake Ontario is close, while the historic district of Old Oakville w/ shopping, dining & cafés is an real attraction to many & is a short walk away.
