If Lake Simcoe had a front row, this would be it. Set on 1.09 private acres along Lake Simcoe's prestigious North Shore, 247 Lakeshore Rd West pairs 91 ft of south frontage with panoramic views, inclusive of Big Bay Point, with authentic Timber Frame craftsmanship. This entire home has been masterfully re-envisioned, inside and out, evolving into 5,340 sq-ft of modern luxury living. Situated close to the waters edge, an easy few steps on cut granite stairs lead to an exceptional shoreline including a dock and natural sandy beach with gradual entry into clear waters, ideal for swimming and children. The protected bay provides calmer waters from prevailing northwest winds. The great-room ceiling rises to 28 feet showcasing ever popular wood ceilings, a majestic natural stone fireplace and towering window views. Soaring architecture adds warmth and unmistakable character, achieving panoramic views from almost every room in the home. Custom kitchen features, Cambria quartz, JennAir appliances, oversized island seating for 6, and a walk-in pantry. Vaulted ceiling bedrooms & baths simply must be experienced. An office, games room, gym, media room & covered porches all provide space for both everyday living and entertaining. Outside is a custom concrete pool with a motorized solar/winter cover, surrounded by Brazilian walnut decking (IPE), a large flagstone terrace, hot tub and a linear natural gas fire feature. Upgraded granite shoring extends along the waterfront. A 58-ft cedar topped galvanized dock extends out into your uncommon water lot ownership. An oversized luxurious heated 4-car garage with professional epoxy flooring is a car lovers dream with TV & sound system. Whole home Generac generator, 3 zone HVAC, Sonos audio throughout, commercial grade property-wide cameras and Wi-Fi.
