4038 Lakeshore Rd

Some homes are purchased. This one is inherited by ambition. Behind private gates on Lake Ontario's Gold Coast, this extraordinary one-acre waterfront estate offers 120 feet of pristine, seawall-protected Lake Ontario shoreline, a private 30-foot dock, and a rare dual davit system-an irreplaceable level of waterfront ownership that can no longer be recreated. A circular driveway and elegant three-tier fountain introduce a timeless white-stone English manor, completely transformed in 2015 through an approximately $5 million renovation by Studio H. Offering 10,542 sq. ft. of finished living space with 6+1 bedrooms and 10 bathrooms, the residence features electric heated floors throughout and a design focused on breathtaking lake views. A dramatic two-storey domed marble foyer frames the water, while soaring 10- and 11-foot ceilings, exquisite millwork, and a custom Selba kitchen create exceptional spaces for everyday living and entertaining. Nearly every principal room captures panoramic lake views. Upstairs, six luxurious bedroom suites each feature a spa-inspired ensuite with natural stone finishes and steam showers. The primary retreat overlooks the pool, English rose gardens, and open lake, and includes a lavish ensuite with a freestanding Neptune soaking tub, alabaster double vanity, and oversized steam shower. The lower level offers a cinema-quality theatre, glass wine lounge, climate-controlled 1,000-bottle wine cellar, fitness studio, full spa, music room, nanny suite, and cedar-lined storage. Outside, a resort-style saltwater pool with a stone waterfall is surrounded by limestone terraces, a private gazebo, fire pit, children's play area, and beautifully landscaped gardens leading to the water's edge. Premium finishes include limestone, marble, alabaster, granite, travertine, quartz, porcelain, gold leaf, and Swarovski crystal. More than a residence, this is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to own one of the most iconic waterfront estates.
