Welcome to a residence admired by all. This renewed Second Empire home is one of Stratford's most commanding waterfront properties-an 1870 architectural landmark rebuilt to modern standards while preserving its historic identity. Elevated above Lake Victoria with its own private shoreline, it offers sweeping, unobstructed views across the water to parks, trails, and the historic core. Multiple patios, balconies, and curated landscaping maximize the elevation, creating a rare combination of privacy and scenery.Inside, the home immediately reveals soaring ceilings and exceptional room scale seldom found today. A modern renovation creates a sophisticated interior wrapped in timeless heritage detail. Restored plasterwork, period millwork, and tall windows anchor every principal room. The main floor includes a dedicated cocktail lounge and bar area, seamlessly integrated into the original formal layout-ideal for refined entertaining and memorable gatherings. The custom centre staircase sets the tone for the entire interior as it rises as a sculptural statement to the second level, showcasing the scale and craftsmanship of the restoration.The kitchen and baths are fully rebuilt with custom cabinetry, stone surfaces, and premium fixtures. All electrical, plumbing, HVAC, insulation, and mechanical systems are new. The lower level is a true walk-out, finished as a five-star private apartment overlooking the lake, offering full-height ceilings and direct outdoor access-ideal for guests, extended family, or professional use.The fully detached garage adds opportunity for the car enthusiast, with a lower garden room providing additional storage or a dedicated gardening workshop.The 3-bedroom plan blends original craftsmanship with modern engineering, eliminating the compromises typical of 19th-century homes. Experience of architectural quality, elevated waterfront living, just minutes from Stratford's world-class theatre, dining, shopping, parks, and seasonal events. (id:50976)
