ABOUT
There is a calm that settles over 164A Lakeshore Road the moment you arrive, shaped by thoughtful architecture and a natural connection to the ravine below. Designed by Tom Arbek with Frank Lloyd Wright inspiration, the exterior carries a quiet elegance with a multi-level layout that follows the landscape with intention. That sense of ease extends outdoors through decks that reach toward the ravine and gather shifting light throughout the day, while the inground pool rests among trees and bamboo accents. Perennials add beauty with minimal upkeep, allowing the surroundings to feel effortless in every season. Inside, light moves across the tall windows from sunrise into evening, guiding you through spaces that feel both refined and welcoming. The foyer opens to the great room where height, warmth, and natural light anchor the home. The living area surrounds the fireplace and flows into the dining area and kitchen. Double built-in ovens, a glass cooktop, a bespoke smart fridge, a skylight, and a walk-out to the upper deck all contribute to a kitchen designed for gathering. The primary suite rests on this level with expansive windows, a walk-in closet, a 5-piece ensuite, and its own walk-out. A second bedroom, a 4-piece bath, and a well-planned laundry and pantry complete the main level. The lower level offers remarkable flexibility to support different lifestyles. The in-law suite includes tall ceilings, large windows, a family room with a fireplace, a kitchenette, and a bedroom with an ensuite. Another wing features a rec room, a full kitchen, two bedrooms, and a spa-inspired bath with a steam shower, rain shower, and body jets. Both areas have separate entrances, creating opportunities for privacy, multigenerational living, dedicated guest quarters, or a home business. This is a home shaped by light, privacy, and natural beauty. It invites you to slow down, find inspiration in the landscape, and experience a way of living that feels both elevated and deeply grounded.

DEAR BUYERS,
There is a calm here that settles in gently, usually in the early hours when the sun begins to rise over the ravine. The light filters through the trees in soft, shifting colours and fills the primary suite before the day even begins. It is one of the first things we fell in love with and one of the things we will miss most.
Living here has felt like being surrounded by quiet layers of nature. The creek runs below, carrying birdsong through the yard, and each tier of the property offers its own pocket of stillness. We have spent mornings on the lower deck where you feel tucked right into the ravine, afternoons beside the pool with the water feature creating its own rhythm, and evenings on the upper deck with the fire glowing as the sky fades. Every corner invites you to pause for a moment and breathe.
Inside the house, life unfolds with the same sense of ease. The great room has been the heart of so many gatherings where the wood-burning fire draws everyone together. Yet there are just as many places to retreat when the day calls for quiet. The spa room, the therapeutic air tub, and the steam shower have become part of our routines, creating simple rituals that restore and reset. The windows throughout the home have framed countless sunrises and sunsets and have filled even everyday moments with beauty.
We have loved the balance this property offers. It feels secluded and private, almost hidden within its landscape, yet it is only moments from the lakefront trails, Port Dalhousie, Niagara-on-the-Lake, and the conveniences of the north end. It has allowed us to step into nature from the front door while still being close to everything we need.
This home has held our family through seasons of life and has given us comfort, inspiration, and a sense of being connected to something peaceful. As we pass it on, our hope is that you will feel what we felt when we first arrived, that quiet acknowledgement that this place is special.
May the light through the windows, the sound of the creek, and the sanctuary of the ravine become part of your life as deeply as they have been part of ours.
Sincerely,
Corrie & John
