Property Description
This English Country Garden home, framed by a storybook white picket fence, sits on a truly exceptional 100' x 168' lot in Orchard Beach, south of Lakeshore Rd in Old Oakville. Quiet and serene Howard Avenue, just two blocks long, is one of only a handful of streets in Oakville offering unobstructed views of Lake Ontario. Further 74 Howard Avenue enjoys coveted southwest exposure, bathing the home in golden-hour light. Cherished by the same owners for 30 years, this residence has been a wonderful home and location to raise their family. The gardens are simply stunning, with perennial plants, too numerous to mention. The home offers 4+1 bedrooms and features two thoughtfully integrated additions. The first includes a spacious kitchen, office, and principal suite with a gas fireplace. The second is a vaulted, light-filled family room with an additional gas fireplace. This is a wonderful home for dinner parties with a formal dining room and an architecturally charming living room featuring an original well enjoyed wood-burning fireplace. A detached, oversized double garage/coach house with loft has most recently been used as an office. The property offers exceptional flexibility: enjoy as-is, renovate, or redevelop. RL3-0 zoning allows premium lot coverage, with permits in place and transferable to sever and build two homes. Severance approval is based on a conceptual design by John Willmott, Architect, envisioning up to a 3,331 sq ft, 4+1-bedroom residence with a two-car garage. Morning walks deliver breathtaking sunrises by the lake, while the SW exposure provides long, light-filled evenings ideal for indoor-outdoor living. The tree-lined perimeter offers rare privacy. Just a short stroll to downtown Oakville, boutique shopping, fine dining, top-rated schools, and major highways. Premium land offerings in Old Oakville are rare-secure your legacy in one of the GTA's most prestigious settings. Luxury Certified.
