Filled with natural light, it features spectacular cathedral ceilings, two inviting living rooms, and panoramic river views from nearly every room.

A rare opportunity to experience an unparalleled waterfront lifestyle.

This exceptional waterfront property tells a story as rich as its architecture. Originally consisting of a 1940s home and a detached garage, it was transformed in the 1980s through the vision of architect Douglas Hardie, who designed a remarkable addition that seamlessly connected the two structures while creating additional bedrooms above the garage. To this day, every room reflects his architectural vision, where natural light and breathtaking river views take center stage. In preserving the property's character and history, the original cedar siding from the exterior of the home was carefully reclaimed and incorporated into the interior wa...lls, adding warmth, authenticity, and timeless charm.

Designed to showcase its extraordinary setting, the residence was expanded and reimagined by architect and owner Douglas Hardie, achieving a perfect harmony between architecture and landscape. A spectacular cathedral ceiling rising over 20 feet anchors the secondary living room, while panoramic water views grace nearly every room in the home. The property boasts 94 feet of waterfront frontage, ideally positioned to enjoy sunlight throughout the day and unforgettable sunsets in the evening. Recent improvements include a new furnace (2019), a new roof (2021), and a new hot water tank (2023). A spacious double garage with workshop completes this rare and distinguished offering.

Outside, the gently sloping shoreline provides safe and easy access to the water, making it ideal for swimming, kayaking, canoeing, and sailing. An exceptional property offering a truly unparalleled waterfront lifestyle.
