The Carmen Elisabeth Lake House - basement unit will steal your heart. From the magical grounds situated right on the lake to the exquisite interior brimming with old-world charm and character, this whimsical home is something you must experience for yourself! The Lakehouse is sitting on Lake Ontario in the Burlington downtown core with views of the water. The property is ideally located off the very sought-after Lakeshore Road, however, it is hidden behind lush vegetation & apple orchard. Even if the unit is situated on the lower level (basement), you are welcome to use all the amenities of the property. And the unit gets plenty of natural light. This is a basement unit. But do not let that change your mind. This is bright and specious and I promise you will have an absolutely mind-blowing time over here. Our backyard offers picturesque views of the water. Relax around the fire pit in Muskoka chairs and loungers. Access to the lake is private via the stairs at the end of the yard. PLEASE USE STAIRS AT OWN RISK.

The Property is ideally located in the core of Burlington Ontario. In 15 minutes you can walk to the downtown of Burlington offering fantastic dining & restaurant options, spas, boutique shopping, cafes, gyms, exercise facilities, art galleries, the theatre, etc. The house is located right off of Lakeshore Road, one of the most desirable streets in Burlington with executive homes dotted all along the lakefront. The neighbourhood features a very mature landscape, and the house is peacefully tucked away from the main road. The property is a 5 minute drive to the nearest go station which can take you all over the Greater Toronto Area, a 5 minute drive to the nearest grocery stores, 5 minute drive to the Highway, 5 minute drive to shopping mall, 35 minutes to downtown Toronto, and 40 minutes to Niagara on the Lake. Ideally centralized, you can have the best of both worlds. **we welcome furry friends for a fee per stay, this fee goes to the cleaning team for the extra hours/labour required to ensure no pet hairs are left.
