Overview
This classic waterfront home at 57 Ilford Avenue echoes the charm of the 1970s retro era with its preserved mid-century aesthetics and exceptional lakefront positioning. Expansive 180-degree views over the lake offer a serene outlook that few waterfront properties can match, ensuring the immensity of the natural surroundings is a constant feature from nearly every room. Its untouched vintage styling, including signature wood-paneled walls and patterned carpets, combines with a versatile layout spanning two levels and three distinct living areas, allowing easy adaptation to both family living and social entertaining.
Set on a sizeable 1410sqm parcel of absolute waterfront land, this property boasts exclusive access to a private boat ramp and jetty, perfect for boating enthusiasts and those eager to embrace an aquatic lifestyle. The home features three bedrooms with two enjoying water views, complemented by three bathrooms, including an oversized main bedroom opening to an L-shaped balcony that provides a tranquil vantage point over the water.
Designed with entertaining in mind, the home includes a semi-enclosed balcony that allows residents and guests to engage with the stunning lakeside backdrop while enjoying a meal or gathering. Additional spaces such as a large lounge, a games room on the ground floor, and a separate self-contained studio near the water’s edge enhance the property's flexibility. The studio, equipped with air conditioning, kitchen, bathroom, and bedroom facilities, offers an excellent opportunity for rental income or guest accommodation.
With an oversized lock-up garage, carport, and lockable storage room, practical aspects of family and recreational life are well accommodated. The home, while structurally sound, presents an exciting prospect for renovators or developers seeking to update or rebuild, given its prime location and substantial landholding (subject to council approval).
This property is ideal for owners who appreciate character homes in premier waterfront settings, particularly those with a passion for lakeside living, boating, and entertaining. Its proximity to local parks and reserves, and lifestyle hubs such as Wangi Wangi and Toronto, add to its appeal as a holiday-like everyday residence or a weekend retreat.
