The action
This three-bedroom bungalow is on a one-acre lot with 197 feet of beachfront along Lake Ontario, halfway between Toronto and Niagara Falls. The property also has a new infinity pool, a pool house and a sunken fire pit.
“You’re not finding a lot of lakefront properties anywhere, but this is a one-acre, lakefront property,” agent Michael St. Jean said.
“Sometimes, lakefront properties just have grass, and it drops off into rocks or water. But here, you have a legitimate beach.”
The unique lakeside location carried a hefty $5,495,000 price tag, trimmed by $200,000 in December to keep buyers interested. Six weeks later, a buyer cut a deal for a further $370,000 discount.
“With these kinds of properties … they don’t tend to be quick transactions, even if the buyer is serious, like in this case,” Mr. St. Jean said.
“We got a good result as far as time on market, given the unique nature and price point of this product.”

What they got
This 37-year-old bungalow has an attached triple garage and 5,226 square feet of living space with 10- to 20-foot ceilings.
There is an office, a living room, a dining room and a family room with a gas fireplace and a balcony.
The two-tiered patio can be reached from the eat-in kitchen and the indoor pool, which also has skylights and a vaulted cedar ceiling.
There are eight bathrooms and an elevator to the basement, which is fully finished with a kitchen, bedrooms and recreation areas.
The backyard features an infinity pool and a sunken fire pit.
The agent’s take
“It’s got the full package if you were looking for something move-in ready with every bell and whistle you can imagine,” Mr. St. Jean said.
“You’ve got the lake, the outdoor and indoor pools. Usually, you’re just happy to have one of those three.”
