The Place

A four-bedroom, two-bathroom waterfront home on the St. Clair River.

The Details

Picture this: it’s a sunny, summer morning, and after a coffee on the deck, you slide the Sea-Doo into the Escarte Channel and zoom right over to the beautiful blue waters of the St. Clair River for a morning cruise. That evening, the neighbours gather at your place, spread out across the kitchen and living room in your open-concept space, while someone fries up the day’s catch on the back deck. River living at its best, and this week’s four-bed, two-bath home in Port Lambton provides it in spades.

Located on a small spit of land jutting out into the river, this is a unique waterfront property in a great community. With four bedrooms and two bathrooms, it fits the bill as either an ideal cottage or a riverfront home, depending on your lifestyle and situation. It comes with a gorgeous three-level dock facing the sunset, two jet-ski lifts and will definitely cater to boat owners, but also includes a man-made sandy area for the swimmers in the family.

The main living space of the home is the inviting open-concept space, featuring 17-foot vaulted ceilings, hardwood floors and windows that welcome loads of light. The kitchen centres around a large central island, and comes with a significant amount of cabinet storage, bar-style seating at the island and dramatic hanging light fixtures. Next to the kitchen, there’s a dining room area that features a fireplace and a TV hookup. The other side of this main room offers plenty of space for living room furniture ― although the space is flexible enough that you could easily impose your own design vision on the space.

Overlooking the main room, there’s the loft-style second level. The primary suite includes a full bathroom, plus a large walk-in closet and a small office space on the interior balcony. There are three other spacious bedrooms in this home, all located on the main level, so you’ve got ample space for cottage guests or larger families. The laundry room is also located on the main level.

Since it’s unlikely that your boat is your only mode of transportation, this home has an attached two-car garage, which would also make for a great workshop space with its built-in workbench and ample storage space.

But the main draw will be, naturally, the riverfront part of this home. From the main room of the house, you can access the beautiful screened-in covered porch, which provides a nice middle ground between interior and exterior and will work as a true three-season room. Down the steps, you can access the waterfront dock ― a three-level deck that has a covered boat lift, an upper deck and ladders leading into the water. There’s lots of space for seating, and wonderful amenities like an outdoor shower and a hot tub. It’s a true recreation-focused space that will be the highlight of the home for most people ― whether they think of themselves as river people or not.
