68 Holyrood Avenue

68 Holyrood is more than a house – it’s a home designed with great love and care, waiting to be cherished by its next owners. This exquisitely finished, custom-designed home unlike any other, is an oasis in one of the loveliest areas of Old Oakville on a huge, treed ravine lot featuring a large stone patio, a creek with foot bridge over a spectacular self-sustaining garden leading to another stone patio area and custom outbuilding. The extensive two-level upper terrace constructed of maintenance-free Fiberon decking and top-of-the-line Ultra glass railing system connects to the lower patio and offers breathtaking views of the park-like setting. The house, originally built in 1956, has been completely redesigned with a seamless addition that creates an environment that is both spacious and cozy. This home was designed for a versatility of lifestyles ranging from an intimate evening for two in front of the fireplace to cocktails and canapés for 75. It’s a family friendly home close to schools and parks. A 15-minute walk through a beautiful neighbourhood to the shops and restaurants of downtown Oakville and a 2-minute walk to Holyrood Park on the shore of Lake Ontario, this stunning home is close to Appleby College and a 10 minute drive to the QEW/GO Station. Every detail of the interior has been lovingly considered with high-end finishes and an open main floor layout including a gorgeous living room with gas fireplace, a large dining room with a marble-topped custom-cabinet servery, a sun room with a skylight and double 6-foot sliders to the terrace, and a large kitchen with custom-built cabinetry and granite counters and backsplash, a walk-in pantry, high end appliances and a big working island with attached table seating. The large master bedroom is isolated at the top of the house with original pine flooring, three closets and large windows on two sides. The six-piece en suite bathroom features his-and-her sinks, bidet, whirlpool tub and large glass-enclosed shower with marble throughout. Another bedroom is located on a 2nd upper level of the house with a big, picture window sharing that level with a four-piece bathroom and walk-in linen closet. Off the main level’s wide hallway, there is a stunning two-piece powder room across from a study/bedroom with large picture window and double closet. Leading off the kitchen is another level with an elegant, split stairway to the laundry room and interior garage entry. The expansive ground level space includes a great room with crystal brick wall and two double six-foot sliders giving access to the patio. This fabulous space also features a large, elegant bathroom with walk-in shower and custom cabinetry, walk-in closet, two completely finished storage rooms and a large 4th bedroom with fireplace.
