About 539 Ontario Street
A truly special architectural residence, privately tucked away in one of Ancaster’s most secluded and coveted settings, just steps to The Old Mill, conservation lands and scenic trails. Surrounded by mature trees on an exceptional half-acre lot, this meticulously maintained home offers an extraordinary sense of privacy, natural beauty and tranquility. Designed by renowned architect Trevor Garwood-Jones and expertly built by Jeff Robinson, this superbly conceived open-concept home showcases exceptional quality and timeless design. Plaster construction, cedar shake roof, generous Pella windows, soaring ceilings and strategically placed skylights create an interior that is remarkably bright and filled with natural light. The heart of the home is an inviting, open living space featuring extensive custom oak built-ins, a striking two-way wood-burning marble fireplace and seamless views of the beautifully landscaped grounds. The Barzotti kitchen is both elegant and highly functional, with an abundance of cabinetry, peninsula island, integrated appliances and Italian-imported ceramic flooring. A sunroom framed by expansive atrium windows provides a peaceful connection to the outdoors, with a sliding door leading directly to the oversized deck overlooking the private treed setting. The fully finished walk-out lower level extends the living space with a bright recreation room, wet bar room, games rooms, office and sauna with three-piece bathroom. With its walk-out access and versatile layout, this level offers exceptional potential for a dream entertainment space, guest accommodations or a comfortable in-law suite. Outside, the spectacular grounds are designed for both entertaining and escape with two generous decks and interlocking patio allowing for multiple areas to enjoy the surrounding landscape. A rare opportunity to own a thoughtfully designed architectural home where exceptional craftsmanship, privacy and nature come together in a truly remarkable Ancaster setting.
