Luxury Beachfront Estate

A luxury beachfront opportunity like no other. Welcome to 1521 Stockton Lane. A modern, fully renovated 4 bedroom, 3.5 bathroom beach house on Lake Erie with 175 feet of sandy shoreline. Tucked away on a tree-lined 3.7 acre estate down a private laneway, this unique offering provides the modern comforts of everyday living with the escapism of a luxury resort. Located within minutes of the Peace Bridge and Buffalo border, the picturesque town of Ridgeway, while only a short drive to the amenities of Niagara Falls and the wineries of Niagara on the Lake, this location offers a year round lifestyle hard to find anywhere else.

As you emerge from the winding tree canopied driveway, 1521 Stockton Lane emerges, an impressive facade overlooking the sandy shores of Lake Erie. A circular driveway invites you in to the covered front porch and mature perennial gardens. Enter the foyer, with built in window seat to be greeted by rare douglas fir hardwood floors and newly painted neutral tones found throughout the home. The open concept great room is sight to behold with a soaring two storey cathedral ceiling with tongue and groove detailing and wooden beams. Floor to ceiling picture windows encapsulate the breathtaking view of the private beachfront, with a stately stone gas fireplace grounding the room. A hidden wet bar cabinet is the perfect compliment to this space. The formal dining room overlooks the great room, with direct access to the screened in porch and the kitchen, creating the ideal flow for entertaining. The cozy family room has hidden pocket doors on both entrances, a flexible space for either a den or home office. The chef’s kitchen overlooks the beachfront with another walk-out to the screened in porch while offering all of the modern luxuries one desires with an impressive 11 foot island, hidden walk-in pantry with made to match cabinet doors, quartz countertops, undermount lighting and built-in stainless steel appliances. The spacious breakfast alcove offers a space for more casual meals that includes a built in desk with floating display shelves and overlooks the beach and pool while offering a walk out to the pool deck. A conveniently located 3 piece bathroom is just off the pool entrance with a walk in shower, while the laundry room is also just off the kitchen featuring a stainless steel sink, folding and hanging stations, built-in ironing board and a bonus laundry chute from upstairs. A second main floor bathroom is located just off the foyer. The inviting screened in porch offers panoramic beach, lake and backyard views with gas hook up for a fire pit or space heaters offering multi-season lounging.

Head upstairs to the bedrooms. Down the open hallway which overlooks the great room, you’ll find the primary suite which is quietly located in its own private wing. With a large picture window overlooking the beach, and a string on ribbon windows offering afternoon light, this sunny suite offers a tranquil escape. Boundless storage is provided with a convenient overhead cubby, a walk in closet with a brand new built-in cabinetry and a built-in vanity desk with wall to wall mirrors. The modern spa-like five piece ensuite features a large soaker tub with lake views, a walk in shower with dual rain shower heads, built in bench and glass surround, quartz topped vanity with dual vessel sinks and built-in medicine cabinets with LED lighting. Heated floors, built-in floating glass shelves and a skylight complete the space. A true luxury retreat. Three more spacious bedrooms are in a separate wing of the home. The second bedroom offers lake views, the third overlooks the front yard and includes a large built-in dresser, while the fourth bedroom overlooks the pool and front yard. A 3 piece bathroom with glass shower and skylight complete this level. The newly finished basement is full of luxury amenities including a spacious recreation room with custom built-in cabinetry, a separate fitness studio and built-in sauna. Ample storage is provided with multiple rooms, including a hobbyroom-workshop and a cedar closet.

The grounds of this estate offer something for everyone. The large private cove of shallow sandy beach with soft bottom shoreline overlooks Crescent Beach and the Buffalo skyline. A true resort-like atmosphere rarely found in Ontario. The fully fenced-in patio offers ample space for fun, lounging and dining with an inground concrete salt water pool and spa and a covered gazebo with built in barbecue, bar fridge and granite bar-top and TV. The surrounding tranquil gardens offer peaceful walks around the grounds. A semi-fenced in flex-space with RV power and water hook-ups provides for extra space for visiting family or is the perfect location for a floating picket ball court.

Two separate but attached 2 car garages provide for ample parking of cars or equipment. The secondary garage is a recent addition with 3rd garage door leading to the backyard. There is also a custom built drive shed made with reclaimed barn wood, a pool shed and an additional storage shed on the grounds. The exterior of the home was recently re-outfitted with new ‘Novik’ shake siding, new eaves, fascia, soffits, flashing on all windows and new vinyl stacking windows for screened in porch, and features TREX decking on front and back porches. The home comes equipped with 2 furnaces, 3 AC (1 ductless) units, a new on demand water heater and a wired in whole home generator.

A truly ideal location offering the best of both worlds - privacy and convenience. Tucked away at the edge of Fort Erie in quiet tranquility, the Peace Bridge and the Buffalo border are mere minutes away, while the picturesque town of Ridgeway is around the corner. Niagara on the Lake and Niagara Falls are a short drive offering access to nightlife, shopping, world class wineries and dining. For nature lovers, cyclists or hikers, the Friendship Recreation Trail is accessed just off Stockton Lane, an interconnected trail system with the Greater Niagara Circle Route, Lake Ontario Waterfront trail and Trans-Canada Trail. It doesn't get any better.
