138 Nicholson Point Road — Detached

Lake Ontario waterfront, on a quiet street, just minutes from the city, surrounded by protected forest, and move-in ready. At, $825,000, it's the kind of property that makes you stop and wonder how it's even possible. This absolutely charming 2-bedroom, 1-bath home has been meticulously maintained and thoughtfully updated over decades of proud ownership. All of the important work is done: metal roof, updated Ecoflow septic system (sized for a much larger home), energy improvements including windows and significant insulation upgrades. Move-in ready doesn't quite do it justice. Beyond care and maintenance, what sets this home apart is the intention behind it. Inspired by Christopher Alexander's A Pattern Language, the design focuses on natural light, comfort, and everyday livability - with windows on multiple sides of each room, cozy window seats, and clever storage throughout. Originally built in 1948, the home retains character where it matters. The red pine floors, in particular, are a standout - warm, natural, and timeless. Outside, the setting is just as compelling. Expansive views across Lake Ontario toward Amherst Island, mature trees, perennial gardens, and a peaceful, welcoming atmosphere. Directly across the road, protected woodland offers trails, wildflowers, and a natural landscape that will remain untouched forever. It's a place to slow down, unwind, and feel connected - to the water, to nature, and to home. Ideal for down-sizers, couples, or anyone seeking a waterfront getaway. With the oversized septic system, there's also flexibility for significant expansion or to reimagine the home over time. It's a rare opportunity to step into Lake Ontario waterfront living at a price you can afford.
