Description

Only offered twice in 40 years, this is a rare and romantic slice of Port Dalhousie, tucked behind a white picket fence and framed by majestic century trees. This exceptional waterfront property stretches to the shores of Martindale Pond, offering serenity, privacy, and natural beauty rarely found within city limits. The backyard is a true retreat, featuring an inground pool, charming cabana, lush gardens, and a private dock at the water's edge. Enjoy morning coffee, sunset cocktails, or front-row views of world-class rowing from your own shoreline. Inside, the home blends historic charm with a thoughtfully designed 2-storey, 1,680 sq ft addition, creating a warm and welcoming space ideal for gathering. The original 950 sq ft home showcases custom millwork, a beamed dining room ceiling, and cozy character, while the 2010 addition offers a stunning kitchen, pond-view great room, and a spectacular primary suite with balcony, vaulted ceiling, gas fireplace, and breathtaking outlook. Two staircases enhance flow and flexibility. Skylit bedrooms, three gas fireplaces, and a layout that allows for a separate guest retreat or private children's wing add versatility. A poured concrete basement with 9' ceilings offers outstanding potential for additional finished living space, while a Generac generator, updated mechanicals, and meticulous care throughout provide comfort and peace of mind. Port Dalhousie is a prestigious lakeside enclave known for sandy beaches, private marinas, waterfront trails, acclaimed dining, and the world-famous Henley Island rowing course. Minutes to wineries, golf, and highway access, this is one of Niagara's most exclusive lifestyle communities.
