majestic century-old log home on over 11 acres
A century-old log home just outside Milton, nestled on the edge of the Escarpment on 11.4 acres. This majestic home, steeped in history and timeless beauty, was meticulously transported piece by piece from an island in the Ottawa Valley. Renowned Ontario architect Mel Shakespeare expertly melded two historic log homes to create this stately residence offering solitude and serenity, strategically situated for breathtaking views of the Toronto skyline and just minutes from amenities. The updated kitchen is a chef's dream, featuring state-of-the-art cabinets, stone and quartz counters, a La Cornue oven, built-in Jenn-Air fridge and freezer, and a large dining area with a panoramic city view. A butler's pantry adds ample cabinetry, a wine fridge, and a beverage fridge. The kitchen retains the charm of the original log home w a wood-burning stove, brick oven, exposed log walls, and original pine wood floors, while modern updates ensure comfort and convenience. The living room features a Rumford-style fireplace, converted to gas for convenience, yet retaining the charm of yesteryear. A large laundry room doubles as an office with stunning built-in cabinetry. The side entry offers a mudroom, 2-piece bathroom, and den. Upstairs, each of the three bedrooms has a fully updated ensuite bath, with the primary suite providing a spacious and cozy retreat, generous walk-in closet, custom-built cabinets, and large 4-piece ensuite. The finished basement includes a rec room, 4th bedroom and 3-piece bath, perfect for additional living space or in-law suite with separate entrance. Adjacent from the main house, a two-car garage made from a third log house includes a loft and basement, providing ample storage and additional functionality. Geothermal energy heats and cools this home. The roof is Enviroshake premium composite, replicating cedar's natural aesthetic w unbeatable performance. This log house is more than a home; it's a living piece of history, waiting for its next chapter.
