This English Country Garden home, framed by a storybook white picket fence, sits on a truly exceptional 100' x 168' lot in Orchard Beach, south of Lakeshore Rd in Old Oakville. Quiet and serene Howard Avenue, just two blocks long, is one of only a handful of streets in Oakville offering unobstructed views of Lake Ontario. Further 74 Howard Avenue enjoys coveted southwest exposure, bathing the home in golden-hour light. Cherished by the same owners for 30 years, this residence has been a wonderful home and location to raise their family. The gardens are simply stunning, with perennial plants, too numerous to mention. The home offers 4+1 bedrooms and features two thoughtfully integrated additions. The first includes a spacious kitchen, office, and principal suite with a gas fireplace. The second is a vaulted, light-filled family room with an additional gas fireplace. This is a wonderful home for dinner parties with a formal dining room and an architecturally charming living room featuring an original well enjoyed wood-burning fireplace.
