2576 HOWE ISLAND DRIVE, Frontenac Islands (Howe Island)

About this property

Architecturally designed by Charles Maddison and custom built in 1983, this waterfront home has been cherished by the same family since it was built. Set on the north shore of Howe Island, the property offers a combination of privacy, natural beauty & recreation. Designed to maximize light and views, the open concept main floor is filled with natural sunlight from windows on every side. A curved staircase serves as the home's architectural centre piece, while hardwood floors add warmth throughout the living spaces. The living & dining rooms flow seamlessly into a bright sunroom, creating inviting spaces for both entertaining and everyday. The kitchen was beautifully renovated in 2015 with timeless finishes and excellent functionality. Geothermal heating & mini-split air conditioning provide efficient, comfortable climate control throughout the seasons. Upstairs are 4 bedrooms, including a spacious primary suite with its own ensuite bath & deck overlooking the property. A versatile den shared by two of the bedrooms offers the perfect space for a home office, study area, or playroom. Outside, the property has been designed to embrace an active waterfront lifestyle. Spend summer afternoons by the inground pool with its newer liner, enjoy a match on your private tennis court, or relax among the beautifully landscaped gardens and productive vegetable garden. The shoreline is equally impressive. A substantial cement dock with a solar-powered boat lift provides easy access to the St. Lawrence River, with approximately three feet of water off the dock for swimming and boating. Later in the season, a private stone beach emerges, creating a peaceful place to enjoy the waterfront. A comprehensive list of updates is available. Combining timeless architecture, quality construction, exceptional waterfront amenities, and a spectacular island setting close to Kingston, this is a unique opportunity to own one of Howe Island's most distinctive homes.
