9551 Somerset Drive

A property that must be visited to be fully experienced! Offered publicly for the first time in its history, this remarkably maintained three-bedroom, two-full-bath Lake Ontario home has been cherished by its original owner and showcases distinctive mid-century modern character throughout. Supremely well built by a municipal contractor, the 2,170-square-foot residence rests on a level 0.40-acre parcel with approximately 75 feet of lake frontage amid the orchards and agricultural landscape of Barker. A slate-stone ramped entry provides convenient access to the foyer which invites you into a large living room with picture window overlooking the shorelines. Above, a suspended-plank staircase leads to an impressive primary suite featuring a massive picture window with sweeping views across miles of Lake Ontario toward Toronto, a large walk-in closet and a separate powder or dressing room adjoining the full bath. Along the east wing -two first-floor bedrooms, a full bath with tiled shower and first-floor laundry provide the ease of ranch-style living. Knotty-pine ceilings enrich the kitchen, living room and first-floor bedrooms, while a brick gas-insert fireplace adds warmth and character. The enclosed lakefront porch invites year-round enjoyment of the water views and convenience of a built in grill for variable cooking styles no matter the weather. Additional features include a deep 2.5-car attached garage connected to a built-in workshop through a generous four-foot-wide door, providing excellent space for projects, equipment and hobbies. Substantial investment was made to include a new oil tank, newer hot-water heater, roof, resurfaced driveway and shoreline boulders to provide substantial erosion protection. With its adaptable first-floor layout, enduring construction, waterfront setting and preserved architectural details, this is a truly singular property ready for its next chapter. Showings commence on Thursday 11/12 at 5pm.
