Step into a rare piece of history with Seven Oaks, a gorgeous waterfront estate of almost 5,000 sq ft, built in 1896 and lovingly preserved with period-correct charm. Set on 3.9 acres along a private stretch of Lake Erie, this iconic 6-bedroom, 4-bathroom home offers 188 feet of private shoreline and blends the elegance of a bygone era with thoughtful modern updates - making it the ultimate luxury cottage or year-round waterfront retreat. From original wide-plank floors, exposed beams, and a wood-burning fireplace to the soaring lake views and light-filled interiors, every detail reflects timeless character. Enjoy your morning coffee in the 3-season sunroom overlooking the beach, prepare meals in the galley kitchen with granite counters and gas range, and entertain effortlessly in the grand dining room and living area with a cozy lakeside sitting nook. A separate butlers pantry with sink, main-floor laundry with dual sinks, and a spacious foyer complete the main level. Upstairs, find six bright bedrooms, two lakeview balconies, and a private primary suite with a sitting room and ensuite. The third floor offers additional unfinished attic space, ideal for a creative studio, office, or guest expansion. Outside, a private, heated in-ground pool is tucked into a stone-lined grotto with a pool shed and expansive patio. A 50-foot lakeside deck, multiple sitting areas, and a winding staircase lead down to a second private beach deck and your very own stretch of sandy shoreline. Riparian rights are included. Seven Oaks is more than a home - its a legacy property steeped in natural beauty, community spirit, and lakeside living. With only 8 owners in its history, this one-of-a-kind retreat offers a rare chance to own a landmark on Lake Erie. Luxury Certified. (id:61910)
