The Hidden Shore

Hard to find. Impossible to forget.

A rare waterfront setting in Burlington where land, water and everyday living come together in a way that feels both natural and hard to find. Nearly half an acre, over 130 feet of shoreline, and a home that sits high above the bay with wide open views.

From the street it stays tucked away. Walk toward the water and it opens up around you: the view stretches out, the air changes and the setting takes over. Quiet here, and still minutes from everything you need.

The Waterfront

Over 130 feet of shoreline on Burlington Bay.

The house stands high on the bank with the whole bay laid out in front of it: open water, the far shore and the skyline beyond. Stairs and a lawn carry you down the slope to a waterside deck at the shoreline.

Afternoons on or around the water in summer. Stillness and skating on the coldest days of winter. And on certain nights, fireworks glowing across the harbour from your own deck.

  • 130+ ft of shoreline
  • Nearly ½ acre
  • Elevated bay views
  • Waterside deck

The Hidden Trail

Half a kilometre of shoreline, and a gate at the end of your yard.

The standout here is a hidden waterfront trail that runs nearly half a kilometre along the shoreline, reached directly from the property. It becomes part of the day: a morning walk, a run along the water, or just stepping out to reset.

Summer is active, fall brings quiet walks under the turning trees, winter offers stillness, and spring brings everything back to life.

  • Nearly ½ km
  • Direct access
  • Along the water
  • Every season

The Films

See it the way you'd live it.

A day at The Hidden Shore.

A run along the hidden trail at sunrise, coffee above the water, a summer afternoon at the shore, dinner as the city lights come on across the harbour. Sound on.

Life Outside

Layered decks, every one facing the water.

Life here naturally moves outdoors. Decks with glass railings step down the bank from each level, so there is always a spot in the sun, a spot in the shade and a spot to watch the sun go down.

Mornings start quietly with coffee above the water. Evenings slow down in the hot tub, with the city lights coming on across the harbour.

  • Glass railings
  • Hot tub
  • Outdoor dining
  • Lounge decks

Evenings slow down here. The sky turns over the bay, the house lights up level by level, and across the harbour the city starts to sparkle.

Dinner on the deck, a soak in the hot tub, and on certain nights fireworks over the water. Clear nights bring the stars right down over the roof.

Real dusk and night photography and film, no virtual twilight.

The Residence

Three levels. A view of the water from every one.

Inside, the home spans 3,715 square feet across three levels, each with its own view of the bay. The layout is flexible for living, working and hosting, with a natural separation between spaces.

The main floor opens wide: a living room around a stone-surround fireplace, a long white kitchen with double wall ovens and a quartz island for four, and a dining room wrapped in glass on three sides, right above the water.

  • 3,715 sq ft
  • 5 bedrooms
  • 4 full baths + powder
  • Contemporary design

The Primary Suite

Wake up to the bay.

The primary suite takes the water side of the lower level, with its own balcony over the trees, a walk-in closet and a five-piece ensuite.

In the ensuite: a freestanding soaker tub by the window, a curbless glass shower with a rain head and a long double vanity in warm wood.

  • Private balcony
  • Walk-in closet
  • 5-piece ensuite
  • Soaker tub

The Walk-Out Level

A rec room that opens straight onto the deck.

The walk-out level is built for the way people actually live: a big rec room around a three-sided glass fireplace, doors straight out to the deck, a bar for the coffee in the morning and the drinks at night, and a full home gym.

A fifth bedroom with its own ensuite makes it a natural guest wing, or a private space for a teenager or a parent.

  • Walk-out
  • Three-sided fireplace
  • Home gym
  • Bar

Bedrooms

Five bedrooms. Room for everyone, and a view for most of them.

Five bedrooms are spread across all three levels, so guests, kids and parents each get their own floor if they want it. Four full bathrooms and a powder room keep the mornings moving.

  • 5 bedrooms
  • On three levels
  • 4 full baths
  • Powder room

Floor plans

Three levels, laid out.

Arrival

Tucked away from the street.

A private stone driveway with parking for five leads to a stone courtyard at the front door, screened by mature pines. From the street, you would never guess what is waiting on the other side.

  • Parking for 5
  • Stone courtyard
  • Mature trees

The Setting

Aldershot's shoreline. Between two downtowns.

Aldershot is Burlington's quiet west end, held between Burlington Bay and the Royal Botanical Gardens. Shoreline here almost never comes up, and a lot like this one, set high above the water with a trail along it, comes up even less.

Yet everything stays close: the Royal Botanical Gardens about 4 minutes away, Aldershot GO about 6, LaSalle Park and its marina about 6, and downtown Burlington and downtown Hamilton each about 12.

A year here

Every season brings something different.

01

Spring

Everything comes back to life. The gardens on the slope fill in, the trail dries out and the decks come back into use.

02

Summer

Active on the water. Afternoons at the shore, long dinners on the deck and the fireworks across the harbour.

03

Fall

Quiet shoreline walks under the turning trees, and the hot tub earns its keep as the evenings cool.

04

Winter

Stillness, ice on the bay and skating on the colder days. Then the fireplace, and the view from inside.

The Found Spaces collection

Luxury and waterfront homes for sale in Burlington, now.

Two more are open for early access before they come to market: a 100-acre private-lake estate in Flamborough and a brand-new build at 952 Danforth Avenue just up the road in Aldershot.

Waterfront in Burlington rarely comes to market, and when it does it usually trades quietly. Each has its own site and its own films; the listed homes are shown privately by appointment.

Why is Burlington waterfront so rare?
Burlington's shoreline on Lake Ontario and Burlington Bay is short and almost fully built out, and most waterfront owners hold for decades. A lot with over 130 feet of frontage, set high above the water with its own trail access and within about 12 minutes of two downtowns, very seldom comes up.

Yes.

There are also three short reels.
