## The Hidden Shore
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
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.

## The hidden trail
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.

## The residence
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. 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. 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.

## Floor plans (iGUIDE, approximate)
- Main floor (1,160 sq ft): Living room, kitchen, dining room, bedroom, 3-piece bath, porch and patio
- Lower level (1,460 sq ft): Primary suite with 5-piece ensuite, walk-in closet and balcony, two bedrooms, 3-piece bath, powder room, laundry, deck
- Walk-out level (1,096 sq ft): Rec room, home gym, bedroom with 3-piece ensuite, storage, walk-out to the deck

## Films
- The Home That Moves You (1:50): https://868danforth.com/film/868-danforth-lifestyle-720.mp4. 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.
- The Tour (1:45): https://868danforth.com/film/868-danforth-tour-720.mp4. From the dusk drone over the bay to the stars over the roof: a walk through all three levels and down to the water.
- The Hidden Shore (0:20): https://868danforth.com/film/868-danforth-trailer-1080.mp4. A run along the hidden trail, through the trees and up to the house, then out over the bay: the property in twenty seconds.

## The setting: Aldershot, Burlington
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.

- Spring: Everything comes back to life. The gardens on the slope fill in, the trail dries out and the decks come back into use.
- Summer: Active on the water. Afternoons at the shore, long dinners on the deck and the fireworks across the harbour.
- Fall: Quiet shoreline walks under the turning trees, and the hot tub earns its keep as the evenings cool.
- Winter: Stillness, ice on the bay and skating on the colder days. Then the fireplace, and the view from inside.
