OUTER HARBOUR HOUSE
Description
Nestled into the terrain, this waterfront home embraces its natural slope, revealing a dramatic North elevation where stone supports a cantilevered ground floor. Terraced steps lead to a fire pit at the shoreline, while the driveway’s roundabout welcomes guests.
At the heart, the kitchen anchors a vaulted living space with wood-clad ceilings, white oak millwork, and floor-to-ceiling glazing. Granite counters subtly echo the foyer’s flagstone, and the dining area opens to a covered deck and Muskoka Room.
The living room centers on a white oak–clad fireplace wall framed in granite, with wood and stone slats adding texture. The foyer transitions into a central corridor linking the front door, mudroom, and basement, with full-height millwork for concealed storage.
The office offers dual workstations, closed storage, and a U-shaped desk for guests. Below, granite-clad steps lead to a recreation lounge with built-in bar, foldable guest suite partition, and walk-out access to Georgian Bay, plus a gym and theatre.
The primary suite is a private retreat with water and forest views, integrated millwork, and a custom oak headboard concealing a dressing area. The ensuite pairs granite and light tile, with dual vanities, in-drawer charging, and a dedicated makeup station.
Support spaces—the pantry, mudroom, laundry, and powder rooms—are designed with equal attention to detail, offering storage, workflow, and direct outdoor connections. The result is a refined, functional residence that merges natural beauty with thoughtful design.
