198 Emerald Drive, Saugeen Shores, ON

Custom built in 2014 just minutes away from Southampton's beach and heritage downtown, this unique home was thoughtfully designed around two themes: to bring natural light into every airy room and to make it easy to savour everything that makes Southampton such an incredible place to live. Every facet of this beautiful bungalow, poised on its bright corner lot, is intentional. With oversized windows, nine-foot ceilings, glowing hardwood floors, and an open concept layout, the main floor feels sunlit, spacious, and incredibly inviting. The kitchen, dining and living room flow seamlessly together, made cozier in winter with a gas fireplace and opening onto a generous wraparound porch for lazy summer and rainy-day gatherings. This home invites relaxed entertainment of family and friends. The primary suite offers plenty of natural light, a spacious walk-in closet, and a private ensuite. The main floor laundry, a 4-piece bathroom and a second bedroom or den complete both ease and accessibility for one floor living. The lower level offers an abundance of living space with an oversized family room, three bedrooms with big south-facing windows, a 3-piece bathroom, and exceptional storage space. The back deck provides a private and secluded outdoor living area with a gas barbeque. A handy person's dream, the detached, insulated and wired garage/workshop makes parking and back entry into this home extremely convenient. What makes this beautiful bungalow truly special is its proximity by foot or bike to Southampton's stellar beaches, unique shops and restaurants, its hospital, parks, and cultural events. Living in this heritage Lake Huron community is a unique experience; this home is truly one of a kind.
