Description
153 Balsam Drive is a sophisticated 4,337 sqft custom residence set on a 50' x 304' park-like lot in one of Oakville's most sought-after settings. Close to Downtown Oakville, top-rated schools, the home pairs craftsmanship with thoughtful functionality. A dramatic double-volume marble foyer with heated flooring and architectural staircase creates an elegant arrival, while custom millwork, designer lighting, oversized windows and premium white oak flooring establish a refined aesthetic throughout. The main level is designed for family living and entertaining, with gracious living and dining spaces flowing into a warm family room with a wood-burning fireplace. A dedicated office overlooks mature greenery. At the heart of the home, the kitchen features a 10' x 4' marble island, face-frame cabinetry, marble surfaces, bespoke lighting and a 60" Lacanche range with a custom plaster hood. A marble-finished pantry and heated natural-stone mudroom add function and elegance. Upstairs, four bedrooms each feature a walk-in closet. The primary suite offers a vaulted ceiling, double skylights with remote blinds, a lounge area and an oversized walk-in closet. The spa-inspired ensuite features heated marble floors, a steam shower with double heated marble seating, custom wainscoting, detailed marble trim and an imported Water Monopoly bathtub. The lower level extends the home's living and entertaining spaces with 10' ceilings and zoned underfloor heating. A fifth bedroom, recreation and games rooms, gym, wine cellar and theatre/flex space offer exceptional versatility for family living and entertaining. A heated three-car garage with car-lift capacity for two additional vehicles, plus exterior snow-melt infrastructure, adds year-round convenience. 153 Balsam Drive is a rare combination of timeless architecture, refined materials, modern functionality and exceptional attention to detail, thoughtfully brought together on one of Oakville's most coveted streets.
