Gracious, architecturally significant estate home on a near 1 acre lot in one of the most desired locations in southeast Oakville. Tremendous attention to details to preserve the historical character of this home. This is a wonderful family home offering room for pool, tennis court, gazebo etc. all just steps from downtown and the lake.In 1860 William Wass purchased a 100 acre farm on the east edge of Oakville. He then contracted William Lee to erect a large & impressive home that would better reflect his successes. During the 1870's, a house of this magnitude was invariably fashioned of brick or at least of stucco, but for some reason Wass changed his mind & had the structure sheathed in a finely milled cove siding. The home underwent a Gren Weis reno & addition in 94-95. Over $1.2 million spent on all new windows, exterior cladding, all new electrical, heating, roof, insulation, foundation & basement slab. Totally restored T/O incl:all new doors, refinished flooring, baseboards, crown moldings, all millwork & the original fireplaces have been lovingly restored. All work is in keeping with the Heritage Character of the home. $2,948,000...(read less)
