Serene Arts and Crafts Style Cottage on a Private Shoreline

Step back in time to breezy, sunny afternoons by the Lake with 227 Green Street, a rare and enchanting lakefront property featuring over 100 feet of private shoreline on Lake Ontario. In Central Burlington, one of the city’s most coveted and walkable neighbourhoods, 227 Green Street is an Arts and Crafts style cottage, originally built in 1907 by acclaimed Hamilton architect Stewart McPhie. The character-filled interior has been tastefully updated and blends timeless cottage-core design with modern comfort. This 4+1-bedroom, 3-bathroom home also includes a finished in-law suite in the basement with separate entry—ideal for extended family, guests, or potential rental income. Architectural highlights include a classic front gable with oversized eaves, decorative brackets, and exposed rafter tails, an authentic clapboard siding and a wood shingle roof, a breathtaking sunroom with a full wall of 18-paned windows capturing panoramic lake views, and original windows with six-over-one panes and whimsical crescent-moon cutout shutters. Step outside to enjoy the beautifully landscaped south-facing yard with riparian rights, offering a peaceful and private waterfront retreat. Whether you’re entertaining on the lawn, watching sailboats drift by, or enjoying quiet mornings with a coffee by the water, this property offers an unparalleled lifestyle. Situated just a short walk from vibrant downtown Burlington, parks, the waterfront trail, and with easy access to major highways, this location balances tranquility and convenience. Whether you’re looking to live, build, or invest, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own a landmark home with rich heritage, architectural significance, and a front-row seat to the beauty of Lake Ontario.
