CFUW Orillia Homes for Scholarships

Artistic Delight

What to expect

Set on an idyllic lakeside lot, this magnificent home is a testament to the owners’ love of nature and art.  From the moment you enter the foyer, views of the lake through the floor to ceiling windows captivate your attention.  

The home was designed by the owners in a modern “Scandinavian farmhouse” style, the open concept showcasing incredibly beautiful features and elements.  Stylish tiling surrounds the gleaming oak floors. Ten-foot ceilings, soaring to 27 feet in the living room open and brighten the space, while the cedar panelled ceilings create warmth and contrast.  Unique fans and light fixtures provide comfort and the stunning floor- to -ceiling stone fireplace anchors the area. Many of the finishing touches and shelves have been crafted by the owners, some from their own ash trees.

In every room, art is of paramount importance.  Numerous sculptures created by the owner’s mother, a prominent Canadian sculptor, and paintings by her grandfather, a renowned Dutch artist, are found throughout as well as works by Canadian and American artists.

The primary suite is tucked into a private area behind the main living space.  The kitchen, with its abundant storage and dichotomy of modern and antique touches, is gorgeous, but also functional.

The second level with its glass railing overlooking the main floor and incredible views of the lake, is accessed by an impressive oak staircase. Here you will find a cozy family room, three bedrooms, and a well-equipped games room.  

You will exit through the three-season “Simcoe room” and visit the delightful bonus building on this property- the 1858 era cabin that the owners have lovingly restored. 

Accessibility: Stairs in main house and in cabin.
