Experience luxury lakeside living on sought-after Bates Drive. This exceptional 3,200 sq ft home offers a rare combination of craftsmanship, modern systems, and private resort amenities overlooking Lake Erie. Completely reimagined with full-home renovations (Dave Ould, 2009), Windmill Cabinetry kitchen (2012), and mechanical updates throughout, this property is truly turn-key and significantly superior to recent area sales. Step inside to a bright open-concept main floor featuring panoramic lake views from the great room, dining area, and custom chef’s kitchen—complete with granite counters, copper sinks, hand-laid stonework, and premium cabinetry. The main level includes 3 bedrooms, including a primary suite with walk-in closet, his-and-hers sinks, 3pc ensuite with walk-out to the outdoor shower, and a dedicated office space. A unique dual-staircase design separates the upper level into two wings. One staircase leads to a private suite with king-sized bedroom overlooking the lake, walk-in closet, office, and spa-inspired 3pc bathroom with dual sinks. The second staircase leads to a self-contained upper-level living area with 2 additional bedrooms, a family room, and a full 4pc bath—ideal for guests or multi-generational living. Outdoor living is where this property becomes extraordinary. Enjoy the extended screened-in porch with hot tub, illuminated putting and chipping green (turf), tiki bar on the beach, three storage sheds, high-efficiency patio heater, outdoor shower, and full lighting system for evening entertaining. Major updates include: dual HVAC systems (east/west), 200-amp service with updated wiring, new windows/sliders (3 years), 24 kW Generac system (2023), high-end twin-tank septic (2009), and extensive electrical upgrades servicing the outdoor living areas, BBQ station, putting green, and septic alarm/blower. A 2-car attached garage, landscaped grounds, and direct beach access complete this unmatched lakeside property. A rare opportunity to own one of Morpeth’s premier lakefront homes.
