00:00Nothing beats life on the lake, saying goodbye to the daily grind and hello to incredible waterfront views, opulent homes, gorgeous interiors and a lifestyle to match.
00:15Couple Basil and Belinda are on the hunt for their perfect waterfront home.
00:20They need ample space to entertain their family and large living areas to accommodate their many musical instruments.
00:27Very inviting.
00:28It's the kitchen of my dreams.
00:30They're looking for lakefront luxury.
00:36Musicians Basil and Belinda are leaving the city behind in search of a spacious lakefront property.
00:41With a passion for parties, they'll need to find a home with large living areas, perfect for musical evenings with family and friends.
00:48I'm Belinda.
00:49And I'm Basil.
00:50And we've been married for 39 years.
00:5238 and three quarters.
00:55And we have four children.
00:57And three grandchildren.
00:59We love music.
01:00I play piano.
01:01Basil sings.
01:02We need a lot of space in our lakefront home because we have these huge parties.
01:07Normally at our parties, we'll have a grand piano, electric guitar, bass guitar, drum set.
01:12We also need to have people there because there's no fun playing to an audience of one.
01:17On my wish list is a huge great room.
01:22Enough room for everyone to have a blast.
01:25I would also like a large kitchen with a big island.
01:29And I really want a spa-like en suite.
01:31On my wish list, I'd like an outdoor hot tub or an indoor sauna.
01:36I would also like a separate music room where we could have the instruments set up.
01:41I would like the lakefront to have gentle water access for the grandkids.
01:46Moving to the waterfront property will give us a lot of peace and tranquility that is very rare to find in the city.
01:53Oh, we just can't wait to find a lakefront home.
02:03Agent Mark Salerno will be working with Basil and Belinda to find them their dream waterfront home to host all of their parties in.
02:11My clients, Belinda and Basil, are looking for a large enough home that they can entertain and have their musical gatherings.
02:18I think we found that perfect property.
02:21Everwood Estate is a 4,334 square foot home that features 6 bedrooms, 5 bathrooms and is situated on 110 feet of water frontage.
02:32The main floor includes a rustic great room with large picture windows, vaulted ceilings and a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace.
02:39The gourmet kitchen boasts commercial grade appliances and a butler's pantry.
02:43While the primary suite offers waterfront views and a spa-like en suite.
02:47Outside, there is a private beach.
02:50Good morning, Basil and Belinda. How are you?
02:52Good.
02:53Thank you. How are you, Mark?
02:54I'm fantastic.
02:55I already love the outside. Beautiful.
02:58I think you're gonna love the inside just as much.
03:01Welcome to the great room.
03:03Oh, I love this room with the windows and the view of the water.
03:08Soaring ceilings with the wood beams, open gas fireplace.
03:13I like the stone fireplace. It goes all the way to the ceiling. I guess there's no room here for a grand piano and a drum kit.
03:20I can see how this great room is a little bit inadequate. Saying that, I do have a room that I think would be more than adequate. Follow me into the kitchen.
03:29I do like this kitchen. It's a little dark though.
03:34Distressed wood cabinetry, industrial grade appliances, a walk-in pantry, oversized island, leather granite, countertop. And best of all, take a look at this.
03:45I do love the fact that you have stunning views when you're cooking. I'm not a fan of the dark colours, but I'm sure that can easily be remedied.
03:54More work for me.
03:56If you notice, there are speakers throughout the entire property, so you can enjoy the space while listening to your favourite music.
04:03That's a real positive for me.
04:05The next stop on our tour is the primary bedroom. After you.
04:09Oh, nice room.
04:11Look at this.
04:13This is your primary bedroom retreat. You have a linear gas fireplace with a walkout to a hot tub.
04:21It's just so peaceful.
04:23And the hot tub, we can go for a midnight dip.
04:26Well, if you love the primary bedroom, you're absolutely going to love this spa like en suite. Follow me.
04:32Welcome to your beautiful en suite.
04:34I absolutely love this bathroom.
04:38Mosaic flooring, which pairs up with the mosaic inlay in your frameless glass shower.
04:44Freestanding tub.
04:45Double custom vanities.
04:47I love having the window by the tub. And with all that greenery out there, I don't even think I need to have the blinds down.
04:54There's no peeking.
04:55It's time to see the waterfront.
04:59Belinda, Basil, how incredible are these open views? You have 110 feet of water frontage.
05:06I absolutely love the view from here. What I'm not really liking are these tones.
05:12It's not very inviting for the grandkids.
05:14You can build a pathway down to the water. And now that we've toured the entire property, why don't we head back inside and have a recap.
05:21Basil and Belinda, we've just viewed this incredible lakefront home featuring six bedrooms, five bathrooms, over 4,300 square feet, 110 feet of water frontage.
05:36The price of this property is $5.9 million.
05:42Well, that seems a fair price. The minute we walked into that great room, I saw the high ceilings, the wood beams, and I fell in love.
05:51But when we want to have big parties, I don't think this will work for us.
05:55I do like the kitchen. I love the big island.
05:58I find the entire kitchen too dark.
06:00When we walked into that primary bedroom, my eyes were drawn to the waterfront.
06:05The lake views were beautiful, but I didn't like the rocks on the shore.
06:10Mark, you've shown us a beautiful property, but we'd like to see something with a bigger great room.
06:15I have some other amazing properties that hopefully will check off all your boxes.
06:20I really like this house. It's a great start.
06:24I can't wait to see what Mark will show us next.
06:27Basil and Belinda are looking for an entertainer's lakeside retreat with grand open spaces.
06:38The first property had a rustic feel.
06:41Infinite views is 4,400 square feet with four bedrooms and six bathrooms.
06:46The great room boasts 22-foot ceilings, a floor-to-ceiling triple-sided fireplace, and a wall of windows,
06:52while the open concept kitchen offers easy access to the outdoor patio.
06:56This property offers two primary suites, each with en-suites.
07:00Additionally, this home boasts a spacious family room.
07:03Outside, there's a saltwater pool, a boathouse, and 100 feet of stunning water frontage.
07:10Basil and Belinda are looking for a home that offers a big open space for all the parties that they love to throw.
07:17I think I found it here.
07:19Belinda, Basil, how are you today?
07:21Good, thank you, Mark.
07:22Are you guys ready to go inside and take a look?
07:24We certainly are.
07:25Let's go.
07:28Oh, wow.
07:30Unlike the first property, this home has a large great room and all these big, beautiful windows with views of the lake,
07:3722-foot ceilings, a three-sided gas fireplace, full stone all the way up.
07:43The natural light coming in through these windows is phenomenal.
07:47Very inviting.
07:48And I am excited.
07:49We can fit in the instruments.
07:51And if we do run out of room, we can always go onto the deck.
07:54Why don't you follow me and we'll check out the kitchen.
07:56Basil, Belinda, welcome to your kitchen.
07:59This is a stunning kitchen.
08:00Overlooking the lake directly from your sink, you have durable, white, clean countertops, a big, beautiful wine fridge, an additional sink on the lower level, stainless steel appliances, four-burner induction cooktop.
08:16I'm not so sure if I'm hot on the induction.
08:19I really like gas.
08:21And the four-burners, when both of us are cooking together, might be a bit of a problem.
08:26If you did want a six-burner or an eight-burner, you have the room to do so here.
08:29That's right.
08:30It's not dark like the previous property.
08:33It's bright, looks clean, neat.
08:35It's pretty functional.
08:36You can just be cooking over here, have the grandkids sitting down here.
08:41Now that we've seen the kitchen, the next room on the tour is the primary bedroom.
08:47Oh, this is lovely.
08:49This home has two primary bedrooms.
08:51One here on the second level and additionally one on the main floor.
08:55But this primary bedroom has this incredible view of the lake.
08:59It's pretty bright and...
09:01I love that.
09:02When you wake up in the morning, your first view is of that lake.
09:06I have another amazing room to show you.
09:09Whoa.
09:10This room is unbelievable.
09:12This second floor family room is the perfect room for your music area and maybe a little dancing.
09:19The floors are finished.
09:21They are smooth.
09:22So, hey, it should work.
09:24There are some more spaces on the lower level that I would love to show you.
09:28Oh, Bach, wow, you gave me my sauna.
09:31Looks good.
09:32It's a wellness room.
09:34So, Basil, you can use your sauna while Belinda maybe is getting a massage.
09:39That sounds wonderful.
09:40I'm glad that you guys have loved the inside of the house.
09:43Why don't we make our way outside and take a look at the grounds?
09:46Oh, this is a real bonus.
09:49Your pool area, it's fully fenced in.
09:52It's great that the grandkids can learn to swim in the pool over here before they are ready for the big lake out there.
09:58Absolutely.
09:59Why don't we go and check out the lakefront now?
10:01Basil and Belinda, we are standing on top of the boathouse.
10:05You have your own hot tub and sandy access into the water.
10:10Something for everyone.
10:11The only issue, Mark, there's lots of houses around and we do have big loud parties.
10:17I totally understand.
10:18Why don't we make our way inside and recap of the home.
10:23Basil, Belinda, we've just viewed this incredible property.
10:274,400 square feet, four bedrooms, six bathrooms, 100 feet of water frontage.
10:35The price of this home is $5.1 million.
10:41Given the size of this home and the lakefront, I think it's a reasonable price.
10:46As soon as we walked in, all I could see were those windows.
10:49We'll have no problem getting all our family in here and our instruments.
10:54The kitchen, I like that it was white and bright.
10:57I just wish the kitchen had a gas cooktop.
11:00The primary bedroom was a good size and it had a fantastic view.
11:04We could make this family room into the music room.
11:06It's an amazing place.
11:08That wellness room, I will be using that sauna all the time.
11:12Outside, it was a wonderful surprise to see that pool.
11:15Mark, you've shown us a fabulous home.
11:17But I would like to see something with a little more privacy.
11:21I really love this house with Basil.
11:23It's so close to the neighbors.
11:25I'm going to find them the home that offers the privacy they're looking for.
11:34Basil and Belinda are on the hunt for their dream lakefront home with ample space for their lavish parties.
11:42The first property had a manicured garden and rustic charm.
11:45The second property had two primary suites.
11:48The stone house is a newly built 5,800 square foot custom home.
11:53It has six bedrooms and seven bathrooms.
11:56The ultra-modern great room has floor-to-ceiling custom windows and a stone accent wall with a gas fireplace.
12:02The kitchen has an oversized island and a six-burner gas range.
12:06The primary bedroom features waterfront views, a walk-in closet and luxurious ensuite.
12:11Outside, there's an infinity pool and a private beach with 100 feet of water frontage.
12:16Good to see you again, Mark.
12:20This home has the perfect size for the entertaining you'd like to do with your big, beautiful family.
12:25Let's go inside and take a look.
12:27Wow.
12:29I like the windows over there. They are huge.
12:32As you walk into this great room, you're immediately greeted by these beautiful windows and you have a wet bar.
12:39I'm guessing this is a gas fireplace.
12:41It's a linear gas fireplace that will provide you with instant heat.
12:46And lots of ambiance when the family gathers around.
12:49So the only drawback is as you come in, the staircase obstructs the beautiful view.
12:55The staircase is a valid concern, but I have another great room I'd love to show you.
13:00Let's make our way into the kitchen.
13:02Welcome to the kitchen.
13:03Oh my gosh.
13:05You have an oversized center island with quartz countertops.
13:09You have a paneled fridge and freezer combo.
13:12Top of the line appliances featuring a six burner gas cooktop.
13:17Whenever I'm cooking, I need a huge prep area.
13:20This is the kitchen of my dreams.
13:23I like that.
13:24You can still see what the rest of the family is doing in the great room.
13:27Additionally, this kitchen has a walk-in pantry.
13:30I can hide my appliances in there that I was not allowed to get otherwise.
13:34I know that you love this kitchen, but I have another amazing room to show you.
13:40Let's make our way to the primary bedroom.
13:42Wow.
13:43Oh my goodness.
13:45Welcome to your primary bedroom.
13:47This room has floor-to-ceiling windows that open up directly to your hot tub.
13:53You also have a linear gas fireplace.
13:56You get a beautiful view.
13:57Absolutely serene.
13:59Mark, I like the fact that we can get in the hot tub, relax, and you're ready for bed.
14:04I noticed there's no closet in this room.
14:06Actually, we were mesmerized by that view and we walked right past the full walk-in closet.
14:11And just on the other side of that walk-in closet is a luxurious en suite.
14:16Oh my gosh.
14:17Look at this.
14:19This en suite has it all.
14:21Take a look at that shower.
14:22It brings the elements from outside in with the stone feature.
14:26You also have your custom vanity with two sinks.
14:30I love the fact that the shower and the tub are together.
14:33It's just a fabulous combination.
14:36I may never come out.
14:37Sounds good.
14:40Now it's time to go outside.
14:44Wow.
14:45Beautiful.
14:46And not only do you have this spectacular outdoor kitchen, you also have an infinity pool,
14:51hot tub area, and just beyond that fence, you have your own private beach.
14:57This is exactly what we were looking for.
14:59Put a towel down with a martini and I'd be good to go for the afternoon.
15:05The only thing is, the other two properties you showed us had a more natural view.
15:10The skyline is a compromise.
15:12Now that we've viewed the entire property, why don't we go inside and recap the home.
15:19Basil, Belinda, we've just viewed this brand new custom-built home.
15:245,800 square feet, six bedrooms, seven bathrooms, and 100 feet of water frontage.
15:31And the price of this property is $6.5 million.
15:37I feel it's a little bit high compared to the other properties.
15:40I think that's good value for money.
15:43It's move-in ready.
15:44The moment we walked in and I saw that wall of windows, I was just amazed.
15:49I think the space is big enough for us to entertain.
15:52Absolutely.
15:53Only drawback for me is that staircase.
15:55It does cut off the view.
15:57Walking into that kitchen, I just love the size of that island.
16:01Walking into the primary bedroom, great big windows.
16:04And I do like the fact that I can step out and use that hot tub.
16:08And I can't believe this property has its own private beach.
16:12You know, the only drawback for me is the view.
16:15The cityscape is not something I expected to see.
16:18Mark, you've shown us three incredible properties.
16:22This is going to be a really tough decision.
16:25I think I know the one I like.
16:27And I think you probably like the same one.
16:30That remains to be seen.
16:37Real estate agent Mark Salerno has shown Basil and Belinda three unique lakefront homes,
16:42each property providing generous living spaces for their musical pursuits
16:46and their growing extended family.
16:48It's just so peaceful.
16:50We could definitely use this as a music room.
16:52This is exactly what we were looking for.
16:55But which beautiful lake home will they choose?
16:58Basil, Belinda, we've seen three incredible properties.
17:02I'd love to know what you think about property number one, Everwood Estate.
17:07This 4,334-square-foot home features six bedrooms and five bathrooms,
17:14situated on 110 feet of water frontage.
17:17The main floor includes a rustic great room with vaulted ceilings
17:21and a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace.
17:24The gourmet kitchen boasts commercial-grade appliances and a butler's pantry,
17:28while the primary suite offers panoramic waterfront views and a spa-like en suite.
17:33Outside, there's a private beach.
17:36Everwood Estate is on the market for $5.9 million.
17:41Mark, as soon as we walked into the great room,
17:44I loved all the beams and the high ceilings, but it's just a little too small.
17:49Walking into the kitchen, I liked how big the island was,
17:53but the cabinets and the countertops make this kitchen too dark.
17:57The primary bedroom, it's a good size, and I absolutely love that en suite.
18:02That tub is fantastic.
18:04The lake views were beautiful, but I didn't like the rocks on the shore.
18:08And what are your thoughts on the second property we saw, Infinite Views?
18:13This home is 4,400 square feet with four bedrooms, six bathrooms.
18:18The great room boasts 22-foot ceilings, a floor-to-ceiling triple-sided fireplace, and a wall of windows,
18:24while the open-concept kitchen offers easy access to the outdoor patio.
18:28In addition, this home features two primary suites, each with luxurious en-suites, as well as a spacious family room.
18:36The exterior boasts a saltwater pool, a boathouse, and 100 feet of stunning water frontage.
18:43Infinite Views is listed at $5.1 million.
18:47That open-concept great room is ideal for all our parties.
18:52That kitchen, I loved how bright it was.
18:55I just wish that there was a gas cooktop instead of the induction.
18:59I love that that house has two primary bedrooms.
19:02That family room is my favorite room in the house.
19:05It would make a fantastic music room.
19:08Our grandkids would absolutely love that pool, but it's really close to the neighbors.
19:13And lastly, I would love to know what you thought about property number three, the stone house.
19:19This newly built modern home is 5,800 square feet.
19:23It has six bedrooms and seven bathrooms.
19:26The main floor features a spacious great room with floor-to-ceiling custom windows and a stone accent wall with a gas fireplace.
19:33The open-concept kitchen and dining area include a butler's pantry and a large island.
19:39The primary suite offers stunning waterfront views and a luxurious ensuite.
19:44Outside, there's an infinity pool and a sandy beach with 100 feet of private water frontage.
19:49The stone house is priced at $6.5 million.
19:53That great room definitely has enough space to set up our instruments and have great big parties.
20:00But that staircase blocks the views of the lake when you walk in.
20:03The kitchen.
20:04I like the oversized island and the bright countertops.
20:08The primary bedroom has incredible views from those massive windows.
20:13That ensuite is like going on a tropical vacation.
20:17That private beach would be the perfect spot for the grandkids.
20:20I like the private beach too, but I didn't like the view of all the buildings across the lake.
20:26If you were to eliminate just one property, which one would it be?
20:30That would have to be Everwood Estate.
20:32It's just not big enough for us to hold our parties.
20:35So, have you made a decision?
20:37Yes, we have.
20:38Well, which one is it?
20:40We chose infinite views.
20:44It's just such a perfect home for us.
20:47We just love it.
20:48And it's large enough for us to have our big musical parties.
20:55So happy we got this beautiful family-friendly home.
20:59And when we have our parties, we're just going to have to invite the neighbors.
21:02And I hope they like to sing and dance as much as we do.
