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.
00:15Tej and Vivian are looking for their dream home by the lake. With a large family, they need a spacious property with plenty of room for guests.
00:23This is spectacular.
00:25Wow, I just feel like I've got the entire lake to myself.
00:30They're looking for lakefront luxury.
00:35Tej and Vivian are searching for a spacious property perfect for hosting family gatherings.
00:40With young grandchildren in mind, they also need a home with safe access to the water.
00:44I'm Vivian.
00:45And I'm Tej.
00:46And we've been married for 55 years.
00:49And it feels like 105.
00:51Excuse me?
00:52It feels like five.
00:53We met when I was 18.
00:57I was smitten.
00:59And he was sort of, she's still in high school.
01:01I just graduated.
01:02I figured it's time for me to see the world.
01:05While I was away, I was missing Viv every day.
01:08Can you believe he proposed to me through a letter?
01:10My advice to anybody who wants to get married is to propose by letter.
01:14We have three adult children and five grandchildren.
01:19We're looking for a lakefront property so that we can bring everybody together.
01:23On my wish list, I really want to have an area where I can put all of the watercraft.
01:28I want easy access to the lake.
01:31As we get older, it becomes more difficult to move around.
01:34I would love to have a games room where everybody can have fun.
01:37We want to have a big place with four to five bedrooms.
01:41I'm looking forward to having a big kitchen.
01:43I also would like to have a wood-burning fireplace.
01:46I would much prefer to have a gas fireplace.
01:49Agree to disagree.
01:50The way to stay married for 55 years, it has to be based on compromise.
01:55For me, I say yes, a lot.
02:01Agent Adam Coven will be working with Tej and Vivian to help find their forever home.
02:05Tej and Vivian, they have always wanted a lakefront home.
02:09I think this home, it's going to be the exact thing they're looking for.
02:12The first home is the Contemporary Retreat.
02:15This modern 5,000 square foot home features three bedrooms and three bathrooms.
02:20The main floor showcases an open concept kitchen and striking cathedral ceilings.
02:25The primary bedroom boasts a private walkout and a generous en suite.
02:29The lower level has a wet bar and a games area.
02:32Outside, there's 60 feet of water frontage.
02:34Hi, Tej. Hi, Vivian. Good morning.
02:37Good to see you.
02:38I know you're looking for an open space where the entire family can gather together.
02:42Are you ready to start this journey?
02:43Absolutely.
02:45Let's go inside.
02:47Whoa, this is incredible.
02:50Honey, I'm home.
02:51I would definitely say this is the great room.
02:53First of all, that view is what we're looking for.
02:56Then a gas fireplace, a vaulted ceiling.
02:59I love the fact that you can overflow into the outside with those sliding glass doors.
03:04When you go through the covered deck, you have a natural wood-burning fireplace.
03:08I love that there is a wood-burning fireplace.
03:11And a gas-burning fireplace that I would love.
03:14So really the best of both worlds.
03:16But I have another room I think you'll like as much or more.
03:19Follow me into the kitchen.
03:20Oh, this is incredible.
03:24This is awesome.
03:25This is an incredible kitchen.
03:27This is a six-burner, double stove.
03:30The island, a huge slab of quartz.
03:33We have a dining table ready for 10.
03:36This island, there's lots of room there for everybody to enjoy my cooking.
03:42Another feature I love is these sinks facing out onto the water.
03:46I'm so thrilled that you love this kitchen.
03:48Why don't we have a look at the primary bedroom?
03:51Oh, my gosh.
03:52I love how bright this room is.
03:55Stunning.
03:55Love it.
03:56It's a main floor, primary bedroom.
03:59You have a nice tall ceiling.
04:00There's transom windows above the bed.
04:02Also a semi-private deck.
04:04I love the brightness of this room.
04:06The walkout, fabulous.
04:08I would have preferred if the bed was facing the lake.
04:13If those lake views are so important to you, you're more than welcome to sleep on the couch.
04:17I've done that before.
04:21Let me show you the ensuite bath.
04:24Oh, wow.
04:26Wow.
04:27Oh, another bright space.
04:29We have two great vanities, marble top.
04:32You have a big, huge shower with a bench.
04:35And this shower is curbless.
04:37Easy to get in and out.
04:38This house works for all stages of life.
04:41I really love this place.
04:42But there's no soaker tub.
04:43No soaker tub, but why don't we go and have a look at the lower level.
04:48Wow.
04:49Look at that view.
04:50Breathtaking.
04:51You do have a great games area.
04:54You've got a television seating area.
04:56But the bar really is the center point of this room.
04:59I always wanted to have a games area for the entire family.
05:03Additionally, the lower level has two more bedrooms.
05:06So, altogether three bedrooms?
05:08This is a three-bedroom home.
05:09That may be something that we have to think more about.
05:12Well, why don't we take a look outside?
05:15Oh, wow.
05:17Lovely.
05:17This is beautiful.
05:18It's really nice.
05:19They started off with this structured, concrete, solid dock.
05:22We have 60 feet of waterfront here.
05:25I can see just having fun in there with the grandkids.
05:27I do want to have a both house.
05:29Also, the neighbors are pretty close.
05:32You know, it's going to be a privacy issue for us.
05:33You're going to have kids running around.
05:35And we certainly don't want them upsetting the neighbors.
05:37So, we do want a much wider expanse of a waterfront.
05:41All great points.
05:42We've seen the property.
05:43Why don't we head back inside and recap today?
05:45Vivian, Tage, today we've seen a beautiful lakefront property.
05:515,000 square feet, three bedrooms, three bathrooms on 60 feet of waterfrontage.
05:58Now, the price of this property is $4 million.
06:01I think it's too much for the square footage.
06:05For that price, I would expect more bedrooms.
06:08But I absolutely love the brightness of this home and the spectacular view.
06:13I love the island in the kitchen.
06:17I really love that ensuite.
06:19But I don't think it was worth sacrificing the soaker tub.
06:22I totally love the games room.
06:24But you know, Adam, we really need a space with more bedrooms.
06:28I would love to have more privacy.
06:31I absolutely love this property.
06:32But I really do feel that we need more than three bedrooms to accommodate our large family.
06:37And we do need a more expansive waterfront.
06:39Tage and Vivian are searching for a lakefront home to enjoy with their extended family and young grandchildren.
06:47The first home featured an impressive open-plan living space and three bedrooms.
06:52The Tranquil Escape is a larger 6,500 square foot home with four bedrooms and three and a half bathrooms.
06:59The main floor features an impressive limestone fireplace and a wall of windows.
07:03The gourmet kitchen features a generous island and views overlooking the lake.
07:07The primary suite contains a walk-out balcony.
07:10Additionally, this house offers a lower-level entertaining space.
07:14Outside, there's a dock on 130 feet of uninterrupted waterfrontage.
07:19Tage and Vivian, they're looking for that waterfront that can accommodate everybody to come and gather.
07:24And today's home, I think it's going to have everything they're looking for.
07:27Good morning, Vivian.
07:28Good morning, Tage.
07:29Hi.
07:30Good morning.
07:31So here we have a more expansive waterfront.
07:33And for the grandchildren, more bedrooms.
07:35Let's go inside.
07:36Wow, wow, wow.
07:39This is amazing.
07:41Stunning.
07:42So in this great room, we start off with a 20-foot vaulted ceiling, this stacked cut limestone to a natural gas fireplace.
07:49And then we have the mezzanine.
07:50That may be the money shot.
07:52I just love that view.
07:54It's a million dollar view.
07:55Yeah.
07:55However, it's going to be cramped when we have the entire family here.
08:00Being an open concept floor plan, it gives you every opportunity to configure to your needs.
08:06We've got the kitchen right next to the great room.
08:10Wow, look at that island.
08:12It's huge.
08:13Beautiful.
08:14Just love it.
08:14The island itself, great amenities.
08:17Wine fridge.
08:18Great storage.
08:19Additionally, what a spectacular view.
08:21You're going to fight over doing the dishes.
08:22Oh, I don't know about that.
08:25It's easy to move around.
08:26There's enough space for both of us.
08:28But where do we actually sit down to eat?
08:31They do have a harvest table set up in the great room.
08:34Sounds okay, but not ideal.
08:35Well, there's another room I'd like you to take a look at, and that's the primary bedroom.
08:42Oh, my gosh.
08:44That's unique.
08:45We have a beautiful outdoor space right off of the bedroom.
08:48That looks very romantic.
08:50We have these beautiful hardwood floors.
08:52We have an ample walk-in closet.
08:55I also like the, does it feel too cramped?
08:57It fits a king-size bed with side tables, too.
09:00Those trees hanging over the water.
09:02Oh, it's just so beautiful.
09:03Let me show you your en suite.
09:08Wow, look at that shower.
09:10Wow.
09:11This en suite really has it all.
09:12You have a walk-in shower, huge soaker tub, and then let's take a look at this vanity.
09:17You've got a quartz countertop.
09:19These mirrors also light up.
09:21I like the idea of my own personal sink.
09:23And that soaker tub, I love it.
09:26I have another space I know you're going to love, especially when all the grandkids are visiting.
09:30Welcome to your lower level.
09:32This is spectacular.
09:34Wow.
09:35We have 10-foot ceilings.
09:37You do have a gymnasium over here, but that could easily be converted into more usable space.
09:42I love the fact that all the grandkids could come down and hang out.
09:45On the other hand, this could be a space where we could retreat.
09:49Oh, that sounds cool.
09:50Let's go take a look at the waterfront.
09:53This is the waterfront that you've been waiting for.
09:55We have a U-shaped concrete poured dock.
09:58The dock is terrific.
10:00However, I really do want a boathouse.
10:03This lake will allow a boathouse.
10:05I love that wall that's framed by all those hydrangeas.
10:08My main concern, the steps that you have to use to get down here.
10:12Could be an accident waiting to happen.
10:15A beautiful view with that elevation comes with a bunch of steps.
10:18Why don't we recap what we have seen today?
10:22Tej and Vivian, we've seen a beautiful lakefront property.
10:256,500 square feet of living space, four bedrooms, three and a half baths, sitting on 130 feet of water frontage.
10:33The price of this property is $3.5 million.
10:37It is reasonably priced.
10:39Adam, as soon as I walked into that great room, I just fell in love with the house.
10:43But it isn't big enough to accommodate our entire family.
10:47When I walked into the kitchen and I saw that big island, I was really impressed.
10:52But there's no dedicated dining space.
10:54The primary bedroom is a great size.
10:57And I really love the ensuite bath.
10:59I was really impressed with the waterfront.
11:01However, those steps are quite steep.
11:04Adam, what I really need is more space on the main floor.
11:07And I would like to have either a boathouse or a cupboard slip.
11:11I know Tej and Vivian need more space on the main level.
11:14And I'd love to find Tej, that great covered boat slip.
11:18I'll find it.
11:21Tej and Vivian are on the hunt for their forever home on the lake.
11:25The first home had a generous great room with cathedral ceilings.
11:29The second home featured a spa-like en suite and a lower-level entertaining area.
11:33The elegant oasis is a stunning red-brick lakefront home offering five bedrooms and five bathrooms
11:39and 7,100 square feet of living space.
11:43The great room features a granite fireplace.
11:47The gourmet kitchen features a spacious island and a wet bar.
11:50The primary suite boasts a private balcony and a spa-inspired en suite.
11:55Outside, there's an outdoor kitchen and 360 feet of water frontage.
11:59Hi, Tej. Hi, Vivian.
12:02Good morning.
12:02Morning.
12:03The last home didn't quite fit the bill.
12:05Not the space for the family.
12:07This one has it all.
12:08Let's go inside.
12:11Oh, my gosh.
12:12Look at that fireplace.
12:14Whoa.
12:14It's a wonderful great room.
12:16First of all, our floor-to-ceiling windows.
12:19That view is what we're looking for.
12:20We've got a double-sided fireplace with granite all the way to the ceiling.
12:24I love this great room.
12:27It's got so much openness, which is what I've always wanted.
12:30This is large enough to accommodate the entire family.
12:33I'm really happy that you love this great room.
12:35Why don't we go take a look at the kitchen next?
12:39Oh, my goodness.
12:41Look at this kitchen.
12:43I love that island.
12:44So, a beautiful quartz countertop on the island.
12:47Not only do we have the one double sink here, we've got another double sink looking out to the waterfront.
12:52And we have a Servier wet bar.
12:55I love the accents.
12:56The gold and the French navy, the dove white.
12:59So elegant.
13:01But there's not a lot of storage space.
13:03Actually, just to the side of you is a sliding door into your pantry.
13:07You fulfilled my dream of having the entire family around me when I'm doing my cooking.
13:13Speaking of that, not one, but two dining spaces.
13:16I just can't find anything wrong with this kitchen.
13:18Perfect.
13:19Why don't we look at the primary bedroom, see if the street continues.
13:22Welcome to your primary suite.
13:24Whoa.
13:25Oh, love it.
13:27It really is a nice wide room.
13:29You have a gorgeous accent wall on the back.
13:31You've got a beautiful view and a balcony that you can go out to with that tempered glass.
13:35I love this room.
13:37I love the colors.
13:38Not too big, not too small.
13:40Just right.
13:41But I don't think the balcony is even big enough for me to go and sit down and enjoy a cup of coffee in the mornings.
13:46No, you may have to settle for a bistro set, maybe small espressos.
13:52Why don't we have a look at the en suite?
13:55Oh, wow.
13:57Impressive.
13:58It's really a beautiful en suite.
14:00This is a gorgeous oversized glass-in shower.
14:04Rain shower head, hand shower.
14:06We've got that double vanity with the undercounter sinks.
14:09We have a lovely makeup table, and you wanted a soaker tub, and we've got it.
14:14I love this en suite, and that makeup station is a big bonus for me.
14:19I absolutely love the big shower.
14:22But I would really love a lake view from the soaker tub.
14:26I think that there's another area that you're going to love as well.
14:28Why don't we go down to the lower level?
14:31Wow.
14:32A pool table.
14:33My dream.
14:34You've been looking for a games room.
14:35I think this is it.
14:36I'll be hustling here quite a bit.
14:39Behind us, we have a beautiful sitting area with another wood-burning fireplace,
14:43with more doors out to the patio.
14:46The openness to the outdoors.
14:47I love this.
14:49There's lots to do for the entire family.
14:51Is there a bar, though?
14:53Unfortunately, on this level, there is not a bar.
14:55Well, we've got to go look at the waterfront.
14:59This really is a beautiful entertainment spot with your outdoor kitchen.
15:03You actually have beautiful handrails all the way down.
15:05But look at the use of tiered gardens, all of the landscaping.
15:09This really isn't a backyard.
15:11It's a form of art.
15:12Just gorgeous.
15:13I love the fact that I can get down those stairs easily.
15:17And this amazing view.
15:19I just feel like I've got the entire lake to myself.
15:22It's beautiful.
15:23I know you're looking for that covered dock.
15:25Come follow me.
15:27Oh, wow.
15:28Beautiful.
15:29Here's that beautiful covered dock that you've been hoping for.
15:32I wouldn't say that it's a dock.
15:33It's a marina.
15:34Wow, have you got enough storage space here for your watercraft?
15:36Oh, yes.
15:36And I notice it's deep enough.
15:38You have 360 feet of shoreline here.
15:41Additionally, these two little buildings behind me, if you needed any more sleeping space,
15:45they could be turned into bedrooms.
15:47Oh, what a great idea.
15:48Yes.
15:48Why don't we head back up and recap what we've seen today.
15:53Tej and Vivian, we've seen a wonderful lakefront property.
15:57It has 7,100 square feet of living space, five bedrooms, five bathrooms, on 360 feet of water frontage.
16:04And the price of this home is $4.5 million.
16:09It's pretty good value, but it really is the most expensive of the three, and we're going to have to give some thought to that.
16:15On the other hand, I love this great room, and there's certainly enough room for the entire family to gather.
16:21But I much prefer having a gas fireplace than the wood burning.
16:24When we walked into that kitchen, I saw the kitchen of my dreams.
16:29Entering that primary bedroom, I find the balcony a bit on the small side.
16:33Adam, I really love that en suite.
16:35The soaker tub is beautiful.
16:38That lower level would be an awesome room for the whole family to gather.
16:41Walking down to the lake, the granite steps, the landscaping, it was just beautiful.
16:47Adam, that covered boat slip, it will fit any boat that they can bring in there.
16:51You've shown us three incredible properties at three different price points.
16:56It's all about what suits the family best.
16:59I agree. We have to go back and do some thinking.
17:04Real estate agent Adam Coven has shown Taige and Vivian three stunning lakefront homes,
17:09each offering unique features designed to accommodate family gatherings and entertainment.
17:14This is amazing.
17:16You fulfilled my dream of having a big kitchen.
17:19But which beautiful lake home will they choose?
17:22Taige and Vivian, I'd love to know what you think about property number one, contemporary retreat.
17:28This contemporary 5,000 square foot home offers three bedrooms and three bathrooms.
17:33The main floor features an open concept kitchen with a large island,
17:37as well as a living area with cathedral ceilings.
17:39The primary bedroom includes a private walkout and a spacious en suite.
17:43The lower level has a wet bar and a games area.
17:46Outside, there's expansive green space set on 60 feet of water frontage.
17:51The contemporary retreat is on the market for $4 million.
17:55When we walked into that great room, I was really taken by the fantastic gas fireplace.
18:01And also, I love that island in that kitchen.
18:05I really love that en suite, but I don't think it was worth sacrificing as a soaker tub.
18:10When you took us down to the lower level, I was absolutely amazed by the wet bar.
18:15But with only three bedrooms in that home, I don't think it's going to be enough to accommodate our larger family.
18:20That lakefront was amazing.
18:22But there was no covered slip for my watercraft.
18:25And the neighbours are very close.
18:27And what are your thoughts on property number two, Tranquil Escape?
18:31This 6,500 square foot home offers four bedrooms and three and a half bathrooms.
18:37The main floor boasts a limestone fireplace.
18:40The gourmet kitchen features a large island in panoramic water views.
18:44The primary suite includes a private balcony and a luxurious en suite.
18:48The lower level offers a dedicated entertaining space.
18:52Outside, there's a dock on 130 feet of water frontage.
18:55The Tranquil Escape is priced at $3.5 million.
18:59Adam, when we walked into that great room, all I could see were spectacular views, exactly what we were looking for.
19:06But overall, that room is too small for a family to gather.
19:10I absolutely love the massive island in this kitchen.
19:14That en suite is a great size.
19:17It has a beautiful soaker tub and double vanity.
19:20Adam, that waterfront is quite expansive, but there's no covered boat slip.
19:24And those steps going down are steep and treacherous.
19:27And lastly, I'd love to know your thoughts on property number three, Elegant Oasis.
19:32This red brick lakefront home offers five bedrooms and five bathrooms.
19:38The great room features a striking granite fireplace.
19:41The gourmet kitchen includes a spacious island and wet bar, while the primary suite boasts a private balcony and a spa-like en suite.
19:49The expansive lower level is perfect for entertaining.
19:52There's an outdoor kitchen and 360 feet of private water frontage.
19:56The Elegant Oasis is listed for $4.5 million.
20:01Walking into that great room, I love the lake views.
20:04And that kitchen is exquisite.
20:07We don't just have one dining space in that area, we have two.
20:11The primary bedroom is a good size.
20:13But I just found that balcony a little bit too small.
20:16But that en suite totally made up for it.
20:18That make-up station, love it.
20:21I was asking for a covered slip, and that property had it.
20:25So, Tej and Vivian, what property are you eliminating?
20:28It would have to be Tranquil Escape.
20:33I think those stairs to the waterfront are too treacherous for us as we get older.
20:38So, have you made a decision?
20:40We chose Elegant Oasis.
20:44It has everything we need and all the space for our family.
20:50And it also has a covered boat slip.
20:53I can't wait to bring the family together in that home.
20:56And I can't wait to make a first meal in that kitchen.
20:59It's going to be fantastic.
21:01This is the perfect home for their wonderful family.
21:03I only hope I'm invited to have a front row seat to see Tej work his magic in that kitchen.
21:14Tej.
21:15Tej.
21:16Tej.
21:17Tej.
