Hand-crafted woodwork, beamed ceilings, stone fireplaces, hardwood floors and distinctive architectural details are found throughout. Wide covered porches overlook the water, while generous principal rooms provide an elegant setting for everyday living and entertaining. Six bedrooms and four bathrooms offer ample accommodation.A separate guesthouse with kitchen, living area, two bedrooms and full bathroom provides private quarters for family and guests. The property also includes an impressive 4,000+ sq. ft. barn offering extensive parking and storage, along with three horse stalls.With Lake Erie to the front and mature Carolinian woodland behind, Shore Oaks offers an extraordinary combination of waterfront, acreage and privacy, all within minutes of Crystal Beach and Ridgeway.
