12041 Augustine Road, Wainfleet, ON

Life slows down on Augustine Road. This 4-bedroom brick bungalow sits directly on Lake Erie with 20 feet of private waterfront, tucked between Long Beach and Belleview Beach - two of the finest sandy stretches on the lake, both minutes from your door. Inside, 1,111 square feet is oriented around the water. A large bay window frames the lake from the main living area, and the refreshed kitchen and dinette flow into a sunroom built for the way people actually use a lake house: everyone in one room, doors open, nobody in a rush. The primary bedroom fills with natural light, and three additional bedrooms leave room for family, grandkids and weekend guests. Out back, the yard opens to the shoreline, where a recently rebuilt break wall means the big-ticket work is already behind you. Summer runs from the first barbecue to the last bonfire, with sunsets thrown in nightly. At street level, a detached two-car garage swallows the cars, the toys and every piece of water gear you own. Then there's the part that makes it rare: municipal water and natural gas - services most Lake Erie properties do without - with Port Colborne roughly 14 minutes away for groceries, schools and everyday amenities, and the QEW and Niagara wine country an easy drive beyond. Full-time home, four-season cottage or income property - waterfront with year-round services doesn't come up often on this shoreline.
