22 Heritage Drive, Loyalist, ON

Not every home needs a dramatic introduction. Some simply get the fundamentals right. Only steps away from Lake Ontario, this Cape Cod-inspired 1.5-storey, with its 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms, offers a layout that makes everyday life feel a little easier. A main-floor bedroom and laundry add flexibility, whether you're accommodating guests, working from home, or simply appreciating fewer trips up and down the stairs. Thoughtfully updated with a pleasing palette, hardwood floors, detailed wainscoting throughout and a gas fireplace add character and warmth without relying on trends that will feel dated a few years from now. Upstairs, the primary suite includes its own ensuite, while two additional bedrooms and another full bath complete the level. Downstairs, the finished rec room with in-floor radiant heat provides valuable extra space for family hangouts, workouts, or a teenage retreat, complete with its own 2-piece bath. Outside, the backyard delivers something that's becoming increasingly hard to find-space. Room to entertain, play, garden, or do absolutely nothing at all. The deck is ready for summer dinners, morning coffee, and those evenings that start with "just one drink" and somehow end hours later. Recent updates include a new heat pump with three mini-splits and updated windows. Well-designed, well-maintained, and impeccably styled, this is a home that feels as good to live in as it looks in the photos.
