Beyond a discreet tree-lined street in the heart of prestigious Old Glenridge lies one of Niagara's most extraordinary private estates - a rare offering where timeless elegance, architectural character, and breathtaking natural surroundings exist in perfect harmony. Set on 2 acres overlooking the serene 12 Mile Creek ravine, this landmark residence presents an exceptional lifestyle defined by privacy, sophistication, and understated luxury. Moments from Ridley College, vibrant downtown, fine dining, golf, vineyards, and the Niagara Escarpment, the estate offers the rare privilege of secluded resort-style living within the city. The home, beautifully updated throughout, masterfully balances character with refined contemporary design and an uncompromising attention to detail - from new rich white oak flooring and bespoke millwork to designer lighting, elegant fireplaces, and expansive windows framing tranquil ravine vistas. Principal rooms are both grand and intimate, designed for entertaining as well as family living. Chef's kitchen at the heart of the home, seamlessly connects to elegant gathering spaces and outdoor terraces, creating a natural flow between indoor and outdoor living. The grounds are nothing short of spectacular -an enchanting private sanctuary w/mature canopy trees, manicured gardens, winding pathways, and panoramic WATER and nature views over protected natural landscape. A heated inground pool and multiple outdoor entertaining areas evoke the atmosphere of an exclusive countryside retreat. Adding to the estate's remarkable versatility is a beautifully appointed NEWLY BUILT Carriage House, with large apartment above the heated 4 car garage, ideal for guests, multigenerational living, executive office space, wellness studio, or private retreat. Rarely is a property of this calibre available in Niagara, where architectural significance, substantial land, luxury amenities, and an irreplaceable ravine setting converge so effortlessly. Make it yours!
