That's because renowned builder DiCenzo Homes is nearing roof stage of its 18 unit estate townhome project, appro- priately named The Gardens of Edgemere. Nestled in this magnificent historic setting, this limited num- ber of exclusive TownManors have been designed by the award-win- ning architect Gren Weis. Each ul- tra-luxury residence boasts unim- peded panoramic lake views with natural light throughout the open concept kitchen, living and dining area. Private, stepped rear yards with huge terraces and seamless sliding doors blur the lines be- tween outdoor living and interior luxury. In addition to this hub of con- struction activity Nexus Develop- ment Corporation, the project de- veloper, just this week completed the finishing touches on the wa- terfront trail on behalf of the Town of Oakville. Meandering all the way from Maple Grove, along the lake, then through a forest along a stream and back up to Lakeshore Road, it's a wonder of nature with unparalleled surroundings. From this public vantage and Lakeshore Road you'll also be able to have a view of the renovation activities happening around the project's many historical ameni- ties. History is being remade on Oakville's 'gold coast,' and a new chapter being written in a story that spans over a century. Though Edgemere has gone through a number of owners' hands, the elo- quence of Ryrie's original vision for the property forms the blueprint of the Gardens of Edgemere, as the estate's heritage features are re- stored and at times repurposed. The Gatekeeper's cottage will become a guest cottage for resi- dents' use.TheCarriageHouse and original stone pathways will be re- stored. The main entrance set in the estate's stonewallswill become a private pedestrian entrance. The Rose Gardenwill bloom again, and the Aviary will become a gazebo that invites residents to linger. Perhapsmost prized will be the restored Japanese Tea House and Pergola where owners will gather to enjoy the panoramic views of the lake, forest, and grotto with waterfall and rock garden. With the final seven TownMan- ors of the Gardens of Edgemere about to be released at a Special Event on June 23rd, the opportu- nity to own on Oakville's historic Edgemere Estate is coming to a close and will soon be history. Both two and three bedroom plans are available, each with waterfront views. Register your interest at TheGardensOfEdgemere.com for a private appointment with a Sales Associate. (NC) Did you know that bathrooms were the most renovated space in 2017? This has become a popular space for upgrading thanks to the at-home spa trend, which looks at the bathroom as not just a utilitarian necessity, but as an extension of the rest of the home that can be luxuri- ous and revitalizing. Need some inspiration for refresh- ing your bathroom? Check out these top trends favoured by designers and homeowners alike. Bold lighting. Use lighting stra- tegically to set the ambiance for the space. Try warm brass globe sconces for an industrial aesthetic that feels very now; or use bold van- ity lighting for a touch of Hollywood glamour. Dramatic accents. Create a defin- ing style statement with a standout element, like a skylight. Velux's so- lar-powered venting skylight brings in natural daylight while allowing you to let steam out after a hot bath or shower. Enjoy privacy, an unobstruct- ed view and a sophisticated design touch. Modern metals. Warmer hues like brass and gold are making a come- back, and bring in some depth and complement the neutral greys that are popular on walls. Matte black is another option for the fashion-for- ward; it has a contemporary heritage vibe that looks great against whites and other neutrals. Unique tiles. Go beyond the sub- way tile and opt for quirky shapes and mixed tiles that add some flair and interest to any bathroom. Penny rounds, honeycomb, hexagon and diamond are exciting options to try. High-tech accessories. Enjoy conve- niences you never knew you needed like self-cleaning toilets that make housework a breeze; underfloor heating systems you'll really appre- ciate come winter; wireless enter- tainment systems for your favourite shows and music; and under-coun- ter appliances like a refrigerator to store beverages and organic lotions.
