A rare opportunity to own a private, swimmable Lake Erie waterfront home in the highly sought-after Windmill Point community, where properties are tightly held and rarely available. In 100 years, this home has had only three owners. Originally connected to the Shea family of Shea's Buffalo Theatre, it was built as a generational retreat and has remained one ever since. Now beautifully restored and modernized while keeping its original charm and character. What sets this property apart is its shoreline. This stretch of Windmill Point sits on a natural bedrock shelf, helping keep the water clearer with fewer seasonal algae issues common elsewhere on the lake. A meaningful advantage for buyers who want usable water for swimming, not just a view. The home's orientation captures both sunrises and sunsets across the lake, a photographer's paradise and a rare combination along Lake Erie. The home offers over 3, 800 square feet with extensive spray foam insulation for year-round comfort and efficiency. The east and west wings provide a natural separation of living spaces, with up to 6 bedrooms and 3.5 baths in total, ideal for extended family, guests, or multi-generational living. The main west wing was updated over the past 6 years including a fabulous chef's kitchen built for multiple cooks, with exposed beams and a pass-through window that opens onto a screened porch stretching over 55 feet along the back of the home. Overlooking the lake and shaded by mature trees, it's the centre of summer living. A separate 1250 square foot structure with a full bath is ideal for guests, studio space, a private retreat, or conversion to a garage or workshop. Owners enjoy private access to over 1km of shoreline, a designated sandy beach area, and tennis courts, all part of the Windmill Point Owners' Association. Amenities reserved for residents. A clean-water Lake Erie retreat with space to gather, host, and hold for generations. Love where you live, at the water's edge, Windmill Point.
