The spa-inspired ensuite features heated marble floors, a steam shower with double heated marble seating, custom wainscoting, detailed marble trim and an imported Water Monopoly bathtub. The lower level extends the home's living and entertaining spaces with 10' ceilings and zoned underfloor heating. A fifth bedroom, recreation and games rooms, gym, wine cellar and theatre/flex space offer exceptional versatility for family living and entertaining. A heated three-car garage with car-lift capacity for two additional vehicles, plus exterior snow-melt infrastructure, adds year-round convenience. 153 Balsam Drive is a rare combination of timeless architecture, refined materials, modern functionality and exceptional attention to detail, thoughtfully brought together on one of Oakville's most coveted streets.
