St. Joseph Island, Ontario

Listing Remarks

There are waterfront properties, and then there are waterfront addresses - the kind that rarely come available and are never forgotten. 1173 Richards Street is unquestionably the latter. Positioned in the heart of Richards Landing on a rare double lot with 139 feet of sandy, sheltered frontage on Lake Huron's St. Joseph Channel, this meticulously maintained 2-storey home delivers the full spectrum of waterfront living: glassy sunsets viewed from a spectacular glass-wrapped sunroom, a sheltered location to dock your boat, and safe, sandy-bottom swimming just steps from your back deck. West-facing across open water dotted with islands, the evening light here is something people drive hours to experience - and you'll have it every night of the year! The home itself speaks to decades of thoughtful care. The gorgeously updated kitchen features crisp white cabinetry, subway tile, beautiful countertops, and hardwood floors that flow through the open-concept dining area and into the sun-drenched living room - a space that effortlessly bridges everyday comfort and gracious entertaining. The show-stopping sunroom anchors the rear of the home, wrapped in windows on three sides and opening directly to the upper Trex deck, where sunsets over the Channel become your nightly backdrop. A lower deck and lounge area complete the outdoor living experience, drawing you outside from spring through fall. Three full bathrooms, plus a half bath, and three above-grade bedrooms, one with ensuite, provide the space and flexibility the property demands. The full unfinished basement offers additional storage and utility, while the steel shingle roof - built to last generations - provides lasting peace of mind. The detached double garage offers more than just parking for two vehicles: a fully self-contained second family unit occupies the rear, ideal as an income-generating Airbnb suite, guest quarters for family, or a private retreat for in-laws visiting. This is a genuinely rare feature in a community where demand outpaces supply. And the location - Arguably the best in Richards Landing. Municipal water and sewer. Hydro and high-speed internet, soon to offer fibre. A short walk to the marina, marina restaurant, grocery store, hospital, pharmacy, school, and every service the village has to offer - all while enjoying the quiet and privacy of a generous lot that feels a world away. Survey on file, shore road allowance is already owned. Most appliances and select furnishings also available for purchase offering turnkey potential for those who want it. This is the property discerning buyers spend years waiting for.
