House of the Week: $5.5 million for an Oakville landmark with its own old-timey elevator

Bragging Rights: This local landmark was built for Cecil G. Marlatt, an Oakville bigwig who owned a large tannery and was a big booster of the Royal Canadian Yacht Club.

Big Selling Point: Living in the ‘burbs doesn’t mean having to drive everywhere. This house is walking distance from both the water and downtown Oakville.

Possible Deal Breaker: A heritage property designation means any exterior adjustments must follow Ontario Heritage Act guidelines.

By The Numbers: • $5,500,000 • $21,579 in property taxes • 9,200 square feet of living space • 10 car driveway • 9 bathrooms • 7 bedrooms • 6 fireplaces • 3 storeys • 2-car garage • 2 lantern skylights • 1 coach house with guest suite • 1 fountain
