Stunning Ontario bungalow for almost $5M was inspired by European art galleries

A newly constructed contemporary bungalow in Oakville is making waves in a community that's known for its high-maintenance, multi-storey traditional plaster builds.

Listed for $4.9 million, 1516 Duncan Rd. boasts three bedrooms plus a den, four bathrooms, and a focus on energy efficiency and automation — with features including off-grid-ready systems, smart home technology, and a minimalist structural design.

Rather than following your average residential design, the home takes inspiration from high-end European modern art galleries, offering a curated architectural experience where every space feels intentionally composed.

Look at all that green!

Sitting on a premium 77 x 146-foot lot, the property features a concrete driveway, perimeter walkways, and covered porches with an integrated and automated snow-melt system.

To top it all off, it's got an attached, oversized double garage with an integrated EV charging station and custom built-in storage systems. 

A premium lot situated in the heart of Southeast Oakville.

Walk into the open-concept living and dining areas, and fall in love with floor-to-ceiling glass window walls, concrete floors with hydronic radiant heating zones, and even a residential interior elevator that goes right to the top of the home. 

Art gallery features include the diamond floor accent, 15-foot vertical clearances, and floor-to-ceiling glass window walls.

Meanwhile, the unique Brazilian black fusion natural stone kitchen is complete with an oversized quartz waterfall island and premium appliances from Thermador and Bosch.

The cherry on top? An integrated wet bar equipped with a specialized Grohe Blue plumbing matrix for carbonated water straight from the tap.

Peep the double wall ovens, a countertop range, and a built-in barista station.

Bring it down to the lower level for premium entertainment. A fully finished basement, a quartzite wet bar, custom fluted cabinetry, a dedicated private home theatre, and an isolated fourth bedroom wing are just some of the features to expect.

The theatre features acoustic broadloom and integrated multi-point audio speakers.

Besides the home's quality design and flow, 1516 Duncan Rd. has a comprehensive smart home ecosystem that operates on a localized Home Assistant core platform. It manages the Lutron lighting networks, multi-zone Sonos audio routing, motorized security shutters, and whole-home smart leak protection.

Don't forget the home's high-efficiency heating grid supported by an air exchanger, smart automated irrigation, and centralized ERV/HRV mechanical ventilation.

For even more peace of mind, the home boasts a robust satellite grid. Designed for absolute digital survival, the home's Home Assistant operating core is hardwired to a redundant dual-network system combining ground-tier fibre with an automated Starlink satellite dish failover.

Completed in 2020, this residence completely updates the standard definition of modern design in Southeast Oakville.

It's not hard to see why 1516 Duncan Road is an absolute gem of a home.
