Welcome to 27 Driftwood Trail, a meticulously maintained bungalow inside Ridgeway-by-the-Lake, one of Niagara's most sought-after communities, a short stroll from the shores of Lake Erie. Purchased new from the builder in 2011 and thoughtfully upgraded ever since, this is one-floor living done properly. An interlock drive, landscaped perennial beds with in-ground irrigation, and a covered porch set the tone. Inside, site-finished solid hardwood flows through a bright open-concept main level with soaring ceilings over the dining area, a custom layout that seats eight with room to spare. The kitchen features a built-in coffee bar, the main-floor primary sits beside a beautifully updated bath with custom stone vanity and heated floor, and a second bedroom makes an ideal office. Downstairs, nearly 1,000 sq ft of finished space delivers a massive L-shaped rec room, a third bedroom and 3-piece bath off their own hall, a hobby room, and clean workshop storage. The mechanicals impress: newer TempStar furnace, owned on-demand hot water, dual sump with water-powered backup and leak detection, EV-ready double garage with epoxy floor. Out back, unwind by the raised ornamental pond among mature cedar-mulched gardens. Rooftop solar array on the home (details through listing agent). And the residents-only privilege: exclusive optional membership in the Algonquin Club, the community's private 9,000 sq ft clubhouse with outdoor saltwater pool, fitness centre, sauna, library, billiards and a vibrant social calendar. Membership is reserved for Ridgeway-by-the-Lake homes, and many nearby properties, even newer ones, sit outside the community and cannot join. With Crystal Beach, golf, the Friendship Trail and quick border access minutes away, homes of this calibre rarely surface here. Algonquin Club maintenance and membership fee, $1,153/yr for 2026
