This home has been lovingly maintained, but also presents an incredible canvas to renovate or build the masterpiece you’ve always envisioned in a truly once-in-a-lifetime lot. Step inside to find a large dining room for memorable gatherings and festive celebrations. The updated, sunny kitchen features ample cabinets, an island, stainless appliances, a sitting area and a wall of windows framing breathtaking views.

The bonus room also has incredible views, and is a welcoming space to watch TV or work from home. A large basement recreation room is the spot for kids to play, plus there is a fourth bedroom with it’s own ensuite, a secondary laundry room and lots of storage on this level. Outside, a massive deck covered by an awning, a hot tub, a dock, mature trees, flower beds full of perennials, and a greenhouse create an extraordinary oasis designed for relaxing, entertaining, and enjoying the surroundings year round. Added privacy comes from having no neighbour on one side, only a quiet access road. This is a home where everyone will naturally gather to soak in the views, play in the water, spend days on the dock and create unforgettable memories.
