Cottage of the Week: $2.5 million for a Lake of Bays cottage with a seriously impressive fireplace
Address: 1148 Green Point Road
Neighbourhood:
Agent: Todd Adair, Jeff Liddle and Megan Mcleod, Cayman Marshall International Realty Inc., Brokerage
Price: $2,499,000
The Place: A five-bedroom, four-bathroom cottage (with at least three antler-inspired chandeliers!) on Muskoka’s Lake of Bays. All its main living spaces are arranged around a round, two-storey great room.
The History: Custom built in 2001, this home looks more classic than its years thanks to its cedar-lined interior, slate flooring and river-stone fireplace.
Big Selling Point: The great room has a central fireplace, open on all four sides, meaning the owner can catch a glimpse of a roaring fire from almost every conceivable angle on the main floor, or gather a few guests for a 360-degree marshmallow roast in the dead of winter.
Possible Deal Breaker: The urinal in the bathroom may feel too “man cave” for some, but think of the benefits: never having to lecture anyone on putting the seat down again (or, conversely, never being lectured to put the seat down again).
316615 The house is situated on 210 feet of private shoreline, and it has a wrap-around deck. (And obviously, it's not always covered in a foot of snow.) https://torontolife.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/toronto-cottage-of-the-week-1148-green-point-road-1-150x150.jpg https://torontolife.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/toronto-cottage-of-the-week-1148-green-point-road-1.jpg https://torontolife.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/toronto-cottage-of-the-week-1148-green-point-road-1.jpg 1200 800 [] https://torontolife.com/real-estate/cottage-of-the-week-2-5-million-for-a-lake-of-bays-cottage-with-a-seriously-impressive-fireplace/slide/toronto-cottage-of-the-week-1148-green-point-road-1/ toronto-cottage-of-the-week-1148-green-point-road-1 0 0
