Cottage of the Week: $5 million for a Bracebridge cottage with a modern interior

Bragging Rights: Few home gyms could beat the view from this cottage’s oversized workout room, which comes complete with a walk-out deck for the post-exercise cool down.

Big Selling Point: This cottage seamlessly blends interior and exterior space. The master washroom, for instance, looks like it was carved into the surrounding rocks. There are also two exterior fireplaces, rough-hewn wood throughout (but especially in the kitchen) and rooms of floor-to-ceiling windows to make the best of the wide lakeside vista.

Possible Deal Breaker: We’re struggling to think of one. Maybe being five million dollars poorer would be a drawback, but anyone who’d bid on this place would probably be able to afford it.

By the Numbers:

• $4,950,000 • 6,200 square feet • 6 bedrooms • 6 washrooms • 5 years old • 5.39 acres of land • 2-slip boathouse • 2 outdoor fireplaces • 1 indoor gym
