Address: 1090 Sunset Bay Road, Unit 4 Neighbourhood: Bala Agent: Bob Clarke, Royal Lepage Lakes of Muskoka Realty, Brokerage Price: $2,575,000

The Place: A handsome bungalow with tons of deck space and luxurious upgrades on Lake Muskoka Point in Bala.

The History: The homeowners sunk close to a million dollars into the cottage during a renovation in 2013 and 2014. The new additions include steel docks and a two-slip boathouse with guest quarters on its second floor.

Big Selling Point: The interior’s pine floors and cathedral ceilings give it a rustic look, but modern amenities make the home more livable than the average cottage in the woods. The kitchen, for instance, has Thermidor appliances, a wine fridge, an enormous island and plenty of storage.

Possible Deal Breaker: Although the cottage has year-round access, there’s no garage—meaning the buyers will be scraping plenty of ice and snow off their cars if they spend time there in the winter.

By the Numbers:

• $2,575,000 • $850,000 in renovations • $9,994 in taxes (2014) • 2,500 square feet • 580 feet of shoreline • 3 bedrooms • 2 bathrooms • 2.99 acres • 2-slip boathouse
