AGENT: Iris and James Gardiner, Chestnut Park Real Estate Limited, Brokerage
PRICE: $1,575,000
THE PLACE: A six-bedroom, five-bathroom cottage on a sheltered bay in Lake Muskoka.
BRAGGING RIGHTS: With two fireplaces, whitewashed wood-panelled walls, a 300-square-foot screened-in room for outside views on rainy days and handsome wood beam ceilings, this cottage feels quintessentially Muskokan.
BIG SELLING POINT: The sun deck above the boathouse, which seems to extend straight into the water (though we wouldn’t recommend jumping off it) has a staggering 1,300 square feet of sun-drenched space.
POSSIBLE DEAL BREAKER: The downstairs living room is carpeted—great for chilly mornings, but a pain if the kids trek through with sandy feet.
