Cottage of the Week: $1.45 million for a timber-framed cottage with an impossibly lovely view
Cottage of the Week: $1.45 million for a timber-framed cottage with an impossibly lovely view
Address: 176 Timber Bay Drive
Neighbourhood: Huntsville
Agent: John Aben, Royal Lepage Lakes Of Muskoka Realty, Brokerage, Huntsville
Price: $1,450,000
The Place: A 20-acre property with a beautifully maintained cottage and a 1,360-foot stretch of waterfront on Fairy Lake.
Bragging Rights: Traditional timber framing and huge stone fireplaces lend the cottage a rustic grandeur.
Big Selling Point: From the deck’s glass railings to the living room’s full wall of windows, the cottage was cleverly designed to maximize the views of the lake.
Possible Deal Breaker: The property lacks a boathouse so you’ll have to cart your vessels up to the garage when the winter freeze sets in.
By The Numbers:
• $1,450,000
• 1,791 square feet of space
• 1,360 feet of water frontage
• $798 in property taxes (2013)
• 20 acres of land
• 4 bedrooms
• 2 bathrooms
