Cottage of the Week: $2.35 million for a waterfront property with a very pricey home theatre
By Simone Olivero |
By Simone Olivero |
Address: 18 Coutnac Crescent
Neighbourhood: Tiny, Ontario
Agent: Lorne Howell, Royal LePage Real Estate Services Ltd., Brokerage
Price: $2,350,000
The Place: A sprawling vacation property with a high-end house and a 160-foot stretch of white sandy beach on Georgian Bay.
Bragging Rights: The owner spent over $350,000 on a media room with plushy seats, a top-of-the-line projector and excellent acoustics, eliminating the need to take a 20-minute drive to the nearest cinema.
Big Selling Point: Send the kids down to the basement on rainy days—it has a pool table, an air hockey table and an area for practicing hockey shootouts.
Possible Deal Breaker: Epic croquet games on the expansive lawn between the cottage and the beach might give rise to some unsportsmanlike behaviour.
By The Numbers:
• $2,350,000
• 8,500 square feet
• $8,221 in property taxes
• 160 feet of waterfront
• 22-foot ceilings in Great Room
• 14-seat theatre
• 7 bedrooms
• 6-car garage
• 6 bathrooms
• 4 fireplaces
• 1 hockey shooting area
