Cottage of the Week: $2.35 million for a waterfront property with a very pricey home theatre

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
