Neighbourhood: Carling, Ontario
Agent: Michael W. Gerhardt, M. Gerhardt Real Estate Ltd., Brokerage
Price: $2,175,000
The Place: A modern, three-bedroom cottage, built with sustainability in mind.
Bragging Rights: This place was the winner of a 2012 Ontario Association of Architects award for Design Excellence. Its sleek interiors are the handiwork of Toronto’s Tact Architecture Inc.
Big Selling Point: Quality, sustainable materials like energy-efficient insulated concrete, cedar and Owen Sound stone are bound to help the structure age gracefully.
Possible Deal Breaker: The cottage has been sitting on the market for nearly two years, but the seller is hoping a price drop of almost $1 million will entice a buyer.
