House of the Week: $2.4 million for a modular home near Prince Edward County with a waterfront deck the size of a basketball court

Location: Rossmore, Prince Edward County Price: $2,398,000 Size: 3,100 square feet Bedrooms: 3 Bathrooms: 2 Realtor: Anita Springate-Renaud, Engel & Völkers Toronto Central


The place

A custom-built three-bedroom, two-bathroom modular home sitting on the Bay of Quinte in Rossmore. Winter-proof, the place has a show-stopping deck, eight skylights, striking views of nature and 36 metres of shoreline. It’s a five-minute drive to Belleville and Highway 401 and another half hour to Sandbanks Provincial Park.

The history

Realtor and general contractor Anita Springate-Renaud spent the past five years building this house with her father, Horst. A long-time Prince Edward County resident, Horst started the project in 2018, but supply chain delays forced construction to drag on until this past spring. He’s since opted to live closer to Toronto for the city’s amenities, so Anita is now putting the property on the market.
