The history

The home, completed in 2004, was designed with entertaining in mind. A central kitchen and dining area leads into a sprawling Muskoka room, complete with a hot tub:

Big selling point

A few overnight guests are no problem: there’s a three-car garage, and the boathouse has its own sleeping quarters:

Possible deal breaker

The murals and stencils in nearly every room are intricate and well executed, but buyers looking for a more neutral interior are going to need white paint. A lot of it.

By the numbers

• $5,495,000 • $22,017.00 in taxes (2016) • 4,196 square feet • 2,004-square-foot lower level • 205 feet of waterfront • 6 bedrooms • 6 bathrooms • 1.66 acres
