Lake life, without giving up the comforts of home. Set on 0.6 acres with 100 feet of waterfront on the western shore of Balsam Lake, this exceptionally cared-for four-season bungalow offers big lake views, space to breathe and a lifestyle that is hard to beat. Warm and inviting, the home feels more like a comfortable year-round residence than a traditional cottage. The open-concept main floor is filled with natural light and lake views, with a wood-burning fireplace creating a welcoming gathering space. The spacious primary suite is a true retreat, with sweeping water views, private deck, ensuite bath and large walk-in closet. The kitchen features a generous granite island with seating for four and stainless appliances. Downstairs is bright and spacious, with large windows and a walkout overlooking the lake. The family room, complete with a second wood-burning fireplace, is joined by two bedrooms, a full bath and a flexible bonus room with glass French doors and beautiful water views-ideal as an office, guest room, gym or whatever suits your lifestyle. Outside, the level, maturely treed property offers room for kids to play, family to gather and everyone to enjoy the lake. Multiple lake-facing decks, seating areas, armour stone shoreline and a firepit create plenty of places to relax. The clean, weed-free waterfront is ideal for swimming, boating and fishing, with deep water off the dock. Dock and boat lift included. Year-round municipal road, garbage/recycling pickup and school bus service make four-season living easy. Propane forced-air heat, central air, Generac generator, attached two-car garage and detached garage for boats and storage add everyday convenience. Located on Balsam Lake, part of the Trent-Severn Waterway, this is more than a waterfront property-it's a place to spend mornings on the dock, afternoons on the water and evenings around the fire. Come for the view. Stay for the lifestyle.
