Here's a spot that'll surprise you: a 1.5-storey Cape Cod on a massive 300' by 242' lot in a quiet waterfront community. The house itself is 2,088 square feet with 3 beds and 1.5 baths. The main floor has a kitchen, dining room, living room, den, family room, and a laundry - plus a woodstove for those cold months. Upstairs you'll find all three bedrooms and a bath. Notable: there's a double attached garage and a detached garage, giving you serious parking or workshop space, with 12 spots total. Big yard, level and flat. This lot is the real star here - it's rare to find this much space with a boat launch just steps away, and a township park, beach, and government dock down the street. Heated by a heat pump plus baseboarders, with a wall unit for cooling. Septic and drilled well handle the utilities. Roof and windows are newer, and the vinyl siding keeps maintenance simple. Taxes run $3,796 annually. No basement, just a crawl space, but you've got plenty of room to expand if you want a home-based business - there's lots of space inside and out. Fenelon Falls Secondary School is 7.4 km out, and Eganridge Inn & Country Club is 4.8 km. With only 4 active listings nearby, this one stands out. Priced at $699,900, it's under the median sold price of $799,900, so there's some value here. If you need space for toys, a workshop, or a growing family, this could be your spot.
