Charleston Lake's 154 km shoreline and 133 islands are right at your doorstep from this 1.5-storey cottage on Foster Bay Lane. The place is fully furnished, so you can literally show up with just your swimsuit. Photos show a wrap-around deck that catches those sunset views, plus a fire pit out back for evening s'mores. Inside, there are 4 beds total: 3 up and 1 in the basement, with a single 3-piece bath that's been recently updated. Heat pump handles both AC and heat for spring and fall, and there's a newer sewage system with a holding tank. You've got a private sand beach for the kids, and the lot is 43.5 x 179.3 ft with 8 parking spots for guests. Exterior is hardboard, sitting on wood piers with a crawl space. Fishing's big here-lake trout, bass, pike-and Charleston Lake Provincial Park is just 8.3 km away. Village of Athens is about 15 minutes, with a bank, pharmacy, two bakeries, and a well-stocked hardware store. At $499,900, it's priced at the median for the area, with only one other active listing nearby. Ottawa's 1.5 hours west, Toronto 3 hours, and Montreal 2, so it's a sweet spot for weekend getaways. Taxes run $2,774 annually. Move-in ready, low maintenance, and you own it freehold. Perfect economical entry into cottage life on a prime lake.
