This is a 3-bed, 2-bath house in South Bruce Peninsula, sitting on a 140 x 127.5 ft lot. It's got that classic cottage vibe with wood exterior, and the interior feels like it's been well-loved. Main floor has the kitchen, living/dining, and a 3-piece bath, while upstairs you'll find the four-piece bath and two bedrooms plus a huge primary. The place is winterized, so you can use it year-round, and it's just a short stroll to the beach and shops. There's a 22x17 detached garage that fits a car and all your kayaks and paddleboards. Recent updates: roof in 2022, new septic in 2022, water heater in 2026, and exterior staining in 2023. Heating's electric baseboard, no A/C. It's got a crawl space foundation, but the updates and location make up for it. Asking $625k, which is about average for the area, and taxes are around $2,800. The lot is level and partially wooded, so you get some privacy. You're half a kilometer from Valu-Mart for groceries and less than that to Pizza Delight. Sauble Falls Provincial Park is 5.5 km away for when you need a change of scenery. Market's a bit slow right now, with places sitting about 75 days, but this one's priced right compared to recent sales.
