This 3-bed, 1-bath bungalow sits on a level 115.4 x 240 FT lot with wide-open grass right down to Bitter Lake. You're getting 115 feet of shoreline with a shallow wade-in entry and a dock for swimming or tying up a canoe. Interior leans into classic cottage vibes with pine walls and ceilings throughout. It's about 1,000 sq ft on one floor, no basement to worry about. Living room has an airtight wood stove for cool fall evenings, but a new heat pump handles the rest of the heating duties. There's also a drilled well and full septic, so it's set up for four-season living. Main-floor laundry is tucked in, which is handy. Lakeside deck runs along the back with glass railings so nothing blocks the view. Mature trees give you privacy without hiding the lake. Out back there's a boat port and a couple of sheds for gear storage. Parking is ample with room for six vehicles. Lot is irregular but level - easy for kids and pets. You're about 5 minutes from the West Guilford Shopping Centre and around 10 minutes to Sir Sam's Ski & Bike. Taxes run about $2,012 annually. This one's priced at $724,900, which lands in line with the one other active listing nearby. It's got a real camp feel, not a sterile new build. If you want a spot to actually use every weekend, this is it.
