You're five minutes from the Kirkfield Lift Lock, and the lake is basically your backyard. This renovated bungalow sits on 103 feet of waterfront with over half an acre of flat land, so there's room to spread out. Inside, it's a 2+2 layout with two full kitchens and two 4-piece baths. The main floor has the living room, kitchen, and two beds, all with laminate flooring and a walkout to the deck. Downstairs, the finished walkout basement has its own kitchen, two more bedrooms, a family room, and a patio, making it perfect for guests or rental potential. The whole place comes furnished, which is a big plus if you want a cottage you can move into right away. Outside, there's a covered bar pavilion with a Blackstone grill and bar fridge, plus a fire pit for evening hangs. The lot is dry and flat, with a drilled well and septic, and there's central air and forced air propane heat so it works year-round. Four parking spots and a garage handle the cars and toys. Only one other active listing nearby, and the median sold price here is $483K, so at $900K, you're paying for the waterfront, the renovations, and the sheer size. With fishing right off the dock and the Trent-Severn waterway just down the road, this is a proper four-season retreat.
