This 3-bed, 1-bath waterfront bungalow on Mississippi Lake is all about location. It's a single-storey wood-sided cottage with 30 feet of frontage, and the lot runs 125 feet deep. Inside, it's a classic cottage layout: living room, kitchen, dining area, three bedrooms, and a bathroom, all on one level. No basement to worry about. The place is sold "as is," so expect to put in some work, but the bones are there. Water comes straight from the lake, and there's a holding tank for sewage. Heating is other, so bring your own system or check what's there. You can park four cars off the street, and there are backlots across the road included, giving you room for a trailer or extra storage. The big draws are the sunsets over the water and the easy community feel of Lake Park. High-speed internet is available, so you could even work from here. Carleton Place is just a 5-minute drive for groceries, restaurants, or tying up at the public docks to explore downtown. Ottawa's outskirts, like Stittsville, are about 20 minutes away. Taxes run around $2,275 a year, and asking is $499,000. With few similar listings nearby, it's a chance to own a piece of Mississippi Lake without the cottage-country price tag.
