This 5-bed, 2-bath bungalow on a 90x172 ft lot is a serious project, but it's way further along than the outside suggests. The interior's mostly done: new windows and an updated kitchen, plus a fully finished walkout basement with its own kitchen and living space, and 2 bedrooms. That lower level's set up perfectly for a rental or in-law suite. Main floor has 3 beds and a bath, and there's central air and forced air propane heat. You're getting 7 parking spots and a detached garage. What's left is siding and some finishing touches, so budget $25k-$40k to wrap it up and you've got a waterfront cottage likely worth seven figures. It's priced at $849,999, which matches the median nearby, but there's basically nothing else active in the area right now. You're on the water in Kawartha Lakes, about 10 km from town, with the Lindsay Airport 8.9 km away. Taxes run $5,455 annually. Septic and municipal water are in. This one's for someone who isn't scared of a little exterior work and sees the potential. The basement's already done, so you could even live there while finishing the outside. Big water views from those oversized windows. Quite the setup once it's complete.
