1040 River Street, Muskoka Lakes

Bring your vision to Bala. Set on a lovely road in the heart of this charming Muskoka community, this 3-bedroom, 1-bathroom home is ready for its next chapter. The house needs significant updating, but it has been completely cleared out, giving you a clean slate to see the possibilities and get straight to work. The single-storey layout offers three bedrooms, one bathroom and practical living space, with an unfinished basement providing additional storage and utility space. The home is heated by a forced-air oil furnace and sits on a nicely sized lot with room to rethink, refresh and make it your own. For renovators, investors, or buyers looking for a project, this property offers an opportunity to transform an existing home in one of Muskoka's most beloved small communities. Whether you are imagining a refreshed full-time residence, an investment project or exploring options to meet a local housing need, there is plenty of potential here. This is not a move-in-ready home, and that is exactly the point. It is a chance to start with a blank canvas, bring your ideas to life and create something special in Bala. (id:1945)
