EXCLUSIVE LISTING
******** Click on small pictures to get a better view. ********
This is a very well kept 2 plus 1 bedroom home with a circular driveway and a detached 1.5 car garage. The main level has tongue & groove maple flooring of random widths except for the main floor bathroom and kitchen area which are done in ceramic tile. The kitchen features a good quality set of oak cupboards with a work island. All the trim and baseboard on the main floors are oak along with an oak curved staircase going to the 2nd bedroom on the upper level.
The main level is an open concept design with French doors leading from the dining area to the master bedroom as well as a patio door walkout from this area to a large screened in porch where you can enjoy the outdoors without being bugged. The living room has a stone propane fireplace and beamed ceilings along with two large picture windows on each side. The main floor five piece bathroom is very spacious with a huge whirlpool bathtub.
The lower level is completely finished and features a patio door walkout facing the waterfront. There is another kitchen area with the same good quality oak cupboards, a four piece bathroom, another propane fireplace, a built in cherry wood curio cabinet with a mirror backing and glass shelves and a third bedroom or office area. This level also contains a work shop and laundry room and lots of storage space and closets. This level offers either a totally self sufficient one bedroom in-law suite or a very nicely appointed family room with a summer kitchen depending on the owner's preference.
The location of the property is on a dead end, well kept, private year round road approximately one mile in off the highway. It is about a ten minute drive to the villages of Buckhorn, Lakefield and Bridgenorth and about a twenty minute drive into the city of Peterborough. There is a Conservation area of bush across the road from the property and the lot is for the most part kept rugged with rocks and trees but there is a small amount of grass to be cut between the waterfront and the house. The lot also has a very gentle slope from the front of the house to the waterfront allowing for the patio door walkout from the basement. There will be a cottage association fee for the up keep of the private road but the municipality provides free garbage and recycling pick up and if desired the Peterborough Examiner delivers the daily newspaper right to your door.
Like almost all of the other waterfront properties on the Trent System there will be some weed growth in the water but because of the unique layout of this location they are easily and completely removed with an implement that was made up to do this if it is desired. You also get the sunsets over the trees as this property has Western Exposure.
The exterior of the house and garage is done in vinyl and before this was installed there was an additional one inch of insulation and then house wrap added to ensure maximum energy conservation. The windows are the Low "E" Argon type. There is a covered verandah all along with front of the house and the one end of the house with an entrance door into the spacious screened in porch area which has the patio door entrance into the home as well. There has been a steel roof installed on both the house and garage a couple of years ago so no worries about having to shingle. There 1.5 car garage has an automatic door opener and a separate patio door entrance as well.
ADDITIONAL FEATURES

The location of this property will not be for everyone as it is not on the open lake but at the end of a quiet bay so there will be a number of conditions it WON'T PROVIDE:
You won't get high waves and rough water washing up on your shoreline and smashing your boat against your dock.
You won't have to take your dock out in the Fall and put it back in the Spring.
You won't get a lot of boat traffic along with the noise and the annoying wake they would normally create.
You won't need to have a marine rail to take your boat out of the water when you're not using it.
You won't see or hear a lot of other people on a daily basis as the area is very quiet and serene.
You won't have other houses across the road from you as this is all bush and part of the Conservation area.
You won't get to see many vehicles on the road as it is a dead end with only a few places on past this location.
You won't see many lights at night other than your own and the natural moon light.
You won't have to pay an extra $50,000.00 to $100,000.00 that would be added on to the price if this house was on the open lake.
