Tucked away just steps from Chemong Lake, this architecturally designed, one-of-a-kind home feels like a fairytale cottage. Hidden from the road, a secret garden unveils a two-storey home clad in cedar shakes, crowned with a portico at the roofline and surrounded by lush greenery. Inside, the character continues with large Douglas Fir beams, vaulted ceilings, cedar accent walls and hardwood floors throughout most of the home, while ample windows fill every room with natural light. The main floor is made for intimate gatherings, with an open-plan living, dining and kitchen area, a convenient laundry space, a powder room and a charming covered porch off the living room.

Upstairs you'll find three bedrooms and a main bathroom with a shower and clawfoot tub, plus a loft that works well as extra living space, studio or a home office. The walk-out basement is partially finished with a rough-in bathroom, ready for your finishing touches. Outside, gardening enthusiasts will love the pesticide-free soil, and eco-conscious buyers will appreciate the geothermal heating and cooling and the owned solar panels. A natural fit for creative types and artists seeking an inspiring place to call home, the property is close to Ennismore, Bridgenorth and Peterborough and offers community access to Lakeside Common a community park and dock, so you can enjoy lake life without the expense.
