About this home
Welcome to a truly rare waterfront offering where the tranquility of cottage living meets the convenience of town amenities. Set on nearly 4 acres with over 700 feet of shoreline on beautiful Shadow Lake, this exceptional property provides a private retreat surrounded by mature trees, abundant wildlife, and breathtaking natural scenery. The thoughtfully updated bungalow offers approximately 1,800 sq. ft. of comfortable main-floor living, featuring an inviting open-concept layout designed for both everyday living and entertaining. The renovated kitchen serves as the heart of the home, while generous living spaces and large windows capture stunning views of the surrounding property. The fully finished walkout lower level provides additional living and guest space with direct access to the outdoor entertaining area and pool deck. Step outside and enjoy a lifestyle that feels more like a lakeside cottage than a residence in town. Spend your mornings paddleboarding or kayaking, afternoons exploring the shoreline and nearby trails, and evenings relaxing by the water while taking in spectacular sunsets. Properties offering this level of privacy, waterfront access, and natural beauty are seldom available. A spacious attached 4-car garage is fully insulated and heated, complete with a rare drive-through design, making it ideal for hobbyists, car enthusiasts, recreational equipment, or additional storage. Numerous recent updates provide peace of mind, including improvements to the roof, furnace, air conditioning, pool liner, pool pump, and extensive interior renovations. Located just over an hour from Toronto and minutes from the Waterford Ponds, Trans Canada Trail, and local amenities, this is a unique opportunity to enjoy the best of both worlds -- a cottage lifestyle with the convenience of town living.
