***FRESHLY RENOVATED*** Impressive year-round home or cottage resting on one of the most desirable park-like properties on Lake Vernon, with 1.62 acres of private manicured grounds to escape to. Enjoy 350 feet of shoreline with due south sun exposure and shallow entry with a hard packed sand bottom, perfect for swimming! Ideally located within a 10km drive of Downtown Huntsville amenities, plus the option to arrive by boat in summer months for lunch and an ice cream treat. Privately tucked back from the quiet dead end township-maintained road, you will find ample parking for family and friends to come and visit, a 1.5 car attached garage, plus a double detached garage with room for storing your boat and a finished home gym too. This well-kept home features 4 bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms across 4,945 sq ft of finished living space that the whole family can enjoy together. Relax and take in the picturesque island dotted lake view from the great room and formal dining room with a double-sided wood burning fireplace wrapped in natural granite. A spacious gourmet kitchen featuring built in appliances, a peninsula with a breakfast bar, and an open concept breakfast room overlooking the backyard and providing access to the sun deck with a glass railing. The finished walkout basement is the ultimate space for entertaining from the billiard room, a cozy Muskoka room, and family room with a fireplace and built-in wet bar, to the spa with a sauna and Jacuzzi tub. Gentle topography leads you from the granite flagstone firepit area down the steps to your private dock with boat port slip for your watercraft, and a floating raft that the kids can swim out to and jump from. This property has been cherished by the current owners for almost 40 years, ready for the next generation to continue making memories at for years to come. Your future cottage life in Muskoka has never looked so good...
