Set along the scenic Muskoka River, this charming four season waterfront bungalow is the kind of place that invites you to slow down, breathe deeper, and truly enjoy time at the lake. Updated with a modern yet cozy aesthetic, this home strikes the perfect balance between relaxed cottage living and effortless comfort. Designed entirely on one level, the bungalow layout offers accessible living for all ages and stages of life. Families, down sizers, and first time cottage owners will appreciate how naturally the space flows, making it just as suitable for weekend escapes as it is for extended stays. Outside, the level, private yard is ideal for kids, pets, and outdoor entertaining, with plenty of space for lawn games, fire pit nights, and long summer afternoons. The shoreline allows for easy swimming and paddling, while your dock becomes the starting point for endless exploration. Launch the canoe, kayaks or boat and enjoy kilometres of boating and exploring down to two different waterfalls, Slater Falls and May Chutes. As the sun sets, gather under the stars, listen to the crackle of the fire, and enjoy the peace that only waterfront living can offer. This property has a proven history as a successful short term rental, making it an excellent opportunity for investors or those looking to offset ownership costs, with furnishing options available for a seamless transition. Just minutes from downtown Bracebridge, you are close to charming shops, dining, cafés, and the iconic Bracebridge Falls, all while feeling tucked away in nature. Whether you are stepping into cottage ownership for the first time, downsizing to something simpler, or investing in a lifestyle driven property, this is a place where memories are made and Muskoka living truly comes to life.
