Basford Lake Cottage! Incredible setting with 42' of private lake frontage, beautiful views, and plenty of room to relax or entertain. Currently configured as a 2 bedroom, 1 bath cottage with room to expand in the walkout lower level. This classic 1950's ridge-top cottage was incredibly well built and remains exceptionally solid. Features include a brand new roof in 2024, newer Andersen windows, timeless log siding, and warm cedar interior finishes for the perfect up-north feel. Enjoy summer mornings in the sunroom with two full-wall windows overlooking the water, then cozy up by the pellet fireplace on crisp fall evenings. The lower level is dry, solid, and ready for future finishing opportunities.
