Rare opportunity to own an entire peninsula on prestigious Arbutus Lake. This home has been impeccably maintained and fully remodeled. Its features are many, including an open floor plan, a surplus of windows to take in the lake from every direction and from every single room in the house. Both bathrooms have heated tile floors, oversized master suite with cathedral ceilings, a cook's kitchen. The gas fireplace in the living room provides toasty heat and ambiance. Detached garage / boathouse offers, not only storage for water toys and the necessities, but a workshop area and the potential to finish off the lower level as a lake recreation room. The oversized garden shed could easily be made into a bunkhouse for extras. The serenity of this piece of land abounds with a sandy beach, wildlife everywhere (loons, song birds, deer, swans, fox. .. you name it). Sit back, relax, make a fire on the beach, fish, swim, boat, take walks in the woods, have coffee on your deck or beach, watch a sunset. Such an amazing property.
