Chalet, A-frame or Cape Cod could easily describe this beautiful home. Snuggle in the cool weather or enjoy Lake Ontario breezes a short distance away. Include a couple of porches, an outdoor covered patio, a 30x40' garage with wood stove and a 26x26' shed with loft and you can have it all! There's also a Murphy bed so the second bedroom can convert the room from office to guest room. Is this what you are looking for? Everything fresh and clean with an updated kitchen, baths, electric, plumbing, landscaping, roof, furnace and so much more. Bordered by farms, this is a great spot. Pines and flowering trees wrap around this 1 acre lot, and there's always room for more! This unique home offers options for heating, cooling, cooking and more (propane, electric, oil). The attention to detail is highlighted by the primary suite with walk-in shower (27x22') and door to peaceful second story front porch.

Beautiful and stunning describe this completely transformed cape cod. As soon as you enter, the wow factor begins! From the new modern kitchen with updated appliances, through the open concept living area with great views everywhere. Exceptional sitting area for relaxing with a summer lake breeze or getting cozy near the wood burning stove on colder days. At the end of your day, you can head up on to the 2nd floor oasis of a bedroom, complete with full bath. From cathedral ceilings, to built-ins, to soaking tub and even a walk out balcony to watch the amazing sunsets. Need more area to enjoy peace, quiet, or entertaining? How about a large walk out front deck with just a few short steps to the hot tub. Thought, comfort and style were at the forefront with this transformation.

Great big view from this “double decker”! Sunrises & sunsets can be enjoyed looking out at the lake from either first or second story deck of this A-frame on just over an acre. Plus a 12’x16’ shed & a that has a covered patio & screened interior. Very quiet area. Interior offers all appliances (stove, fridge) & a wood stove to keep you cozy. Second floor has been partially finished and some supplies will be included. Water lines for second bath installed. Some drywall. A great rehab loan candidate that will let you create your own spa/bath & bedroom, with door to 2nd story open porch.
