Why pay rent when you can own this completely updated cottage by the lake? Forget a co-op or condo, move right in and enjoy this nearly half an acre of flat land on a gorgeous corner property with rights to beautiful Oscawana Lake. Move in in time for winter so you can snuggle up in front of the cozy fire, which will provide enough heat to keep your heating cost to a bare minimum. Then in spring/summer you can enjoy the lake amenities, which include boating, fishing and access to a private beach. Some updates include kitchen, bathroom, roof, on demand water heater and a spray foamed floor to keep you nice and toasty.
