The one you've been waiting for has arrived! Tucked into a beautifully treed & private lot in the always desirable Bala Bay locale on Lake Muskoka is this newer build that offers a turn-key start to instant cottage life with the wonderful bonus of adding further value when you're ready! Step into this well-built cottage, flooded with natural light, & immediately have your breath taken away by the incredible expansive view thanks to the floor-to-ceiling wall of windows in this Viceroy-style build. Easy one-floor living with a generously sized primary, walk-in closet, & private ensuite benefitted by heated tile floors & large walk-in shower. The open-concept kitchen with striking Cambrian quartz countertops, quality cabinetry & stainless steel appliances leads seamlessly into the dining area for memorable meals at the lake. Just off this is a gorgeous Muskoka room that opens to a large lakeside deck. Picturesque island-dotted views, a priceless hard-packed sand beach for volleyball & dock days in your Muskoka chair, soaking up the sun, or push off for a boat day on the "Big 3" - does life get any better? Another bedroom, 4-pc bath, & large upper loft with 2 closets round out the finished space. If you need more room, a valuable blank canvas awaits on the lower level with lakefront walk-out. Add a rec room, extra bedroom (a 3rd bath already roughed in), & perhaps a gym or games room - you decide! This fabulous offering is easily accessible year-round for winter cottage stays, cozied up around the wood-burning fireplace. The location leaves nothing to be desired: a 3-min drive or pleasurable walk for coffee & provisions at the nearby General Store, brewery for a refreshing pint, or a day at the Beer Spa! A few mins further is the charming & bustling town of Bala for shopping, fine dining, & concerts at the infamous Kee to Bala. This fantastic offering truly puts all the joys of Muskoka living at your fingertips. Stop waiting for the "right time" - the time is now!
