Set on the shores of the Muskoka River in a premium location less than 10 minutes from town, this meticulously maintained brick bungalow offers exceptional privacy, beautiful surroundings and a wonderfully versatile layout. Mature trees frame the property, while spectacular perennial gardens and thoughtfully designed landscaping, featured in publications in years past, create an unforgettable setting leading toward the river. Inside, wide-plank wood floors bring warmth and character throughout. A generous entry welcomes you into the home, with a convenient three-piece bath and laundry room located near the entrance to the attached double garage. The heart of the home is the large, beautiful eat-in kitchen, while the sunken living room offers a cozy gathering space anchored by a wood-burning fireplace. The primary bedroom enjoys ensuite privilege along with its own private balcony overlooking the peaceful surroundings. With five bedrooms across two levels, there is plenty of room for family and guests. Adding tremendous flexibility is a completely self-contained one-bedroom in-law suite with its own separate entrance and private patio, ideal for extended family, guests or multi-generational living. Immaculately cared for from top to bottom, the pride of ownership here is immediately apparent. Tucked away on a quiet street with mature trees, exceptional privacy and the Muskoka River at your doorstep, this is a rare combination of peaceful waterfront living and everyday convenience, all just minutes from downtown.
