The waterfront
No water frontage on the lot; Lake Huron sand beach is a short walk away
Inside the home
This is a property built around one standout space: a two-storey living room with a floor-to-ceiling brick fireplace and tall windows that pull in the forest. The architecture has real bones — skylights, a loft primary suite with its own wood stove, open-plan main floor — but the finishes are broadly original 1980s and will need updating. The back family room is the most dated area, with popcorn ceilings and full wood panelling. Bedrooms have carpet and embossed wall panels. The kitchen has knotty pine cabinets and aging counters. Budget for a full interior refresh. The lot is nearly an acre of mature trees with established perennial gardens, two outbuildings, and a 4-minute walk to a Lake Huron sand beach. No direct waterfront, but close enough that it functions like a cottage property.
