The waterfront
Inside the home
A gambrel-roof cottage-style home about 1 km from the Oliphant shoreline on Lake Huron. The structure is solidly maintained — new roof in 2021, a variable-speed heat pump installed in 2022, and a fully updated water system in 2020. The big-ticket items are taken care of. Inside, the look is unchanged from its original build era: knotty pine panelling on every wall, carpet throughout, popcorn ceilings, and white appliances in a galley kitchen. The bones are good but the cosmetics are fully dated — buyers who want a turnkey finish will need to budget for updates. The lower level has a walkout to the rear yard, a sauna, and additional flex space. The detached garage is a genuine asset at 30 by 20 feet with a loft. The lot is 100 by 150, treed, and private.

The installation of a high-efficiency, variable-speed heat pump (2022) ensures a comfortable climate in every season, while the 2021 roof and comprehensive 2020 water system updates-including the sandpoint, pressure tank, and treatment equipment-reflect a reassuring level of care.Beyond the main walls, the property continues to cater to a life of ease. The inclusion of a portable generator (2019) provides a sense of security, while modern touches like bidet-equipped baths and a refreshed Saunacore heater in the private sauna add a layer of refinement.
