12 SHELLEY DRIVE — Kawartha Lakes (Mariposa), Ontario

Fully renovated and brimming with charm, this modern cottage-style home offers the perfect blend of comfort, style, and lakeside living-just steps from the water in the cozy, tight-knit community of Washburn Island. This beautifully updated 2+1 bedroom, 2 bathroom home has been completely transformed inside and out, featuring luxury vinyl plank flooring throughout and fresh paint in every space. The main floor offers a bright and inviting living room with a wood-burning fireplace, overlooking the large, east-facing covered front porch-perfect for morning coffee with peaceful lake views. The open-concept dining area flows seamlessly into a custom-designed kitchen complete with quartz countertops, updated stainless steel appliances, and a thoughtfully designed layout, along with a stunning 4-piece bath and walk-out to the rear deck. Set on a private 0.34-acre lot surrounded by mature trees, this property offers both space and seclusion. Upstairs, the spacious, light-filled bedrooms each feature their own walk-out balconies with views of the lake, while the primary retreat includes a walk-in closet. Both bathrooms have been fully renovated with stylish finishes including subway tile, modern vanities, glass shower, and sleek black hardware. The cozy finished basement (2023) adds valuable living space with an additional bedroom area, electric fireplace, and ample storage. Additional upgrades include spray foam insulation and hydro in the shop, water softener, water purification system, and an expanded U-shaped driveway. Located on a quiet street with the lake directly across the road, and just steps to the boat launch, sandbar, and park-this is a rare opportunity to enjoy year-round living with a cottage feel only one hour from the GTA.
