7 REID'S ROAD — Kawartha Lakes (Verulam), Ontario

This four season Sturgeon Lake cottage or home resides on a very prime half-acre lot with 105 ft of hard-bottom, weed free, north-west facing waterfront that is perfectly positioned for summer sunsets. The three bedroom cottage has just under 1,500 sq ft of living area, highlighted by a spacious living room with wall-to-wall sliding doors that provides excellent lake vistas. A propane stove radiates comforting heat in the off-season. An unfinished basement with a walk-out provides opportunity for additional enhancements. The owner has invested more than $100,000 in improvements over the past year, including new decking, new Generac generator, and basement enhancements including spray-foamed walls, new sump pump, new windows, new heaters and exterior waterproofing. There is a washer/dryer hookup in the basement. Other practical features include a detached garage, paved driveway, and a covered wetslip with an adjacent aluminum tower dock. Water is treated by a UV system and can be sourced either from a drilled well or the lake. The level lot provides plenty of space for outdoor activities, with expansive lawns on both the waterside and roadside sections that are kept lush with a new underground sprinkler system. Reid's Road is one of the best streets on Sturgeon Lake as it is municipally maintained, set back from County Road 24 to minimize road noise, very quiet with only 12 properties, and only a five minute drive to the lovely town of Bobcaygeon and 15 minutes from the hospital and other services in Lindsay. While the cottage is very functional in its current condition, the quality of the lot and waterfront means that additional enhancements can be undertaken without fear of hitting a valuation ceiling.
