Where affordability meets opportunity and lifestyle. Located in the Lakeside Community of McGuire Beach community along Canal Lake and the Trent Severn Waterway, this Back Lot property is just steps to the lake and offers a fantastic opportunity for handy first time buyers, renovators, or anyone looking to create a recreational getaway. The home features a unique two level layout. The ground level is mostly unfinished and functions as a clean slate, with an open area that includes the laundry room, utility space, a new furnace (March 2026), new woodstove (March 2026), and updated plumbing (March 2026). A framed and drywalled bedroom is already in place and ready for finishing. This level can be customized to suit your needs-extra living space, workshop, storage, or future bedrooms. Upstairs serves as the main floor, offering two bedrooms, a living room, kitchen, 4 pc Bath and two elevated walkouts: a front deck off the kitchen and a smaller rear deck off the living room. The deep lot backs onto peaceful pasture views and provides plenty of room for outdoor activities, gardens, firepits, and recreation. There is ample parking for vehicles and space for trailers or toys, making it practical for weekend use or year round living. It's an ideal setup for anyone wanting space to build equity and create something of their own.
