Whether you're choosing to have a boat or love passive recreational activities such as paddle boarding or kayaking the recreational function along the north shore is excellent! The cottage is positioned on the highest part of the property and not in a flood zone. The major renovation consisted of disassembling the entire home where every stud, joyce, roof decking was exposed, inspected, repaired, replaced, or reengineered accordingly.

Substantial land improvements, including multiple dangerous trees were removed, all their roots , 100 yards of soil for grading and over 15 pallets of sod, garden soil for raised beds and plantings. The architectural vision of this passion project derived around a classic lake cottage but with a few modern day ''flares'' accented in. The space was designed to maximize 850 sq.ft of seamless function. In addition, a large brick paver patio creates a template for wonderful outdoor living space to enjoy as well.
