The action
This three-bedroom house tugged at the heartstrings of local and out-of-town buyers alike because of its tranquil location on a 100- by 150-foot lot within 200 metres of Wagner Lake. The first offer on the property, about 90 kilometres northeast of Toronto, was accepted, though it was just shy of the asking price.
“It’s a really nice, small community, close enough to town so you don’t feel isolated,” said agent Marie Persaud. “And it’s a very pretty setting.”
What they got
Nearly every room in this roughly 60-year-old house has access to one of two decks wrapped around three sides, from the eat-in kitchen and living room to two bedrooms on the second floor.
Three-piece bathrooms on both levels are connected to a septic system. The basement is a crawl space.
Outdoors there is a shed and a private driveway large enough to park four cars.
The agent’s take
“Most of the lots are around that size, and the odd one has a little more land,” Ms. Persaud said.
“You have neighbours nearby, but you also have your privacy, and the house was a comfortable house.”
The site’s proximity to the water appealed to outdoor enthusiasts. “There are people who live all around the lake, and it’s used for boating, canoeing, swimming and fishing,” said Ms. Persaud.
