Year-round waterfront home on Whitefish Bay, Lake of the Woods, set on approximately 0.88 acres with 200 feet of rocky shoreline and good water depths. The property has a medium-profile lot with southwest exposure, a natural mix of deciduous and coniferous trees, and very little lawn to maintain. Access is by private gravel road.
The approximately 1,000 sq. ft. home was originally built in the 1960s and has been extensively remodelled and upgraded in recent years. The layout includes two bedrooms, a third bedroom/office, a three-piece bath/laundry room, and an open kitchen, dining, and living area with a vaulted ceiling. Interior finishes feature knotty pine walls and ceilings, pine flooring, and some laminate flooring, creating a warm, classic Lake of the Woods feel. A 12 x 25 ft. screened-in veranda off the dining area provides excellent additional outdoor living space overlooking the lake. This room has remote-controlled electric blinds on the exterior.
Significant upgrades include Canexel exterior siding, BP asphalt shingles replaced in 2018, vinyl triple-pane windows replaced in 2018, 200-amp electrical service installed in 2018, spray foam insulation in the walls, ceiling and crawl space. The home is heated by a forced-air propane furnace and a WETT-certified free-standing wood stove, with central air conditioning and an HRV system in place. Water is drawn year-round from the lake through a heated system with a submersible pump, and there is a whole-house single filter. There is a certified pump-up septic system with a heat line. Hydro is underground.
The outdoor improvements are well developed and in excellent condition, including a large lakeside deck, walkway, stairs to a lower deck platform, and approximately 1,014 sq. ft. of crib dock space, including a protected boat slip. The crib dock was redone in 2019, and there is also a small storage building and a kayak stand near the waterfront.
Additional improvements include an approximately 400 sq. ft. insulated guest cabin built in 2019, with a living area, bedroom, similar interior and exterior finishes to the main home, and a 12 x 20 ft. covered deck overlooking the lake. There is also a 12 x 16 ft. workshop/storage building and two ShelterLogic storage structures. This is a well-improved Whitefish Bay property with year-round services, substantial waterfront infrastructure, guest accommodation, and a comfortable, updated main home. The 66-foot shoreline reserve is not owned.
The home is being sold with all appliances and most furnishings.
Taxes for 2026 are $2,540.66. The Ontario Land Transfer Tax on $735,000 is $11,175.00
