The welcoming family room features a cozy fireplace, perfect for gathering after a day spent on the water. The primary suite offers a walk-in closet and a private ensuite, creating a comfortable retreat at the end of the day. Outside, the property is simply spectacular. Mature trees and beautifully landscaped grounds create a sense of privacy, while the lake, fire pit, and backyard gazebo invite you to relax and make the most of every season.

Families will especially appreciate the location. The Orenda Canoe Club and the Lake Echo Community Centre are both within walking distance, offering after-school programs, summer camps, daycare, and recreational activities.
