A PRIVATE RETREAT IN THE HEART OF PORT SYDNEY--Discover the rare combination of privacy, natural beauty and small-town charm in the welcoming community of Port Sydney. Tucked away at the end of a long, gently sweeping driveway beneath a canopy of mature trees, this property offers a secluded retreat just a two-minute walk from shared water access to beautiful Mary Lake through the Mary Lake Crescent Association. The home's distinctive architecture, open-concept layout and abundant natural light create a warm, inviting atmosphere, equally suited to year-round living or a weekend cottage escape. The updated kitchen features stainless steel appliances and flows seamlessly into the living space, making it ideal for entertaining. Beautiful pine floors, a primary bedroom with walkout to a private deck and numerous additional improvements contribute to a move-in-ready experience without the need for significant additional investment. A detached garage and workshop with room for up to four vehicles and its own 100-amp electrical panel offers exceptional versatility for car enthusiasts, hobbyists and anyone needing extra space for projects or storage. Imagine an evening swim after a warm summer day, an early morning paddleboard or a Saturday afternoon spent fishing. Enjoy the best of the Muskoka lifestyle just steps from your door, without the premium property taxes and added maintenance often associated with direct waterfront ownership. Whether you're looking for a comfortable year-round home, a weekend getaway or a private retreat surrounded by nature, this is a unique opportunity to enjoy the best of both worlds: peaceful seclusion and the charm of a wonderful lakeside community.
