This 1.99-acre property on Desert Creek is a truly inspiring living place. The well-loved, cedar-sided home sits comfortably within its natural surroundings and brings the tranquillity of nature inside. Its thoughtful design is practical and beautiful. The home features an open great room that spans the length of the house. Located in the great room is a hearth with a stone fireplace on one side and a wood stove on the other. It's the heart of the home. With its cathedral ceiling, the great room offers a versatile area that can be laid out a dining room, living room, and family room. A wall of windows looks out onto the trees leading down to Desert Creek, and sliding doors open into a screened-in sun porch at the back of the house (a quiet, private, relaxing space), and then to a large deck overlooking the water-a perfect place for a barbecue, simple dinner, or quiet reading. Off the great room is a bright, welcoming kitchen, two generously sized bedrooms that overlook the woods and water, and a third room that could be used as a bedroom, guest room, office space, or art studio. Toward the front of the house are large bay windows on both sides of the great room, creating a bright, cheerful space. The main door leads to an airy, inviting, three-season sun room-a great place for entertaining or an informal meal in the summer. The basement has a separate entrance, a second bathroom, a laundry/utility room, and plenty of unfinished area to make your own. The yard is informally landscaped and transitions gently into woods. A trail leads down through the woods to a level, open area by the waterfront. The shoreline is natural and surrounded by mature trees, with a tiny island off the shore. Desert Creek, known locally as Mitchell Creek, leads to the open waters of nearby Desert Lake, and in the opposite direction, to the rugged wilderness of Frontenac Provincial Park. This is a comfortable home, on a property that is beautiful in every season. It's a gem.
