Tucked along quiet, private, tree-lined Bigwin View Lane in the storied Glenmount area - steps from Norway Point, Bigwin Island, the Sailing Club and the Tennis Club - lies one of Lake of Bays' most complete and welcoming family cottages. An address that carries real history and meaning on the lake.The main cottage offers 5 bedrooms and 2 baths across two thoughtfully laid-out levels. The main floor centres on a spacious modern kitchen flowing into a bright dining area with walk-out to a full lakeside deck. The living room is anchored by a commanding stone wood-burning fireplace and bay window framing beautiful lake views - a natural gathering space. A screened Muskoka Room opens to a generous rear deck, one of many great conversation areas found throughout.Downstairs, two guest bedrooms with lake views accompany a spacious primary suite featuring its own stone fireplace and bay window with sweeping views of the lawn and Lake of Bays. A storage room, workshop and laundry are all on hand.A short stroll across the laneway brings you to a charming lakeside Bunkie with a 2-piece bath - guests will happily argue over who claims this spot.The 1 1/2 storey boathouse is built for summer fun. The upper level is a fabulous, enclosed space - ideal for board games, curling up with a good book or simply watching the boats drift by - and the perfect rainy-day retreat when Muskoka weather has other plans. A balcony suspended over the water offers sweeping panoramic views of the lake and Bigwin Island. Below, a single wet slip with electric lift and generous decking complete a truly exceptional waterfront package.The lot is a pleasure: a lawn made for outdoor games, perennial gardens and lake views at every turn. The shoreline offers hard-packed rippled sand and clean pebbles - easy, safe swimming for all ages.Private yet social. Established yet timeless. An exceptional opportunity in one of Lake of Bays' most coveted neighbourhoods. (id:63008)
