Bird's Nest Cottage Offers Soaring Timber Ceilings To Match Huge Views

If you’re looking for a lakefront Muskoka cottage that doesn’t skimp on views, this eagle’s nest bungalow perched high atop scenic Bruce Lake provides the best of both worlds. With a boathouse sitting on 444 feet of pristine shoreline down below and panoramic lake views up above, this 2,000 sq. ft retreat is a goldmine for those who flock to the region for its unparalleled beauty (so… everyone). Centred around a unique octagonal grand room, featuring 28-foot vaulted timber ceilings, the home boasts a wrap-around deck, newly renovated bathrooms, and ATV trails for getting to and from the lake from the main cottage, for those who quiver at the sight of a StairMaster. From the front door, the bungalow cottage appears cosy, yet run-of-the-mill for the area. But step inside and jaws will drop. Look up, and take in the soaring knotted timber ceilings of the grand room, which houses the open-concept kitchen, living, and dining rooms. Specs: Address: 1010 North Drive Bedrooms: 4 Bathrooms: 2 Size: 2,099 sq. ft Price: $2,495,000 Listed by: Becky Deutschmann, RE/MAX Twin City Realty Inc. In a unique design, the kitchen sits at the centre, marked at each corner with large timber beams that connect with a windowed cupola overhead. Surrounding the kitchen, the dining room and living room enjoy panoramic lake views, with walk-outs to the wrap around porch. Our Favourite Thing The one tricky thing about a bird’s nest cottage is that it can be a pain to make the long trip up from the lake. Imagine, you just settled in with your chips and realized you forgot the dip upstairs… Agony. But at 1010 North Drive, towels, sunscreen, and chip dip are just seconds away thanks to ATV pathways leading between the cottage and the water. Off the grand room are the four bedrooms, with the primary suite having its own wing and four-piece ensuite for heightened privacy and luxury. Outside, a large wrap-around deck makes the perfect spot for enjoying an evening cocktail or mid-day snack, but head to the lake for ample dock space to bask in the Muskoka sun.
