300 YONGE STREET

Garage sale in Bonfield this weekend. A whole insulated, heated garage on a one-acre lot. Because northern boys and girls need a proper place to store their northern toys. Keeping your sled warm in the winter and your riding mower dry in the summer rain is just as important as having a spacious kitchen with an island for someone who loves to make sourdough and entertain friends and family. Luckily, this garage comes with both. It just happens to include a cute, renovated two-bedroom bungalow with an open-concept, entertaining-style kitchen and living space. So after a cold winter ride on the Ontario Federation of Snowmobile Clubs trails, or a summer day out on Lake Nosbonsing chasing that trophy-sized fish, you have the perfect place to invite everyone back to celebrate the day's adventures. With renovations that are barely ten years old, you can enjoy your lifestyle without that nagging feeling that you should be fixing something around the house. A quality renovation by a previous owner, this home is refreshingly low-maintenance. But if you do feel like getting a little sweaty and dusty, the basement is a blank canvas - ready for your own HGTV-inspired hammering, sawing, plastering, and painting. Did I mention how close this is to the lake? If you stand on your tiptoes and lean just the right way, you can almost see it from the living room window. Or that you can nearly walk your picnic basket down to the falls where the lake flows into the Kaibuskong River? Or that you're just down the road from the local church where, a couple of times a year, the French Canadian community gathers to serve up traditional Sea Pie "cipaille" - a rich, layered meat pie that definitely does not have fish in it. This isn't just a house with a great garage. It's a northern lifestyle headquarters... that just happens to come with a home.
