| Looking for that home away from home? City convenience in cottage country within one hour of Toronto? Visit Ellenbank, our family home for over 50 years, at Beaverton, Ontario. With 129 feet of waterfront to give you a private beach, two boat houses, dock and boat hoist, you can enjoy all that Lake Simcoe has to offer, summer and winter. The swimming, boating and fishing are superb, and even in winter the sunsets - like the one seen here - are spectacular. The house is fully winterized, with a gorgeous panelled living room, dining room and kitchen with built in appliances, including countertop range, wall oven, dishwasher, refrigerator, washer and dryer. Three double bedrooms, one with an ensuite bath, and a main bathroom are on the first floor. The upstairs fourth bedroom extends the length of the cottage, with dividers and space for up to ten depending on the configuration of the beds. In addition to an enclosed porch off the living room, the cottage is flanked by two patios and overlooks a wooded ravine. The gas-fired forced-air furnace with electronic air cleaner and high-efficiency/low emission large capacity gas water heater are in the basement workshop, which has ample space for storage and hobbies. Telephone, cable TV, town water and sanitary sewers and 100A electric service are connected there as well. A large single-car detached garage, with its own basement, provides additional storage to accommodate a riding mower, snowblower and other garden equipment. The short level paved driveway to Morrison Avenue - a municipally-maintained year-round paved street leading into the town of Beaverton less than two miles away - means limited shovelling in winter, and convenient access to shopping and services at all times. For those who may not be familiar with the east side of Lake Simcoe, Beaverton is a thriving small community of friendly people of all ages, and since the main highway now bypasses it, the streets are safe and relatively uncongested. It lies approximately half way between the Newmarket/Keswick area at the south end of the lake, and Orillia at the north end. Highway 404 will be extended in the next few years to link this region more easily with Toronto, some 60 miles (100 km) away. Beaverton has multiple banks, grocery and hardware stores, pharmacies, physicians, veterinarians, home improvement centers - virtually all of the 'essentials' for urban living, without any of the hassles. It has its own Health Center and Fire Department, hockey and curling rinks, a well-stocked library, public and parochial schools, several churches, theater, protected deepwater harbor with two marinas, several municipal parks, post office, museum, and fairgrounds. Two golf courses are within ten minutes, and the Trent Canal enters Lake Simcoe just a few minutes to the north. In addition to the lakefront property, we are also offering nearly two acres of land directly across Morrison Avenue, which contains five 100' frontage building lots already subdivided on the town plan. The family planted white pine and spruce, black walnut and silver maple trees 35 years ago, which have grown to create a parklike setting. This is the largest parcel remaining in the community, and will be a fabulous opportunity for either investment or immediate development. These lots front on Third Street, and have their municipal water connections already in place. They add significantly to the overall value of the property, and make it a wonderful value. The entire package is offered for $799,000. |
