Welcome to one of the most beautifully updated summer homes on the Saint Lawrence Seaway. You will enjoy front row almost personal views of the majestic ships and all marine watercraft that pass right by the property. Originally built in 1878 as a fishing camp, this home has evolved over the years with each owner adding their personal touch. The present owner purchased the cottage in 1968. A full renovation was undertaken in 2006 resulting in a comfortable, easily accessible summer home that blends historic charm with modern conveniences. Included in the restoration are Anderson windows and Pella doors that enhance light as well as being energy efficient. Hardwood flooring throughout. The kitchen has new appliances to include a Bosch dishwasher. To add more precious sunlight, there are skylights with integrated screens and blinds. The pocket doors and first floor layout are designed for handicapped accessibility. Ductless mini-split systems for air conditioning and heat. Modern lighting fixtures throughout. On the outside, a new composite deck leads directly to the river. Living on the river is all about the water, and the seller has made this waterfront gem as accessible as possible. The natural sandy bottom slip is ideal for launching canoes, watercraft, or just building a sand castle. This unique setting offers a well groomed point where you can fish for bass, perch or many other popular game fish. The extensive dock offers easy tie up for your favorite watercraft. The waterfront has a no current making for a great place to swim. In the evening, at the end of another rewarding day on the river, gather around the firepit to enjoy the glow of the fire and beautiful sunset over the river. What a way to finalize your fun filled day. What we offer here is not just another river cottage, but a thoughtfully crafted home that is truly special. You are cordially invited to view this unique river home and see for yourself all it has to offer.
