Rare opportunity to own a piece of living history. This 1939 stone bungalow cherished by the same family for over 50 years is now ready for its next chapter. Perched above the road on a generous 1-acre lot directly across from Lake Gervais, this home offers sweeping lake views from multiple rooms without the cost of lakefront ownership. The classic limestone exterior, ornate ironwork entry gate, and mature oak canopy set the scene before you even step inside. Original hardwood floors, arched doorways, and a wood-burning fireplace reflect the craftsmanship of a bygone era. This home has been lovingly maintained and full of authentic character you simply can't replicate today. The main level flows from a sun-drenched living room with French door access to a sunroom overlooking the backyard, into a formal dining room with classic chandelier and picture window looking over the lake. The kitchen features abundant solid-oak cabinetry, stainless appliances, and a garden window that pulls the lush landscape indoors. Homestead and multi-generational potential abound. City-owned land behind the property provides a natural privacy buffer and a quiet, wooded backdrop. The expansive grounds, already graced with established stone retaining walls and garden beds, are primed for a kitchen garden, fruit orchard, raised beds, or whatever your homesteading vision calls for. The unfinished lower level offers serious square footage ready to become an in-law suite, guest quarters, or income-producing space. The tandem 2-car garage with extra storage (larger than it appears from the street) keeps vehicles, gear, and garden tools organized. Parks and walking trails are steps away, making this an ideal base for an active, nature-centered lifestyle. Whether you're searching for a lake-view home near Lake Gervais, a vintage stone cottage with land, a homestead property with garden space, or a multi-generational home with unfinished basement suite, this is it. A true one-of-a-kind property that simply does not come available often.
