22 WATER STREET E, Rideau Lakes
Have you always dreamed of living on the water, but your budget can't get you there? Or maybe you have a vision of running a charming B&B or owning a lakefront vacation rental property? Now is your chance! Don't miss this exceptionally rare opportunity to experience waterfront living without the waterfront price tag in charming Portland village: perhaps one of Eastern Ontario's best kept secrets - centrally located an hour from Kingston & Ottawa. Nestled on a large, fenced lot and directly across from a waterfront heritage park, you'll enjoy unobstructed sunset views from the south shore of Big Rideau Lake. Life in this quiet & inclusive lakefront community feels unspoiled, but still buzzes with year-round activity & neighbourly camaraderie, boasting marinas, restaurants w/ live music, a trendy coffee shop, "Skate the Lake" every winter & other convenient amenities just steps away. Don't miss the newly-built community hall & library building right next door, home to markets, fitness classes & other vibrant community gatherings. Built in 1885, this 4-bed, 4-bath home stands proud as one of Portland's most historic properties, dating back to the Rideau's thriving steamboat cruise era. The home has been thoroughly & thoughtfully updated over the years, offering modern luxuries while maintaining irreplicable features like wide-planked original pine floors, soaring ceilings & intricate woodworking both inside & outside the home. With lush perennial gardens & extensive exterior updates - including new siding, windows & doors, roof, front porch w/ pergola & armourstone (2016/17) - this stately property is well-revered by residents. So, get ready to soak up summer in this exquisite & turnkey home in endearing Portland village: Dig your toes into the sandy public beach just a stone's throw from home; slip your kayak in the water at the dock across the street; picnic under the gazebo's shade as you watch the boats come into the bay at sunset.
