Welcome to this cherished century home in the heart of Hillside in Lake of Bays, Muskoka, a property steeped in history and community charm. Built as the original manse for the Hillside community church, founded by Rev. Hill, this home has been beloved within the community for generations and carries a warm, welcoming spirit that makes it truly special. This enchanting residence is brimming with timeless character, where every corner whispers stories of the past. Set beneath a canopy of towering maples and graced with an oversized wraparound porch, and peekaboo views of Peninsula Lake, this three-bedroom, two-bath home feels like something out of a Tricia Romance painting. The kind of place where mornings begin with coffee on the porch and evenings are spent surrounded by the peaceful glow of the trees. Inside, you'll find the warmth and charm of original detailing blended seamlessly with the comfort of modern living, creating a space that feels as welcoming as it is beautiful. Outside, the grounds offer privacy where you can unwind and enjoy the outdoors, and the property backs onto over 100 acres of conservation area, providing a natural backdrop and endless views of greenery. A detached double-car garage features a loft above for guests, while the charming studio opens the door to endless possibilities: a cozy retreat, a hobby space, or your next painting nook.Nestled in picturesque Lake of Bays, this century home offers not just a place to live, but a lifestyle, an opportunity to embrace the beauty of nature and fall in love with a home that becomes part of your story.
