About the property

Did you know that there is a lake in Prince Edward County? And, I’m not talking about Lake Ontario. This two-bedroom, two-bathroom raised bungalow is located on Consecon Lake. The property is bisected by a one-lane road that separates the waterfront from the cottage. It has a large porch with room for outdoor dining and entertaining, and the backyard is a wide grassy area with a fire pit and a hot tub. Inside, you’ll find a bright, open-concept design, full of modern beachy charm. The main floor boasts high wood-panelled ceilings, a wood stove in the living room, and tall windows that let in an abundance of natural light. The finished basement is a bonus space that offers plenty of extra room for entertaining.
