About 1159 Maplehurst Drive

Idyllic. It captures the essence of this place perfectly. Set along 160' of beautifully landscaped Peninsula Lake shoreline w/ southeast exposure & access to Muskoka's coveted 4-Lake Chain, this lakeside residence captures what has drawn generations to Muskoka, & why they keep coming back. Set within a quiet cul-de-sac, the paved drive leads into landscaped grounds that impress from arrival to shoreline. Accessibility extends right to the dock, while irrigation to most flower & window baskets & high-quality exterior lighting keep the landscape polished & effortless to enjoy. Summer finds its rhythm at the shoreline: shallow sandy entry, deeper swimming, generous docking & expansive spaces to lounge, dine & gather. Add the dockside bunkie & outdoor shower, & summer days start early & end late. The 4-season residence is a masterclass in craftsmanship, quality & enduring design. Quarter-sawn white oak flooring. Handcrafted cedar, cherry & pine features are abundant throughout. Custom cabinetry, two fireplaces, high-end lighting - including beautiful brass accents - & carefully selected finishes create an unmistakable refinement. The standout may be the 4-season Muskoka Room-inspired space. Elevated among the trees, the lake fills the view in every season - settle into a chair & it may quickly become the hardest room to leave. For the discerning buyer, the quality continues. Eastern White Cedar & Azek exterior, Zuri decking, Carriage House shingles, automatic generator, smart lighting... the full specification list is remarkable! Four beds, incl. a primary retreat, 3 baths, w/o lower level & 2-car garage.Then the surprise - a 20' x 27' heated, insulated & plumbed workshop w/ views & its own garage door. Keep it exactly as intended, or imagine a studio, gym or creative outlet. Park the car.The lake can take it from here. Boat into town for dinner, shopping & everything in between, then follow the shoreline home. Years of memories have been made here. Yours are waiting! (id:6289)
