The North Bay Nugget
October 7, 2005
Located on Lake Camelot, this custom-built, two-story home has boat access to Trout Lake.
It has a one-acre city lot, professionally landscaped private yard and an in-ground sprinkler system. The large deck across the back of this brick and wood home is ideal for entertaining.
Enter through the bright foyer into the large formal living room with cathedral ceilings. The formal dining room is waiting to receive your guests. Enjoy the comfy main-floor family room with gas fireplace, steps from the modern kitchen. There’s also a convenient two-piece main-floor washroom.
A gardener’s dream comes true in the year-round sun room with hot tub.
A wide hallway on the second floor leads to three bedrooms. The 16-by-nine-foot master bedroom has a large walk-in closet. Also on the second floor is a five-piece bath.
The full finished basement has a walk-out, a guest bedroom and a four-piece bath. The L-shaped recreation room has built-in cabinets and a pool table.
The paved drive leads to an attached 20-by-22-foot double-car garage. Situated on a quiet cul-de-sac in desirable Birchaven, this week’s Home of the Week is listed with Coldwell Banker Peter Minogue Real Estate and is priced at $409,000.

- Try replacing blinds at front door with opaque glass
- For a fall look, try adding big urns filled with twigs or dogwood or a seasonal wreath on the door
