42 Rose Street, Kawartha Lakes

Tucked at the end of a quiet dead-end lane, 42 Rose Street is the kind of place people dream about and rarely find. This charming, colourful 2-storey century home sits in an established waterfront community on Sturgeon Lake, where the streets are lined with historic cottages and the loudest sound you'll hear is birdsong drifting through the trees. Step inside and feel the warmth of a home that has stories to tell. With 3 bedrooms and 1 bath, the layout is cosy and full of character - the personality of a true century home with the comfort of a welcoming retreat. The sunporch is pure magic: a bright, glorious space to sip your morning coffee while the forest wakes up around you, or wind down in the evening glow. Outside, the private treed lot is your own personal sanctuary. A large bunkie offers flexible space for overflow guests, a creative studio, or a bunkhouse for the kids. The screened-in porch is the heart of lazy summer afternoons - cards, books, and cold drinks with nothing but the rustle of leaves for background noise. The backyard is deeply private, surrounded by mature trees that create a natural canopy of calm. Access to Sturgeon Lake, down a short path across the street, means swimming, paddling, and sunsets on the water are always within reach, without the waterfront taxes. The lane is predominantly cottages, giving the community an unhurried, old-Ontario character that is increasingly hard to find. Whether you're looking for a year-round home, a weekend cottage, or a family gathering place, 42 Rose Street delivers.
