Well sited and South facing on this beautiful 1.9-acre lot with 269' of frontage on Pickering Cove, this seasonal home is as beautiful and serene as they come!! Open floor plan with an L-cove sleeping area and an elevated loft for extra guests. The newer heat pump installed in 2022 provides sufficient heating and cooling as needed. The studio features vaulted ceilings with large skylights to let in the natural light, large pullout sleeper sofa and an electric space heater & AC to provide comfort for the occasional overnight guest. The waterfront has several areas from which to launch kayaks or other small boats and has a gorgeous sitting area with a bench just above the ledges.
