Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 2008
Hello, I live in Toronto with my husband, Tom and our dog, Teddy. I work from my home office for a large US company; Tom is general manager of the community orchestra in which we play.
Why the Owner Chose Collingwood
We've had a log house outside Thornbury for 15 years and have seen the area gradually be 'discovered' by developers, because it offers so much as a year-round recreational area and is a popular active retirement choice.
We snapped up this little cottage because its location is PERFECT: in town, on the water. Being an original 1940's cottage on pricey waterfront, its probable fate was to be a tear-down, but I wanted to save this little gem ...
so instead, we spent $40K to update it - while respecting its nostalgic, cottage charm - so others can enjoy the area as much as we do.
Everyone loves the place - see for yourself: I took lots pics of the cottage and what you'll find within a 5 min. walk (the river, yacht harbour, parks, beaches, shops and pubs in town, etc.) Take a look! *** Click "LINKS TO MORE INFORMATION" in green type, just above this "Owners Profile" section ***
The Unique Benefits of this Cottage / House
You can park the car and walk / bike to EVERYthing in 5 min. OR just enjoy the cottage itself - watch the boats, the fishermen, the logs on the fire.
Small town village life and year-round outdoor activities are literally at your doorstep, yet you're also minutes from amenities that vacationing urban-types "need" :)
Ski, bike, hike, golf, board, fish, sail ... get cinnamon buns or butter tarts at the Thornbury bakery ..... OR ... enjoy martinis and tapas, stroll the boutique shops and dine at an upscale restaurant in the Village at Blue.
ps. One nice feature is that, even though it's small, we ensured the master was secluded. It's on the kitchen side of the cottage away from the other 2 bedrooms and bath, so the 'master' can make coffee in the morning or a cocktail in the evening and enjoy it in privacy.
... AND oh did I mention? You'll have the cutest waterfront, in-town property :)
