The location - right in town but with 0 traffic, on the water with river, bay and harbour views - is definitely unique.
It's a smartly designed little place that 'lives large' thanks to vaulted ceilings, clever use of space and a thoughtful layout (Eg. the master suite is very private, located off the kitchen and separated from the other 2 bedrooms and bath by the living/dining room).
While everything is brand new, the vintage original 1940's fisherman's cottage experience remains, with simple pleasures that change with the season:
the warmth of the fire, walking up the river bank to watch the salmon jumping up the fish ladder, the smell of fresh bread or cinnamon buns at Thornbury bakery, the crunch of an apple picked from a tree in the front yard, riding bikes from your door along the Georgian Trail to Collingwood or Meaford, jumping off the harbour pier with the kids in summer, a stroll up to the Mill, Bruce, Fabbrica (Mark McEwan restaurant) or the Dam Pub for dinner, the colourful sunset through the sailboat rigging, the calm of patient fishermen.
It's really a magical spot!
