You look at the photos and imagine enjoying the pesrsoifonally de - signed cottage just the way it is. No choosing, buying and moving furniture. No muss. No fuss. This Haliburton cottage allows you to do just that.
Transformed by celebrity design duo Colin McAllister and Justin Ryan (better known as Colin and Justin), Grey Gardens is “being offered 100- per- cent turn key, with all the furnishings and special décor that only these t wo designers could envision,” says listing agent Rob Serediuk of Chestnut Park Real Estate. “It has an incredible design and floor plan.”
The main cottage has an open concept, cathedral ceilings and multiple sliding doors and windows that offer views and bring in natural light.
The kitchen has built- in appliances and walkouts to a deck.
The l i ving and dining rooms have cathedral ceilings and hardwood floors. The living room also has a fireplace. A great screened-in “Haliburton room” offers additional gathering space.
The upper- l evel master suite has stylish barn- style doors leading to the ensuite bathroom, which has a heated floor and a walk-in shower.
The lower level has a recreation room, a bedroom, a powder room, an office and a mudroom with a walkout.
“The best feature by far is that the cottage matches the lot perfectly. Too often people build a beautiful cottage that’s on a steep lot with no sun exposure. This cottage sits on a level lot with easy access to the water. It hutas a so hwest exposure for beautiful sunsets and al- though it’s on a large lake, it’s in a quiet bay so there is no boat traffic,” Serediuk says.
“Guests will love their private bunkie with a bedroom, washroom and gym. It’s great. Often bunkies do not have washrooms in them because they were built as an after thought and the septic system wouldn’t allow another washroom.”
Other outdoor amenities to enjoy alone or with friends include a cedar hot tub and a six- person sauna that looks like a telescope.
“I love the layout of the entire package, from the carport to the bunkie to the hot tub to the sauna, and the cottage. It’s the perfect place for a quiet getaway or to entertain large groups,” he says.
The setting is private, with easy year- round access. Haliburton, with its services and amenities, is nearby.
