Inside the home
This 6.49-acre rural estate on McBay Rd carries a story that goes well beyond the house itself. The property has a pre-approved lot severance and zoning that permits two fully separate dwellings — which means buyers are really acquiring land with built-in options, not just a 1960s brick bungalow. The home itself is a study in contrasts. The primary en-suite has been renovated to a genuinely high standard — large-format tile, floating walnut vanity with stone sink, frameless glass tub enclosure. That bathroom would hold its own in a new build. The office space with its glass partition is also a clean, modern finish. Most of the rest of the home — parquet floors, kitchen with repainted cabinets, basement rec room with drop tile ceiling — sits in original or lightly refreshed 1960s-70s condition. The land is the real draw: a natural pond, rolling treed terrain, a winter skating rink, and roughly 1,000 feet of road frontage. The roof is 2016, septic is 2023, and the water systems are in place. Minutes to Hwy 403.
