A convenient 2-piece bathroom completes this level.Upstairs, the primary bedroom is a peaceful retreat with vaulted ceilings, exposed wood beams and a private balcony overlooking the lake and mature treetops. Two additional well-sized bedrooms and a recently updated 4-piece bathroom complete the upper level.The lower level is fully above grade on the lake-facing side, bringing in abundant natural light and providing direct exterior access. It includes a bright fourth bedroom with an egress window and lake-facing outlook, along with a beautifully finished 3-piece bathroom featuring a large glass shower and modern tile-an inviting and private space for family or overnight guests.Outside, two generous decks and a welcoming firepit area provide plenty of room to gather, dine or relax among the trees. At the water, a rocky shoreline gives way to a shallow sand-and-mud lakebed suitable for wading, while the dock provides easy access for swimming, fishing, kayaking and canoeing. With approximately 1,926 sq. ft. of finished living space, substantial acreage and extensive waterfront, this is a rare opportunity to enjoy the best of Bennett Lake within easy reach of both Perth and Ottawa.
