Watch the birds from the windows over morning coffee, any season, in a great room built for gathering-cathedral ceiling, a wood-burning fireplace, and an efficient 2025 wood stove (WETT inspected) in an open-concept space with room for the biggest harvest table your extended family can fill. Sliding doors lead out to a deck overlooking the water. At the kitchen sink, the view shifts across the road to grazing cows in the neighbouring pasture-even the chores come with a view. This 3-bedroom, 2-full bathroom bungalow sits on a 1.72-acre lot with over 200 feet of level, swimmable waterfront on Lake Ontario and a sheltered harbour for a boat. The primary bedroom has a walk-in closet, 3-piece ensuite, and its own walkout to the deck and private hot tub-the perfect way to end the day with the lake in view. Beyond the main living space, this property is built for people who need room to work: a 527 sq ft heated workshop, a 1,654 sq ft detached garage with 240 sq ft of upper storage, plus a garden shed. The unfinished basement adds close to 1,200 sq ft of storage or future rec room potential. Recent updates include a propane furnace (2019), refinished wood floors, new sliding doors, and a new bathtub (all 2025), plus a separate electrical panel wired for a generator. Outside, perennial gardens, a vegetable garden, and an established asparagus patch round out the grounds. Set a 15 minutes ferry ride from Millhaven, Amherst Island offers a close-knit community and a quiet pace of life, with Kingston's west end just 15 minutes down the road. (id:41986)
