Once in a while, there is a home that makes you feel something pretty special. Maybe it's the memorable stories of the past and the enjoyment it brought to so many. Or perhaps it's the future opportunity of what it can give back to you. Packing a punch is this incredibly adorable studio-size cottage, floating in Portage Bay since the 1940s and thoughtfully updated in 2012. Periwinkle proud, adjacent to the widest channel in the bay with a setting beyond expectations. Vaulted ceilings stretch above; new flooring settles at your feet. Natural gas for heating, cooking, and the outdoor BBQ hookup. One convenient parking space near the stairs. Generous 53 sq ft storage locker with three upper platforms — handy for swim gear, lake hobbies, or whatever floats your boat.
