1950 Canadohta Lake Cottage on Double Corner Lot — $139,900

The metal roof is five years old and matches the two storage sheds out back. That kind of consistency tells you something. Someone was paying attention, or at least paying for the right things.

The house is small, 900 square feet, two bedrooms, one bath, slab foundation. It was built in 1950 and it reads like a cottage because it is one. The living room has a wood-burning fireplace. That is the room's main feature and it earns its place in a lake house that presumably sees cold weekends in the shoulder seasons. From there you move into a dining area, a kitchen, and then a rear sunroom that adds some breathing room without adding to the official square footage. First-floor laundry sits in a utility room off the back.

The lot is the other thing worth understanding here. It is a double corner lot, which gives you more outdoor space than a standard cottage parcel and, if you ever wanted to expand the footprint, room to think about it. There is a partially fenced yard, a picnic table, and those two sheds for whatever lake gear accumulates over time.

Canadohta Lake is walking distance. The listing does not say how far, so you would want to walk it before you decide how much that matters to you. At 900 square feet, the appeal of this place leans hard on what is outside the house. If the lake access works, that changes the math considerably.

The appliances stay: stove, refrigerator, washer, dryer, small freezer. The agent description flags that some updating is needed, which is the polite way of saying the interior finishes have age on them. How much work you are looking at depends on your standards and what you find when you walk through. The bones are a slab, a new metal roof, and a straightforward layout. What is inside is yours to assess.

At $139,900 for a double lot with a fireplace and lake proximity, the price is doing some of the convincing for you.
