23 Maple Drive

Original Remarks

Tucked at the end of a meandering driveway, this welcoming year-round bungalow-style cottage invites you to settle into a slower pace on Bay Lake, where time is measured in mornings on the dock and evenings by the fire. The heart of the home is a sunken living room anchored by a classic brick wood-burning fireplace, with expansive windows that draw in natural light and frame peaceful views across the yard to the water beyond. The spacious kitchen and separate dining area sit just off the living space, creating a natural gathering flow for everyday living, with a generous deck extending from both the kitchen and living room, an ideal spot for morning coffee or relaxed summer dinners outdoors. The main floor features three comfortable bedrooms and a 4-piece bathroom, with two of the waterside bedrooms offering their own private deck, perfect for a quiet start to the day or unwinding at sunset with the lake as your backdrop. The walkout lower level adds flexibility, along with a large storage and utility room to support the practical side of cottage life. Outdoors, the gently rolling yard leads down to 140 feet of southeast-facing shoreline and a large dock ready for swimming, boating, and long days spent on the lake. Closer to the cottage, a level area provides the perfect setting for a firepit, where stories are shared and memories are made well into the evening. A heated waterline from the lake supports comfortable year-round use, making this a place to enjoy in every season, whether it's summer days by the water or cozy winter weekends by the fire.
