A-frames this good don’t come up often. Welcome to 68 Parker Island, an iconic A-frame retreat on one of Lion’s Head’s most sought-after year-round roads, with the entire home facing the water and Lake Huron’s legendary sunsets. Life here moves at lake speed: mornings paddling the calm waters of Myles Bay, afternoons swimming, canoeing or boating right off the front lawn, and evenings watching the sky turn gold, pink and fire-orange from your own shoreline. Inside, the great room makes an instant impression with soaring ceilings, a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace with wood insert, and expansive windows framing the lake from every angle. The open-concept kitchen, dining and living areas flow together, with multiple walkouts to the decks for easy indoor-outdoor living, morning coffee and long summer dinners. Four bedrooms include two on the main floor and two loft bedrooms with charming elevated views of the water, perfect for kids, grandkids and guests. The primary is a true retreat with its own propane fireplace and private sliding doors to the outdoors, made for slow mornings and sunset evenings. Thoughtful updates blend vintage character with modern peace of mind, including septic (2016), roof and vinyl siding (2017), upgraded electrical and sub-panel, flooring, improved insulation, newer decks, and several new windows and doors. Set among mature trees on a private year-round road, Parker Island is a wonderful waterfront community with excellent mooring and exceptional swimming. Black Creek Provincial Park is minutes away, and the village of Lion’s Head, with its shops, cafes, marina, Bruce Trail access and the famous Lion’s Head Lookout, is a short drive. Summers on the water, fall on the trails, winters by the fire, and a front-row seat to the sunset every single night. Whether it becomes your family summer base or your year-round escape, this is the kind of place memories are made. This is Parker Island living at its best. (id:60164)
