Cross Streets: Manitoba Street/Douglas Drive. ** Directions: Manitoba Street to Douglas Drive. Property at the end on the right. S.O.P. Welcome to 132 Douglas Drive, a truly distinctive Muskoka retreat set among mature trees and beautifully landscaped gardens on 2+ acres, just minutes from downtown Bracebridge. This 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home is full of character and thoughtfully updated, combining timeless Muskoka charm with modern comfort and an impressive collection of outdoor spaces and amenities. The main level features warm wood finishes, exposed timber accents, a spacious kitchen with granite counters and a large island, and a welcoming living area anchored by a wood-burning fireplace. A wood insert in the lower-level fireplace, WETT certified in 2026, adds another layer of comfort and character, while the partially finished walkout lower level with a separate entrance offers real development potential for an in-law. Recent upgrades include a 2025 cold climate heat pump and 2025 Napoleon propane furnace. Outside, the property truly shines. Extensive granite landscaping, mature gardens, and established birch, maple, oak, pine and blue spruce create a private, picturesque setting. Two custom 10' x 10' studios, built in 2023, offer exceptional flexibility for guest accommodations, a home office, art studio or creative space. Additional features include two ShelterLogic structures, a dedicated wood storage shed, a 40-jet hot tub, and an enclosed fire pit surrounded by natural stone and Muskoka rock. A 9,500W Champion backup generator provides peace of mind, an EV charger rough-in at the garage, and a durable 50-year steel roof adds lasting value. The location is equally impressive, with the municipal walking path at the end of the road providing a scenic connection toward Wilson Falls and the Muskoka River. Bracebridge Sportsplex and Bracebridge & Muskoka Lakes Secondary School are approximately a 3-minute drive away, while downtown Bracebridge is only about 8 minutes from home. A rare opportunity to enjoy the privacy and character of a Muskoka property without giving up the convenience of town. (id:27476)
