Project Overview
Nestled on the serene shores of Kashagawigamog Lake, this stunning 1,125 sq. ft. cottage is a masterful fusion of traditional cottage architecture and sophisticated contemporary design. Built for year-round enjoyment, this 4-season retreat exemplifies lakeside living at its finest.
Key Features and Layout
The cottage offers a thoughtfully designed living space, comprising three well-appointed bedrooms and two modern bathrooms. The layout maximizes both comfort and functionality, featuring a formal dining room perfect for entertaining and a spacious mud/laundry room for practical utility. A major highlight is the walk-out basement, which significantly expands the usable area, leading directly into a bespoke, ground-level home bar—the perfect spot for evening relaxation and lake-side hospitality.
Exterior Aesthetics
The exterior boasts a striking and elegant appearance. The design incorporates dark, high-performance fiberglass windows and doors, providing a sharp, modern contrast. Complementing this is a custom wood siding profile specifically milled to resemble a refined reverse board and batten look, lending a texture and classic cottage charm while maintaining a clean, contemporary line.
Interior Design and Finishes
The interior continues the successful theme of blending rustic warmth with modern flair. The heart of the home, the custom cabinetry in both the kitchen and laundry room, introduces intentional ‘pops of colour,’ injecting personality and vibrancy into the spaces. For year-round comfort and atmosphere, a contemporary Stûv wood stove serves as a focal point, merging efficient heating with sleek design.
Throughout the main living areas, the ceiling features stained, pre-finished wood, adding depth and a natural, cozy feel. The flooring is crafted from durable, reclaimed hickory, chosen for its character and hard-wearing nature.
Historical Nods and Character
A truly unique element of the design is found in the home bar. This space pays homage to the property’s history by featuring reclaimed cedar wall boards salvaged directly from the original cottage that once stood on the site. This intentional use of salvaged materials creates a powerful connection to the past, infusing the new structure with authentic heritage and irreplaceable character.
