Spend the weekend at this ultimate Scandinavian-style retreat, where a wood-burning hot tub bubbles beneath the stars, a cedar sauna invites you to unwind, and a peaceful 1-acre setting wraps you in trees with a gentle creek flowing nearby. Just under 10 minutes from Durham's shops, restaurants, grocery stores and community centre, with golf, ski hills, snowmobiling trails, a drive-in theatre and a casino all within reasonable driving distance, this location gives you room to breathe, with adventure and amenities nearby. The bold black A-frame exterior stands out with striking curb appeal and a spacious deck with glass railings overlooking the serene landscape and flowing creek. Vaulted ceilings, wide plank flooring and wood-accented walls frame the cozy living and dining space, where a crackling woodstove and sliding doors to the deck complete the vibe. The fully renovated kitchen features quartz countertops, open shelving, an undermount sink, modern white cabinetry and pot lights. A floating vanity, glass wall shower and forest-facing window give the bathroom a spa-like feel, while the main floor bedroom and a tranquil loft bedroom with treetop views offer just the right amount of space to relax. An efficient heat pump adds extra comfort. Beautifully finished, full of character and completely turn-key, this getaway is the kind of place that makes you slow down and stay a little longer.
