Lora Bay

Located on the shores of Georgian Bay, the Lora Bay community rests at the intersection of an all-season playground where residents and visitors can enjoy nearly limitless outdoor activities. Sitting on a ravine lot with access to the Georgian Trail system steps outside the door, this bungalow home creates the perfect opportunity for this retired couple of avid skiers and cyclists to live their best lives year-round.

As part of the amenities of their traditional Craftsman-style home, the homeowners built an oversized 2 car garage with plenty of storage for activity equipment. The garage and lower level of the home feature heated floors throughout. To offer a sense of scale and openness on the main level, the great room features 17-ft vaulted ceilings and a wood-burning fireplace with floor-to-ceiling stone.

A custom staircase and railings by Georgian Stair tie into the natural surroundings with oak stringers, treads and open risers. The large main floor laundry and pantry offers the convenience one would expect in a house of this quality. The cabinetry throughout the house was custom made by Southgate Cabinets, a well-known local supplier to custom builders in the Georgian Triangle area.
