Joy Lusher Real Estate Ltd is offering a “fantastic opportunity” for home buyers.

On the Top is a two-bedroom cottage off Knapton Hill, with views over the South Shore and Spittal Pond.

The Smith’s home, which sits at 9 Spanish Lane, benefits from the “privacy and protection” of surrounding woodland reserve.

It is on the market for $975,000.

“[On the Top is] a cottage with stunning views off of Knapton Hill, Smith’s,” said realtor Beth Gosling.

“At the top of a lane off Knapton Hill, this cottage enjoys spectacular views of the South Shore, Spittal Pond and over land. It is completely private.

“[Although] in need of substantial renovations, this property affords ample opportunity to expand and has an ideal place for a pool.”

The home has a “large” living room and an eat-in kitchen. A garage and laundry are on the lower level.

“Although On the Top sits on .227 of an acre, two-thirds of the property is surrounded by woodland reserve giving the property privacy and protection,” the realtor added.

“The cottage has two bedrooms, one large bathroom, a living room and a large kitchen/dining area. There is also a bonus finished room accessed through the internal garage, making it very easy to create a one-bedroom apartment.

“The property has had some upgrades of new windows, doors and split-system air-conditioners, along with upgraded wiring, but most will want to replace the kitchen and bathroom and also take advantage of the generous residential one zoning for more extensive renovations and enlargement of the cottage.”
