49205 Blair Drive, Malahide, ON

Steeped in the rich legacy of Waneeta Beach, this charming 1947 bungalow at 49205 Blair Drive offers a rare opportunity to own a true piece of local history. Originally built as the summer residence and office of the Waneeta Beach enclave, this property has been cherished as a restful, tranquil retreat by the same family since the 1970s. The heart of this cozy two-bedroom cottage is its magnificent center fireplace and retaining walls, lovingly crafted using smooth, round rocks combed directly from the local beaches. Once a fire is lit, the massive stone structure absorbs and radiates heat throughout the space, creating an unparalleled sense of coziness that pairs perfectly with the rustic pine board-and-batten walls. As evening falls, the cottage is bathed in the soft, romantic glow of antique wrought-iron lanterns featuring playing card motifs, which were originally salvaged from an Irish pub. While Waneeta Lodge is full of nostalgic charm, including the original fastener-free pine picnic table, a log coffee table, it also features modern comforts like a mini-split heat pump to ensure cool, dry air on warm summer days and extra warmth when the seasons turn. Step outside onto your porch to take in panoramic, breathtaking sunsets over Lake Erie. The property offers deeded access to a sandy shoreline, inviting you to take the included canoe out onto the water for a peaceful morning. Whether you are fishing for yellow perch, watching the Baltimore Orioles return to the birch tree each spring, or simply soaking in the quiet, scenic atmosphere, Waneeta Lodge is more than just a waterfront cottage-it is a sanctuary waiting for its next generation of wonderful memories.
