23 Ways to Automate Your Smart Home 🏠

Having a smart home is meant to make life easier and more efficient, and automation brings the enhancements to a new level.

Front porches instead of garage doors facing the street. Century homes with real character. Mature trees arching over a sidewalk people actually use.

Yes, this is real. Yes, it's Lindsay. And yes — people really do compare this street to a Hallmark movie, and they're not exaggerating.

📍65 Bond Street West, Lindsay
MLS: X13168588
List Price: $774,900

That's the thing about this address: it's not just a pretty street, it's a walkable life. Locally roasted coffee, a proper bakery, restaurants people drive in for, boutique shopping, and a farmers' market that fills the whole block, all within an easy stroll of your front porch.

It's also quiet in the way that matters — the kind of quiet that comes from a settled, safe, tight-knit neighbourhood where people know their neighbours' names and their kids walk to good schools nearby. No hunting for a "good area." You're already in it.

And here's the part that surprises people most: Lindsay sits under 90 minutes from the GTA — close enough for weekend visits from family and friends, or even a hybrid commute, but a world away from the pace of the city. All the small-city convenience, none of the small-city compromise.

65 Bond Street W is the home that lets you actually live that lifestyle — a beautifully kept century home with room to grow, on one of the most sought-after streets in all of Kawartha Lakes. Multigenerational living, a home office, a big family — this one flexes to fit.

This is what small-town Ontario is supposed to feel like — a porch, a good school a few blocks over, and a walk into town for everything else.

Balsam Lake doesn’t have one way in — it has several, and we happen to have four of them live right now.

973 North Bay Drive: A backsplit built for wet bathing suits on the line, coffee to the sound of loons, and campfire evenings watching the moon come up over the water. Year-round, three bedrooms, a dock that’s already waiting for you.

20 Camelot Place: A welcoming waterfront community, beachfront access, and a side-split designed for exactly the kind of gathering that turns into a tradition.

41 Duncombe Drive: 230 feet of pristine, sandy, wade-in shoreline on a quiet dead-end road — the kind of frontage that almost never comes up.

9 Fieldview Drive : A legacy property with a boathouse, marine rail, and unobstructed big-lake sunrises across 3,000+ sq ft. This is the one people buy for the next generation, not just this one.

Four very different budgets. Same lake, same loons, same reason people never want to leave.

We don't just sell this life. We live it.

As local realtors, we pride ourselves on hyper-local knowledge — waterfront, small towns, we know it because it's home. We also bring a network we've built ourselves: tradespeople, lawyers, accountants, lenders — people we know and trust, and we share that network with every buyer and seller. So when someone arrives here not knowing a soul, they already know the two people who matter most for their move: us.

And on our own downtime? A book, a coffee (or a glass of wine, depending on the hour), and a quiet spot on the shoreline watching the sunrise or just listening to the waves. That's the lifestyle we sell, because it's the one we chose.

Thinking about making the move? Send us a message — let's talk about what life in the Kawarthas could look like for you.

This Balsam Lake waterfront comes with a two bedroom guest suite with one kitchenette, and zero awkward “when are you leaving” conversations.

9 Fieldview Drive was built for a full house — six bedrooms in the main residence, plus a private two-bedroom suite with its own kitchenette for guests, in-laws, or the kids who technically moved out but want to spend weekends at the lake. Everyone gets their own corner of the lake without ever feeling far away.

Outside, it only gets better: a weed-free, rocky shoreline with deep water off the dock, a classic boathouse with marine railway ready for the boat, and an upper deck built for golden-hour drinks with the lake as your backdrop.

Balsam Lake has always been one of the Kawarthas’ best-kept open secrets — and the people who visit this one never really want to leave.

Now offered at $1,650,000.
