78 MCMURRAY STREET, Bracebridge (Macaulay)

Not everything about a home can be built - some things are earned. Set in Bracebridge's most established and historic neighborhood, this beautifully preserved century home offers the chance to own a piece of Muskoka's story. Built when Bracebridge was still a small logging town, homes like this were made to last. Celebrating its 100th birthday this year, the town's legacy lives on at 78 McMurray St. Inside, 1,800 square feet of living space offers a layout that feels both connected and comfortable, with 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms across two storeys. Original hardwood floors, detailed trim, and preserved architectural elements reflect the home's history, while thoughtful updates ensure everyday ease and comfort. The living room brings families together, where the soft glow of the gas fireplace invites you to connect and stay awhile. Exposed brick woven throughout adds warmth and character that can't be replicated. The kitchen blends old and new with a functional, open-concept design that flows into the dining area, ideal for hosting and everyday living. Upstairs, three well-sized bedrooms offer comfort and privacy, centered around an updated full bath. Step outside and you're part of a neighbourhood that's alive - tree-lined streets, families nearby, and a true connection to the town. Walk to the farmer's market, or dinner at the locally renowned Old Station Restaurant, then enjoy an evening stroll to the falls in the heart of Bracebridge. The property features a covered front porch, 1.5 car detached garage, and inviting outdoor spaces, including a back deck, hot tub, and perennial gardens. Cared for and updated where it counts, the home includes an updated furnace (2022), windows (2023), and thoughtful exterior improvements - a testament to the care put into the home. There are some things that can't just be remade. It's the warmth that greets you, and wraps its arms around you when you step through the front door. It's a feeling that's taken 100 years to create.
