HOME ADDITIONS · STURGEON LAKE

Waterfront additions on Sturgeon Lake

Sturgeon Lake is one of the larger Kawartha Lakes, with Lindsay, Fenelon Falls and Bobcaygeon around its shores. Many waterfront lots have a bungalow facing the lake and room on the road side.

An attached garage with a guest suite above uses that space well. It adds parking and storage for boats and toys below, and a private guest room upstairs with a dormer window looking over the house to the water.

  • 01 / GARAGES

    Parking and storage on the road side.

  • 02 / GUEST SUITES

    Private rooms above the garage.

  • 03 / LAKE SIDE KEPT

    Views and yard left open.

  • 04 / CITY PERMITS

    Applications to the City of Kawartha Lakes.

Building on Sturgeon Lake

The City of Kawartha Lakes issues permits and sets shoreline and side setbacks. A suite above a garage needs fire separation and its own heating plan. Adding bedrooms can mean a septic upgrade. Sturgeon Lake is part of the Trent–Severn Waterway, and lots near wetlands may be regulated by Kawartha Conservation.

04 / IN FOCUSHOME ADDITIONS · STURGEON LAKE

Room for boats and toys

Waterfront owners often need more storage than parking. We size garage additions for a boat trailer, kayaks, a lawn tractor and winter gear, with wide doors and enough depth, so the garage actually holds what the lake life brings with it.

Frequently asked questions

Can't find your answer? Tell us about your project and ask us directly.

Can you build a guest suite above a new garage?
Yes. It needs fire separation from the garage, insulation and heating, all planned in the drawings and permit.
Why put the addition on the road side?
It keeps the lake side open for views and the yard, and usually avoids the shoreline setback.
Who issues permits on Sturgeon Lake?
The City of Kawartha Lakes, with Parks Canada for work in or near the water.
