If you're someone who is the ultimate beach bum, this might be the place for you. This Ontario beach home for sale is sitting right near the shores of Lake Erie. The best part is, this home is only going for $278,000. 

31 Melville Lane, located in Selkirk, Ontario, is a three-bedroom and one-bathroom cottage that offers warmth, comfort, and lakeside views at a surprisingly affordable price.

The quaint home’s exterior might not provide an initial wow-factor, but what it lacks in aesthetic, it makes up for with its view.

Late-night drinks with friends and family will be made easy with the adorable backyard gazebo.

The cute patio area looks ideal for drinking beers or wine and chatting before heading down to the water for a dip.
