Seldom
do we find such private 5 acre parcels with newly built country homes. A
winding driveway through the trees arrives at the house site which opens up
in a clearing and provides lots of sunlight and place to put in gardens,
pool, tennis courts, if desired. The sunset views are to the west and can be
appreciated from the family room and screened porch. There are groomed
trails through the trees, perfect to enjoy in all seasons whether on foot or
on skis or snowshoes. Situated on a lightly traveled gravel road, it is a
property that is rolling in nature and has a pond site at the front driveway
entrance area.
The home was built in 2006 (approximately 2,200 sq.
ft. on 2 levels, with livable basement area – over
3,000 sq. ft. plus) and is a reproduction of a century farmhouse seen in
Ontario rural landscapes. Board and Batten exterior with gothic window, peak
and gingerbread, it is simply charming. Great attention
and care have been placed on all the details
in keeping with the era –
white and red 8” pine plank floors, solid pine baseboards
and ledges, doors with their forged iron egg
handles, gothic and 4 pane windows emulating that
era. The interior colours are all heritage adding to the flavour of the
past. The beauty of this home is that it holds all the charm of the past
with the amenities of the present. Front covered porch and rear screened
porch are enjoyed in the summer and fall seasons.
Basement space is bright with 2 walkouts and has been designed with a
kitchenette, 4 piece bathroom, bedroom and living room area to invite a
separate in-law-suite set-up if desired. Just minutes
to downhill and cross-country ski clubs, this is
truly a gem. |
