Nearly 5 acres of country calm, just 45 minutes from the city. Tucked along a quiet stretch of Scugog Line 14, this bungalow feels like a retreat, with mornings spent walking past grazing cows and horses, breathing fresh country air and waving to friendly neighbours at the end of the lane.The land is the showpiece. Cross your own bridge to a private pond made for skating in winter and bird watching or meditation in summer. Beyond it, acres of woods invite hikes, exploring, or a camping spot of your own. Beautiful front gardens, an entry fence and a private circular drive for 10 cars set a welcoming tone.Inside, everyday living is all on one level, no stairs required. The living room and primary bedroom were thoughtfully designed around sweeping westward views of the pond, with huge picture windows, vaulted ceilings and exposed beams. A brick wood-burning fireplace anchors the living room, with hardwood flowing into the open dining room. For cozy nights, the family room offers a gas fireplace and built-in TV and opens to a sunroom overlooking the trees. A massive wrap-around deck overlooking the scenery and 4 walkouts. There are 3 spacious bedrooms above grade and one in the basement, including a primary with ensuite and walk-in closet. 3 baths, a large laundry room and a fully finished massive lower level with plenty of room to host family and guests.The detached, powered garage/shop suits hobbies, storage or work. Whether you're working on cars, storage for your boat/atvs, or could make an inspiring artist's studio.You're 15 minutes to downtown Port Perry or Uxbridge and 2 minutes to local coffee and produce. Nearby are The Trading Post, Lake Scugog, breweries, farmers' markets, festivals, antiquing, Foxbridge, Sunnybrae and Crestwood golf, Great Blue Heron Casino, and the Trans Canada Trail. It's room to breathe for families, downsizers and artists alike. (id:24093)
