The views steal the show perched high above the rolling countryside, offering a perspective you won't find twice. Set on 12.25 acres just 15 min north of Belleville, this 5 bed, 3 bath home has over 3,350 sqft of living space; with a walk-up basement it is perfectly suited for multi-generational living. Strategically positioned between Toronto and Ottawa, this is more than a home-it's a vantage point. On a clear day, the elevated northwesterly views stretch as far as the Marmora Mine, offering sunsets that must be experienced in person to be believed. A tree lined paved laneway leads to the home perched proudly atop the hill. Exceptional curb appeal is highlighted by a blend of stone and T&G wood siding, armour stone borders, mature perennial gardens, and composite decking. The attached heated two car garage offers interior access to the mudroom and separate stairs to the basement. A detached 14' x 24' garage with concrete floor provides excellent space for toys or workshop. Inside, exposed beams, soaring cathedral ceilings, and rich cherry hardwood floors create warmth and character. The living room showcases a dramatic wall of windows framing some of the best views in Hastings County, complemented by a wood burning stove set against locally sourced stone. The spacious kitchen with island and abundant storage flows into the dining area with walkout to the rear deck. Two bedrooms, a 4-piece bath, and a mudroom with laundry complete the main floor. Upstairs, the loft style primary retreat spans the entire level, featuring a walk-in closet, 4-piece ensuite, and private deck. The walk-up basement offers two additional bedrooms, a 3-piece bath, and two expansive rec-rooms. A versatile boiler system supports in floor basement heating, forced air throughout, garage heat, and the option to extend to the detached shop. The acreage offers a blend of open clearings, a pond tucked into the hardwood bush, mature towering pines perfect for trails or harvesting your own firewood. (id:24093)
