CHARACTER, SPACE & UNIQUE APPEAL! This distinctive 1 1/2 storey home offers a wonderful blend of original charm, thoughtful additions and versatile living space. The original home dates back to 1880, with an addition completed in 1988 and a lower-level addition with attached garage/workshop, creating a home with plenty of room to live, work and enjoy. The exterior immediately stands out with board-and-batten siding, a metal roof and mature landscaping. Inside, original character is complemented by an inviting open-concept kitchen and dining area featuring warm wood floors. The main-floor living room is bright and welcoming, with skylights bringing in an abundance of natural light. Upstairs are three modest bedrooms, including one with its own 3-piece ensuite bath. Unique to the home, upper-level decks provide access from both the front and rear, offering elevated views and additional outdoor living space. The lower level provides even more flexibility with a spacious family room featuring a gas fireplace, 2-piece bath and den. Patio doors lead directly into the attached lower-level workshop/garage, offering excellent space for a hobbyist, home business, storage or additional workspace. Outside, the property truly shines. A large back deck is conveniently accessed from the kitchen and overlooks the spacious, treed and landscaped yard. A retaining wall creates a lovely sitting area, while a mature willow adds character and shade. The property backs onto open park-like space, providing a pleasant sense of privacy and an extended backdrop. A large concrete driveway offers ample parking, complemented by the detached two-car garage built in 2016. Natural gas heating and an on-demand hot water system add to the home's practicality. With its combination of historic character, multiple additions, generous outdoor space, extensive parking and garage/workshop options, this is a property that offers something genuinely different from the ordinary.
