This sprawling rancher style bungalow with over 3000 sq ft above ground and 19.89 acres – half cleared, half wooded offers endless opportunities to an owner looking for a castle and retreat away from it all but still within minutes of schools, amenities and the city. The grand formal foyer entrance welcomes you with a unique stone floor, a well situated front office and a guest bathroom. Natural light beams through the south facing windows and offers a naturally bright home throughout. A step down off the grand foyer entrance is an elegant formal sunken living area with bay window and a large white brick wood burning/gas log fireplace with a three tiered mantle. With vast views across the south facing property is an adjoining formal dining room. A country kitchen overlooks the beautiful grounds from the picture window over the sink. With maple cabinets, functional space and pantry storage, the kitchen area is warm and inviting and connects to the lovely breakfast nook overlooking the wooded backyard. The views continue through the large family area with a second wood burning gas log brick fireplace. A large guest bedroom, full bathroom with walk-in shower, laundry and mudroom area with access to the triple garage are all located on this end of the home. The three other bedrooms and bathrooms are in a separate, private wing of their own. Two good sized bedrooms are found in this wing, with a well situated main bathroom and walk-in shower found between the two. All of the bedrooms look onto the wooded backyard with the oversized primary bedroom having access to the outdoors with a sliding door. This room alone offers over 500 sqft living space that allows for separate living spaces within the room or for reconfiguring a walk-in closet and the ensuite bath – which currently offers his and her sinks and a soaker tub. The lower level is untouched with several non-egress windows, a bathroom rough in and well situated furnace area (2 furnaces) as a blank slate only limited by imagination. Outside, the opportunities continue with a natural playground already in place. A fully fence dog run area is steps from the east back entrance and several cleared and wooded areas abound throughout the property. Just off Highway 2 but its unique location seems miles away. This type of opportunity so close to town with so many options to live, enjoy, renovate, develop, and divide now or later does not arise often. Come explore it now!
