There are houses, and then there are homes that tell a story. This idyllic country farmhouse, set on 33.6 acres, feels like the kind of place where life moves just a little slower. Thoughtfully updated while preserving its rich history, this one-of-a-kind retreat is brimming with character, from the hand-carved accents and stained glass doors to impeccably refinished original wide-plank floors. The open living space is warm and inviting, with exposed beams, a cozy wood stove, and a stunning bridge connecting the second-floor living spaces. A sun-soaked kitchen practically begs for slow Sunday mornings. Exposed brick, butcher block countertops, a ceramic-coated cast iron sink, and stainless steel appliances, including a natural gas stove, combine charm and function. The breakfast bar is perfect for lingering over pancakes, while the walkout leads to a patio designed for effortless summer entertaining, complete with a natural gas hook-up for the grill. The family room is rich with character, boasting deep natural wood trim and a play area. A main-floor laundry and guest bath add convenience to this thoughtfully designed space. Upstairs, three beautifully appointed bedrooms bring all the warmth and whimsy of a timeless countryside retreat. The primary suite accessed by the picturesque skywalk feels like a private escape, while the second-floor hallway, lined with built-in shelving and wall-to-wall windows, offers sweeping panoramic views. The bathroom, with its classic black-and-white tile, is nothing short of charming, and an intimate office space with vaulted ceilings and exposed brick is the perfect place for creativity to thrive. Outside, a gazebo and porch offer peaceful spots to savour the stillness of the countryside. The pond is an idyllic setting for evenings spent around the fire pit. For those drawn to country life, the chicken coop, and open fields present endless opportunities to cultivate and create. Situated only 4 minutes to the 401 for easy commuting.
