Original Remarks

Set on an 84ft x 848ft waterfront lot, this beautifully maintained and updated 1925 farmhouse-style home offers a blend of privacy, quiet natural surroundings, and timeless character. Enjoy a private driveway and a peaceful country feel right here in the city. The home features a gorgeous custom kitchen from Timber Barn of St. Jacobs (2016), which includes: stone countertops, a 7-seat island w/ prep sink, a farmhouse sink that overlooks the yard/ river, stainless steel appliances, a panelled Miele dishwasher, a window bench seat, rough-sawn wood features, and polished brass faucets. A large dining area connects to a screened-in porch. Well-sized family room with large windows. The top floor features three bedrooms, one full bathroom, one half bathroom, and a bedroom-level laundry area. Finished basement with L-shaped rec. room, with large windows, a 4-piece bathroom, and a back mud room with a walk-out. The front of the home features a fenced-in area, ideal for pets and children. The property is very private from the road and features a long driveway with a double pad at the top near the road. The backyard goes to the Grand River. The entire lower part of the yard is cleared and usable for sports, planting, or animals - with southern exposure. It's tucked away with privacy from the street. Traffic and visibility up top for aspiring homesteaders/market gardeners. Mature pear, apple, apricot, walnut, and mulberry trees, rhubarb, strawberry, and abundant black raspberry canes. Many flowering trees and shrubs: magnolia, crab apple, catalpa trees, purple & white lilac bushes. Abundant deer and waterfowl linger in the meadow. Animals are permitted in the OS zone if desired. A stable could be erected to accommodate further animal husbandry- a permit would be required. Chance for an incredible lifestyle opportunity. 1.5 acres on the edge of town with waterfront access to the Grand River. Enjoy canoeing & fishing.Septic 2020,Windows/doors 2014-16,Driveway 2020, Basement 2017
