RUSTIC CHARM MEETS UNIQUE ARCHITECTURE: Step into a home where rustic charm inspires. The open-concept design is anchored by a magnificent floor-to-ceiling brick fireplace, creating a warm, cohesive aesthetic. On one side, the 13-foot vaulted living room ceiling provides a cozy space to enjoy the crackling warmth of a wood-burning fire. On the other, the masonry transitions into a stunning brick cooking alcove in the kitchen, connecting the home's various spaces seamlessly from your morning coffee to evening relaxation. This unique home is meticulously maintained and offers a well-thought-out layout, including a dining room, a very large den, and an all-season sunroom. It features two bedrooms and two full baths. The primary bedroom quarters are nicely separated for privacy and include a separate entrance, offering the potential for a home business or an income-generating rental space. Recent upgrades enhance the home's value, including new vinyl plank flooring throughout, new insulation in the crawl space, and a deicer installed on the North side of the roof. The 24.5’ X 14” rear deck is perfect for entertaining, featuring ample space for a large BBQ and gathering, along with a relaxing sauna. Included in the price are two massive sheds (16’x12’ and 8’x18’), currently used as a shop and for additional storage and a log splitter. For the outdoor enthusiast, this is a dream come true. With 40 km of groomed trails, camping, fishing, hiking, mountain biking, and cross-country skiing literally on your doorstep, adventure awaits. The property is within walking distance of two rivers and the confluence of the Waiparous Creek and Ghost River.
