Extensively professionally landscaped both front and back plus a lovely full covered front porch, enhance the exterior. There are newer shingles and a long private drive for lots of parking. The double garage is a real added bonus!! Would make a great workshop or in home business area.

Escape the hustle and bustle after a long work day or entertain family and friends on weekends in your backyard oasis! Surrounded by mature perennials, shrubbery and trees, you will enjoy your oversized sundeck with Sunday bbq's or late night cocktails.

You can invite the entire family over anytime as there is lots of parking in the long driveway as well as plenty of street parking.

If you have always wanted a garage or a workshop ,this 2 car garage is perfect. It also would make a great in home business set up. Its very rare to find a lot wide enough to allow a garage of this size in Old South.

The owners have maintained the character and charm of this historical home as well as added all the needed updates buyers demand today.

The formal living room is the perfect spot to relax with friends and family. And your dining room will be the place everyone will want to be for Christmas dinner.

There is a wall of floor to ceiling cabinetry as well as lots of counter and cupboard space in this updated kitchen. The gourmet in the family will love spending time creating their favourite dishes.

The master bedroom was formerly 2 smaller bedrooms and now benefits from a double closet and room for your suite. The 2nd bedroom is now used as a den or office. Both rooms have huge sunny windows.

An addition has been added to the rear of the house with access to the sundeck. It was recently rebuilt by the present owners. This family room is a wonderful spot for TV nites or a quiet reading room. The rear wall has lots of windows with southern exposure, there is an attractive cathedral ceiling

The family bath was also gutted and rebuilt with all new fixtures and cabinetry. This area also houses the stackable washer and dryer.

The part basement is accessed through a trap door to a furnace and storage area.

The soaring ceilings, wide baseboards and trimwork all add to the character of this fabulous find.

The plumbing and wiring have both been updated and the furnace serviced this month.

Always sought after but rarely found this Ontario Side Entrance Cottage is a one of a kind purchase for those looking for a unique home, in a fabulous resale area, on a larger than average lot and with a huge bonus of a two car garage.
