About Property

This home will amaze you. From the street you would never guess its size (1,717 sq ft) or the clever, imaginative ways that its space has been used. The original living room, for example, serves as a large eat-in kitchen with a large picture window looking onto an apple and ash tree. Note the bird houses there. A large pantry serves the kitchen. The main floor bathroom is at least twice the size of most bathrooms. A spacious hallway (or den) leads up the steps to a large great room which faces the back yard. Off the great room are the large principal bedroom (with ensuite powder room) and the second bedroom. At the very back of the home is a set of stairs leading to the basement, which is unspoiled but which contains a third bathroom (toilet, sink and shower) to start you off. With some drywall, this space could easily be transformed to an additional 600+ sq ft of finished living space. This is where to access the crawl space. Off the great room there is double glass door access to a large, 10' x 18' deck, beneath which is plenty of enclosed storage space for toys and tools. The deck is where to sit and view the back yard, which itself is a wonderland. It is fully enclosed, in case you have pets. It contains a row of crabapple trees at the back and lilac, poplar, cedar and staghorn sumacs, not to mention red currant and blueberry bushes. There is a garden, several raised beds (with fertilizer standing by) and a potting shed (or two) to grow the fruits and vegetables you may wish to preserve and store in your pantry. To the rear of the carport there is an ATV garage and workshop. The neighbourhood is deliciously quiet. The neighbours are excellent. It is easy walking distance to a park one direction and Minnehaha Bay (and its splash pad park) the other direction. The house stays cool in summer. The owners are downsizing and are willing to part with some of the antiques and furnishings they have accumulated. Come take a look and imagine what you can do.
