Nestled away in the beautiful rolling countryside of western Waterloo Region sits this exceptionally charming original-owner family home on over eight acres of idyllic land. Private gardens, woodland, and ponds – yes, two ponds – all help to frame this lovely oasis located only 20 minutes driving time from the centre of Uptown Waterloo. Entry to the superbly lit primary level comes via an elevated tiered deck at the front of the home, with soaring ceilings making a strong first impression. Abundant skylights and open views from the elevated kitchen lend an immediate sense of space, while a sliding walk-out offers access back out to rural views from the deck. A well-proportioned dining room and a convenient powder room lie just off the main hall towards the rear of this level, with two bedrooms occupying the back of the home. The primary suite boasts plenty of storage in his and hers closets, as well as private access to an ensuite bath. Heading downstairs, you’ll appreciate the flexibility of this home demonstrated in two additional bedrooms, a spacious laundry/utility area, abundant storage in the unfinished mechanical room, and another two separate access points in this walkout basement – one via the utility room, and another via sliders in the finished rec room. A deep cold cellar rounds out the residence. Outside, the grounds stand ready to offer their new owner what is, in effect, a private rural parkland. Take your time to explore the gardens, both ponds (one of which is stocked with trout), and the massive fully-wired barn with its workshop, propane heating, and figurative acres of room for the sportsperson or hobbyist. While you’re here, venture a little further north and you’ll find a secluded cabin set above a lake – an ideal spot for reading, painting, or just napping away an afternoon. A private gravel drive means you won’t ever have to worry about guest parking, so go ahead and invite the entire extended family over for a BBQ this summer!
