Expansive level green space provides room for play, or entertaining, while the rolling terrain leads down to the river's edge, where a dock offers the perfect spot to launch a kayak or relax by the water. Inside, the home offers an inviting & functional layout, beginning with a spacious foyer & leading into a warm living room, a well-appointed kitchen, & a formal dining room wrapped in windows with a walkout to the rear deck. Two generous bedrooms including the primary suite with a 4pc ensuite, ample closet space, & direct deck access, perfect for morning coffee. A 3pc guest bath serves the 2nd bedroom & main living areas. The sun-filled Muskoka Room is a standout feature, offering panoramic views. A flexible bonus space could easily serve as a home office, craft room, or gym. The oversized 2-car garage is accessed through a breezeway with inside entry. On the lower level, a large recreation room with a cozy wood stove awaits, along with a 4pc bathroom featuring laundry facilities, a den, plenty of storage space, & a handy cold room. Additional features include a forced air natural gas furnace, central air, a dug well for the home, river water irrigation system for the gardens, a septic system, & a Generac generator.
