About This Property

This a very private acre of property on the rural side of West Montroses historic covered bridge. Surrounded by towering mature trees and wooded hill embracing the back and side of the house, the neighbours are there but barely. This custom all-brick BUNGALOW has a large front and side yard, plus a back yard with two outbuildings. A lovely pond with waterfall feature contains goldfish/koi and also attracts an abundance of wildlife. Outbuildings include a garden shed, and rustic Bunkie with doors opening to a view of the pond and huge windows so guests can awaken to natures splendor. Hand-scraped hardwood floors throughout the main level, plus three plush carpeted bedrooms and tiled bathroom. Custom wood panel ceiling in the living room, and professional decorative plaster ceilings in most other rooms. The extra-large windows in the living room and dining room give ample natural light and amazing views of the property. There is a full basement with finished rec room featuring laminate floors and gas fireplace. The rest of the basement is fully drywalled with high ceilings, and has a walk-up SEPARATE ENTRANCE to the garage for IN-LAW SUITE potential. New flex pipe has been run throughout the house. Water systems include iron filter, softener, and on-demand water heater. Heating & cooling by geothermal system, with an electric back-up furnace and HRV air exchanger. Added peace of mind from a wood fireplace with insert in living room. There is also a huge double-wide garage with a natural gas heater, plus plenty of lights and hydro outlets. Outside the garage is a two-vehicle carport and an enclosed hot tub area.
