About This Property

This property stands as one of Warkworth's original homes, preserving its cabin footprint while expanding over generations. It features three bedrooms and two bathrooms and has seen significant upgrades in the last 25 years under the current ownership. Key enhancements include a complete electrical overhaul and transforming the upper half-story into a full two-story structure. Other improvements include new windows and roofing ('16 and '24), an additional bathroom, a new deck, and the renovation of the family room featuring a cathedral ceiling with exposed beams. The above-grade floor plan spans 1,820 square feet and offers flexibility for positioning the primary bedroom. While the primary bedroom is currently on the second floor as part of a full-floor suite, a spacious main-floor bedroom can also serve this purpose. The second floor can be reconfigured to include a fourth bedroom, making the home ideal for various family arrangements, multi-generational living, or retirees. The open-concept kitchen, dining, and living area is centrally located, showcasing the original cabin footprint with exposed beams. An extension includes a family room bathed in natural light, original timber elements, and a grand cathedral ceiling, making it perfect for family gatherings. The dry, open basement provides ample storage space. The home is situated on a double lot in town, featuring a partially fenced rear yard for gardening and recreational areas. The property also extends to the crest of the hill. Warkworth offers a variety of establishments, including cafes, restaurants, galleries, artisan markets, and independent businesses. The friendly residents and scenic views enhance the area's appeal, located conveniently 20 minutes from Cobourg, 15 minutes from Brighton, and 10 minutes from Campbellford. Additionally, there's space for a new two-car garage in the large backyard - a project planned but never undertaken by the current owner.
