This is an original frame farmhouse built around 1900 with large ash logs as floor joists and hand forged square nails used in the pine flooring. It has a gorgeous view of Georgian Bay and a beautiful 2.42 acre treed setting. Approximately half the property has gardens & landscaped grounds. The other half is hardwood bush with trails to explore. With 2,450 square feet finished space on two levels, 3 bedrooms, 1 1/2 bathrooms, and walk outs to 2 separate screened-in porches to enjoy the quiet countryside views. A practical 'eat-in' kitchen renovated in 2015 with granite countertops & using AEG and Miele appliances. There is a main floor laundry room and pantry. Plus a modern free standing wood stove with large glass door. The bathrooms were also updated in 2015. Hot water is supplied by on-demand heater installed in 2013 which also heats the house by means of heat exchanger and forced air. A new steel roof was installed in 2016. The electrical system was updated in 2015 with a new line in from the road, plus a panel installed for use with a generator. In 2012, the siding was removed and the house was completely insulated with silver-clad styrofoam. The current board and batten was renewed in 2016. New windows and doors installed in 2012. The foundations were repaired and re-parged in 2016. So although it's an original house, every vital element has been replaced and modernized. Outside, there is plenty of storage in a small barn with add-on additions for garden tools and firewood. A small greenhouse is ready for your gardening projects. The well has provided clean water with strong flow. A short walk north to the Tom Thompson Trail along a quiet road with cliffs of the Niagara Escarpment to the west. 9km west of Meaford and 20km east of Owen Sound. This is a calming weekend retreat or full time home. (id:44184)
