Cross Streets: Selwyn Road. ** Directions: Birch Island. Situated on 1.25 acres in the township of Selwyn, this 3 bedroom, 1.5 bathroom country home offers the kind of lifestyle that's getting harder and harder to find. Mornings starting with coffee on the wrap around porch, weekends spent tinkering in the shop or floating in the pool, and evenings winding down around the fire pit roasting marshmallows with your family. Inside you'll find hardwood floors throughout, vaulted ceilings in the living room, a cozy propane fireplace, a newly installed wood cook stove, and French doors that bring in tons of natural light and give the main floor a really open, airy feel. The kitchen has beautiful granite countertops and flows nicely into the living and dining areas, making it a great layout for everyday life and having people over. Heated floors in the mud room and main floor bathroom are a nice touch too, keeping things comfortable no matter the season.Step outside and you've got an above ground pool, hot tub and sandbox right off the living room, an 800sqft detached garage and workshop with tons of space for projects, storage or vehicles, and a backyard with a fire pit, chicken coop, and a few fruit trees (apple and pear). The front yard is loaded with lilacs, which makes spring here something really special.The location is hard to beat too. You're 10 minutes to Lakefield or Bridgenorth and 20 minutes to Peterborough, with a public boat launch to Chemong Lake right at the end of the road and a conservation area just around the corner. If you've been looking for a little more space, a little more peace, and a home that genuinely has it all, this is the house for you! (id:27476)
