Description

Located on one of the most picturesque roads in Middlesex Centre, this contemporary-style brick bungalow offers nearly an acre of tranquil countryside living, complete with natural gas. Just 6 minutes from Mount Brydges & 7 minutes from Delaware, & close to the Longwoods Conservation Area, this home is perfectly positioned as a serene retreat. It offers breathtaking ravine views from the back, ideal for relaxing throughout all seasons.The property has seen numerous improvements over the years, enhancing both functionality and comfort. In 2019, a new roof was installed. The dining room now opens to the outdoors through a 12-foot sliding door, and the gazebo has been moved to the side of the deck to ensure a clear view of the ravine. The home features a central vacuum system with outlets on both floors and custom shelving added in the office, primary bedroom, and laundry room closets. Upgrades also include a 600-gallon capacity water storage system, additional shelving in the garage, and 120VAC power extended to the shed. Energy efficiency is prioritized with a tankless hot water heater and a solar thermal panel with a storage tank that provides preheated water. The layout has been optimized by relocating the washer and dryer, creating a food pantry/cold room in the basement, and installing ceramic floor tiles in the furnace/utility room. Other interior enhancements include removing the front closet to open up the entrance area, installing a handrail beside the fireplace, and splitting a shared closet between the front office and garage entrance. Aesthetic upgrades have not been overlooked, with the installation of a custom vanity in the bathroom, hardwood flooring in the primary bedroom, and under-cabinet lighting in the kitchen. The home also features extensive outdoor upgrades including numerous flower and vegetable gardens, a newly installed greenhouse, and various fruit trees, making it a haven for those with a green thumb.
