Property Description
Welcome to peaceful country living on a private one acre lot, just 30 minutes from Sydney River. This well maintained bungalow offers the perfect combination of modern upgrades, functional living space, and future potential. The main level features a bright and inviting kitchen, a spacious living room, two comfortable bedrooms, and a third room currently being used as a laundry room. This room is already plumbed for the washer and dryer but can easily be converted back into a third bedroom if desired. Extensive recent upgrades provide peace of mind, including a new 200 amp electrical service (2025), new power pole (2025), new oil tank (2025), newer furnace (2019), new appliances and fresh paint throughout the interior and exterior. Simply move in and enjoy. The full, dry, unfinished basement offers endless possibilities. With access to downstairs already in place, the lower level could be developed into a self contained secondary suite (subject to municipal approvals), making it an excellent opportunity for extended family, guests, or potential rental income. Outside, you’ll appreciate the privacy of the one acre property with plenty of room for gardening, outdoor entertaining, or simply enjoying the peaceful surroundings. Two storage sheds provide ample space for tools, equipment, and recreational gear. Located only a short drive from Gabarus, you’ll have easy access to beautiful beaches, excellent fishing, scenic hiking trails, and ATV routes, making this property ideal for anyone who enjoys the outdoors while still being within commuting distance of Sydney River. Whether you’re searching for your first home, looking to downsize, or seeking a property with future income potential, this charming bungalow offers exceptional value and opportunity.
