A true cottage in the woods. Custom built and offered for the very first time, this charming 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom bungalow sits on 11.85 acres of complete privacy, surrounded by mature forest, two ponds, and a peaceful stream. Filled with rustic charm, beautiful woodwork, custom masonry, and thoughtful details, this is a home with character that cannot be replicated. The open-concept kitchen and dining area creates a welcoming gathering space, with a walkout leading directly to the beautifully landscaped gardens. The cozy family room features vaulted ceilings, a gas fireplace, abundant windows, and peaceful views of the pond and surrounding property. The living room is equally inviting, with a striking stone-encased wood-burning fireplace and a warm blend of natural stone and wood. French doors from the adjoining sitting room open to the outdoors, with this versatile space ideal as a home office, guest room, or additional living area. A spacious laundry room, powder room, and full bathroom with separate tub and shower complete the interior. Outside, a charming brick pathway winds from the back door through the gardens toward a tranquil pond filled with water lilies, a second fountain pond, and a peaceful stream. Mature trees, gardens, and open green space create a beautiful setting to enjoy throughout the seasons. A detached triple garage and workshop, approximately 30' x 55', offers incredible flexibility for hobbies, projects, storage, or a home-based business, with additional rooms for office or gym use.  A separate shed provides further storage. A rare family property, built with care and lovingly maintained over the years. Just minutes from Crystal Beach, this is a truly special opportunity to own a private piece of the countryside and a home unlike any other. (id:60164)
