This one-owner vintage home, nestled amongst mature trees on a third acre lot overlooks farmland and river valley with city views beyond. This was a purpose-built, 1950's dream home, built with European craftsmanship and influences, and has solidly withstood the test of time. In some respects, time has stood still as evidenced by the retro bathroom, gleaming in all its glory as if installed yesterday. Fondness of wood and beautiful glass block detail is evident throughout. Bathed in natural light and surrounded by idyllic views, the sunroom beckons as your place of tranquility. A few steps from the sunroom hot tub and suddenly you're in your own private backyard oasis. With two spacious bedrooms on the main level, a third of similar proportions could be optional on the lower level with slight modification. Bonus Features: The oversized 2-car garage with ample room for autos, toys, workshop and 'utility area'; The natural 'ramp' leading past the house to a double gate and your lush, enclosed yard surrounded by mature trees; The workshop/storage shed on concrete pad tucked in the back corner, featuring overhead door and hydro, perhaps your Studio-in-waiting; The oversized 'patio' areas - one upper offering overview of distant field and forest and the occasional deer, and the other a beautiful sculpted patio beyond the walk-out from the living room which may become your favoured outdoor space. And, for those who value privacy, with the exception of one "next door neighbour", this property is surrounded by farmland. There is currently ongoing road work. .. Curbs are being installed, a turning lane added, as well as asphalt paths on either side of the road to safely bike or hike down the hill. Work should be complete and dust settled in the very near future. An uncommon property with numerous features which seem to be in short supply when you find yourself looking for them.

ATTENTION, Artisans, Tradespeople and Tinkerers!!! This is a rare offering featuring a 16'5 x 12'5 Workshop/Studio with 220 Volt Service and the 31'9 x 21' attached garage/workshop with oil change pit may be of particular interest to YOU! Triple wide drive at the house, with turn-around pad and a natural ramp leading past the house to access the gated yard and the Workshop/Studio beyond. This home was purpose built by a tradesperson, for a tradesperson. Set back from the road on a generous wooded country lot, the last in a row of homes as you enter Guelph-Eramosa Twp and bordered by farmland, privacy abounds! It's a beautiful view from your front terrace, looking down over farmland and woods to the backdrop of the City beyond. Storm sewers are newly installed, and before the dust settles, there will be a turning lane and asphalt pathways down the hill connecting to the City. If you have an affinity for Vintage, you'll fall in love with this place. The center living room overlooks both the distant farmland and your terrace in the lush backyard oasis surrounded by mature trees. What may be taken as paneled walls is in fact precision placed square wood 'tiles' in the living room. The dining room features built-in sideboard and beautiful suspended 'display case'. A newer functional kitchen has some surprises too, and features a small built-in desktop and breakfast bar for two. Natural light floods the sunroom. Framed by oversized windows, multiple skylights and featuring a 2-person hot tub, this is the place to greet the morning or wind down at end of day. The lower level tops up finished living space to 2,000 sq ft. A generous office/workroom with built-in work surface, spacious laundry/storage room, family room and a second WOW bathroom on this level, as well as inner door to that oversized garage. 200 amp service, new A/C, furnace newer, water tested and septic & well equipment inspected last year.
