This 3-bed, 2-bath house sits on a 232 x 136 ft lot that's more than half an acre, with mature trees giving it that private, cottage-like feel. The stucco exterior is straightforward and low-maintenance, and you'll notice the house sits away from the road. Inside, the main floor opens up from the kitchen, which has an oversized island and two ovens. That kitchen is clearly the hub, with direct sightlines to the living room where big windows pull in natural light. Upstairs, you've got three bedrooms, including a primary suite, and a bathroom. Head down to the lower level and there's a walkout to the backyard, a gas fireplace in the family room, plus another living area, dining space, and a bathroom. The basement is where you'll find the laundry and utilities, and there's even a spare room down there that could work as an office or gym. Heated floors in the upstairs bathroom? Yes, that's a nice touch. The attached garage fits two cars, and there's room for more outside with parking for up to eight vehicles. You're near the Victoria Rail Trail for hiking or biking, and Highway 115 is a short hop for commuting. It's listed at $814,900, which lines up with the few other places nearby. This isn't a fancy flip, but it's solid, private, and has some useful upgrades without the suburban cookie-cutter vibe.
