This custom-built bungalow sits on a quiet dead-end street in Seaforth, just a short walk from the bakery and garden centre. The main floor has an open layout with vaulted ceilings and big windows that let in southern light all day. You get 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom up here, plus laundry and a bath with a pebble stone shower and clawfoot tub. The attached garage leads to an unfinished basement with two framed bedrooms and a roughed-in bath, so you can easily add space. Outside, the backyard is a nature lover's dream. There's a deck that overlooks a sunken, wooded garden with armour stone and flagstone from 2022. A hobby room vents outside, perfect for messy projects. The house was built with passive solar in mind, and an EV charger was added in 2025. You're about 10 minutes from Hullett Conservation Area and 30 from Lake Huron or Stratford. With a 57' by 150' lot and 5 parking spots, there's room to grow. Priced at $599,900, it's a solid value for the area.
