This raised bungalow sits on a 0.73-acre lot that's ready for hobby farming, with a fenced paddock, several outbuildings, and a greenhouse already in place. The standout here is the two-story shop/garage with a loft and 200-amp service, ideal for a home business or serious projects. Inside, you'll find 3 bedrooms and 1 bath over two levels. The kitchen has walkouts to both the front and back porches, and the lower level has a separate entrance, a rec room, and a bedroom with a wood-burning stove. Propane forced air heating and central AC keep things comfy, and the septic was replaced about 9 years ago. You're just 5-10 minutes from Alliston's amenities-Sobeys, Swiss Chalet, and Earl Rowe Provincial Park are all within a short drive. Price is $864,900, which aligns with the local median, but you're getting way more land and workshop space than typical listings here. The lot features rolling, wooded areas and armor stone landscaping that adds character. Windows are about 15 years old, but the well pump and plumbing have been updated. Parking is ample with room for 8 vehicles. This place is ideal if you want country living without sacrificing convenience to town.
