This 3-bed, 3-bath house on Forks Road is all about space and flexibility. You're getting 4.4 acres of level, wooded land, with a 268-foot frontage that gives you serious privacy. Step inside and the first thing you notice is the updated kitchen and dining area, which flows right into the living room with a wood-burning stove, perfect for those cold Wainfleet winters. The main floor also has an office with its own entrance, so if you work from home or run a business, you can separate work from life. Upstairs, there are three good-sized bedrooms, including a primary with a walk-in closet and ensuite. Hardwood floors throughout, no carpet, which is a bonus. The basement is partially finished, so you've got a rec room, laundry, and utility space already there, but plenty of room to make it your own. Outside, there's a big deck off the back where you can watch the kids or dogs run around. Parking is a non-issue with a garage and space for 10 cars total, plus a mudroom to keep the mess contained. Built in 1991, the structure has a poured concrete foundation and brick/hardboard exterior, so it's solid. You'll have a cistern for water and a septic system, and it's heated with natural gas forced air, with central AC for the summer. The location is practical, too. You're 10 minutes from Port Colborne and Welland, and about 8.5 km to Seaway Mall for shopping. Schools are close by, with a bus stop right at the property. Taxes run around $8,400 a year, and the price at $1,149,500 sits below the nearby median of $1,199,000, so you're getting a bit of a value play for the acreage. If you need room to spread out, work from home, and still be near town, this one's worth a look.
