217 B East Mill Street, Centre Wellington

Some homes whisper comfort. This one sings it - set quietly along the Grand River, where the view outside your window shifts with the seasons and the charm of downtown Elora is just a short stroll away. Built in 2019 by Wrighthaven Homes, this former model bungalow blends modern elegance, thoughtful upgrades, and a connection to nature that's hard to find. Inside, over 1,800 sq. ft. on the main floor is bathed in natural light, thanks to soaring ceilings and wall-to-wall windows that frame the river and forest beyond. The open living and dining area is shown staged to highlight the expansive picture windows and sliding glass doors that lead to the deck, and a modern glass-and-metal stair railing adds a contemporary touch to the sightlines. The floorplan showcases an exceptionally intelligent layout, with a mudroom, laundry room, and a smart walk-through closet off the front entry - designed for seamless living and everyday ease. At the heart of the home is a high-end chef's kitchen, complete with premium appliances, upgraded cabinetry, and generous counter space that makes cooking feel like a craft. The kitchen also features a striking black-and-white patterned tile backsplash and a stainless steel range hood and range that create a focal point behind the cooktop. The main floor offers two bedrooms and two bathrooms, including a primary suite that feels like a personal sanctuary. Vaulted shiplap ceilings add warmth and character, while two walk-in closets and a spa-inspired ensuite with a stand-alone soaker tub and glass shower elevate the experience. Downstairs, the walkout basement adds two more bedrooms, a full bath, and a spacious rec room with a wet bar - perfect for hosting or unwinding. The finished wet bar is fitted with rich dark cabinetry, under-counter lighting and shelving, and a compact under-counter beverage fridge, providing a polished entertaining zone. Custom blinds on the main floor (with remote-controlled options in the living and dining rooms) add comfort and style. Outside, a two-level deck with white railings and stairs leads down to a paved stone patio where the hot tub sits, and a separate fire pit area creates layered outdoor living. A pergola/arbour and stone pathway step down through the landscaped yard toward the river, and a handy shed provides extra storage. The EV charger, high-efficiency furnace, and newer water softener reflect the home's energy-conscious design. This is more than a home - it's a story waiting to be lived. And in Elora, stories like this don't come around often. (id:1945)
