Freshly built four-bed, two-bath backsplit on a 45 by 108 foot lot in Ridgecrest. The main floor has the living room, dining area, kitchen with granite counters, and laundry that includes a wash tub. Big windows let in lots of light. Hardwood stairs lead up to three bedrooms, including a primary with room for a king bed. The lower level adds a fourth bedroom, another bath, and a family room with patio doors to the yard. There's a heated crawl space for storage. Outside, you get a concrete driveway, attached single garage, and a sodded yard. Stone and vinyl siding keep maintenance low. It's a 10-minute drive to the bay, with Swiss Chalet and Heritage Place mall each about a kilometer away. Owen Sound Collegiate is about 2.2 km. Priced at $779,900, it's well above the nearby median of $549,900, but the build quality and new systems justify some of that. Taxes sit at just $1,603 annually. You can choose between hardwood or vinyl for both the main and lower floors, which is a nice touch. Central air and forced air gas heating keep things comfy year-round.
