Rare setup here: a tidy 3-bed, 1-bath bungalow (around 1150 sq ft) plus a former church (about 1600 sq ft) with an attached garage on a 151x308 ft lot. The house has been refreshed with a freestanding propane fireplace, heat pumps for heating and cooling, a steel roof, and vinyl flooring. You'll find three good-sized bedrooms, a simple kitchen, and a bathroom that's a bit dated but functional. Step outside to a huge, private yard with mature trees at the edges and a wood deck off the back-perfect for summer BBQs. The church is the real kicker: versatile space that could be a workshop, studio, or massive storage area, and it's got a garage door opener. Parking's a non-issue with 11 spots. It's set back from the road and feels rural, yet you're only minutes to Meaford or Thornbury for groceries, dining, and the harbour. Tax bill runs about $3,045 a year, and the asking price sits at $599,900, which is in line with the few other listings nearby. If you need room for toys, hobbies, or just space to breathe, this place delivers.
