42 Sunnyside Road, Rural Ponoka County

Tucked away on a beautifully treed lot, this striking A-frame window-front home offers the perfect blend of rustic charm and modern comfort. A long, private driveway leads to your serene escape, surrounded by mature trees and backing directly onto forest — creating the feeling of having your own private sanctuary. Step outside and enjoy magical outdoor living at its finest: a large screened-in patio (with direct access to the fenced 18' x 24' dog run through a gated entry), expansive front deck with seating and stairs down to a lush lawn and garden area, private sunken hot tub area, fully fenced mini garden with shed, and a charming fire pit area enclosed in mature trees. There’s even a fenced 18’ x 24’ dog run with direct access from the screened-in room — perfect for pet lovers. Inside the home features warm and inviting finishes throughout, including hand-scraped engineered hardwood floors and solid wood doors. The main floor hosts the primary bedroom (with a ceiling fan and a large window overlooking the trees), full bath, cozy wood stove set on a tiled hearth, and stunning cedar vaulted ceilings. The great room is bright and airy with floor-to-ceiling A-frame windows and abundant natural light that showcases the surrounding treed views and the soaring cedar-paneled vaulted ceiling with exposed beams. Upstairs, a loft-style layout offers two additional bedrooms and a second full bath — the loft itself is a large, open flexible space with vaulted wood ceilings and skylights, ideal for a media area, playroom or studio. The partially finished basement provides additional space and features a gas fireplace and comfortable rec-area feel. The kitchen boasts ample wood cabinetry, a center workspace/island, and stainless steel appliances including a large refrigerator and built-in microwave, opening to the dining area that looks out through the dramatic windows. All windows are updated vinyl. The oversized detached double garage is fully finished with drywall, heat, a floor drain, and central vac. Above the garage, a bright, versatile studio space (with vaulted wood ceiling and plentiful natural light) is currently used as a yoga studio — ideal for hobbies, a home office, or guest suite. All permits were obtained for the garage, which is equipped with a high-efficiency Lennox gas heater. This property is a true gem — combining style, function, privacy, and connection to nature. Whether you’re seeking a full-time residence or a relaxing retreat, this home checks all the boxes. (id:1945)
