This log home sits on just over 4 acres of treed, landscaped property barely ten minutes from Bancroft's main strip. Five bedrooms, two bathrooms off a main floor that's been opened up. The kitchen's been modernized with granite counters and newer appliances; it's the kind of space that actually works for daily life. You'll notice the red metal roof right away - it's a real eye-catcher. The wood-clad exterior fits the setting, and there's a balcony overlooking the yard, a stone foundation that's held up fine, and a screened porch for bug-free evenings. Inside, walls of original log add warmth to the family room, where the fireplace is the focal point. A sunroom off the front gives you extra living space with views of the gardens. What's not to like? There's a workshop out back that's fully equipped, plus an attached garage and parking for up to eleven vehicles - handy if you've got toys or trailers. The property's fully fenced in parts, has raised garden beds, and there's a security system for peace of mind. It's not brand new - you'll find some original touches like wood paneling and rustic fixtures here and there - but the big-ticket items, like the drilled well and septic, are in good shape. With taxes just over five grand and a price that's competitive for the area, it's a solid value. Schools, a RONA, and even a Dairy Queen are all within a 15-minute drive, so you're never too far from conveniences.
