Welcome to your own slice of the country on the edge of town. Nestled on a private, tree-lined one-acre lot just minutes from downtown Carleton Place, this well-maintained 4-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom home offers the perfect balance of privacy, space, and convenience.The bright main level features refinished hardwood floors (2026) and a functional layout designed for family living. At the front of the home, a den overlooking the gardens makes an ideal home office or quiet reading space, or play room. The renovated kitchen, complete with new kitchen and dining room light fixtures (2026), opens to the formal dining room, while the spacious living room and cozy family room with a gas fireplace provide plenty of room to gather. The living room, dining room, and upstairs hallway have all been freshly painted (2026). Upstairs, you'll find four generous bedrooms, including a spacious primary suite with its own private ensuite, plus a second full bathroom for the rest of the upper level. The finished basement (2021) adds valuable living space, perfect for a recreation room, home gym, or kids' play area. Major updates provide peace of mind, including upper-level windows (2022), back roof shingles (2016), and a professionally installed WaterGuard basement waterproofing system (2021) featuring a lifetime warranty, new sump pit, sump pump, battery backup, and alarm system. Outside, mature trees create an exceptional sense of privacy. Enjoy summer days on the deck, cool off in the 18-foot above-ground pool, and appreciate the open green space that surrounds you. A neighbourhood park is directly across the street, while schools, restaurants, trails, beaches, and the waterfront are all just minutes away. The quick access to the highway makes commuting easy. The driveway provides plenty of parking, and the separate front and side access offer flexibility for working from home, running a home business. Country charm, modern updates, and an unbeatable location!
