Welcome to 415 Highway 2, Cardinal-a charming waterfront-adjacent home offering the best of river living without the premium waterfront tax bill. Nestled along the Cardinal Canal, this well-maintained 2+1 bedroom, 2 bathroom home enjoys spectacular views of the St. Lawrence River, where you can relax and watch the ships glide by from the comfort of your own property. One of the home's unique advantages is the opportunity for the owner to apply annually to OPG for a permit to install a dock, providing convenient water access while benefiting from significantly lower property taxes than traditional waterfront ownership. Inside, you'll find a bright and spacious layout with a large eat-in kitchen, perfect for family meals and entertaining. The main floor laundry adds everyday convenience, while the front room has previously served as a main floor bedroom, offering flexible living options for guests, multigenerational families, or those seeking one-level living. A cozy, modern wood fireplace creates a warm and inviting atmosphere during the cooler months in the living room. Major updates have already been completed, including newer roof, windows, exterior door, siding, gas fireplace, furnace, and hot water tank, giving buyers peace of mind for years to come. Outside, the pie-shaped lot offers beautiful gardens and plenty of space to enjoy the outdoors while taking in the peaceful waterfront setting. A small barn/garage is located on the property and, with some restoration, could once again serve as excellent storage, a workshop, or hobby space. If you've been dreaming of a relaxed riverside lifestyle with beautiful views, flexible living space, and exceptional value, 415 Highway 2 is a property you won't want to miss.
