For sale: Detached

Set on a beautifully treed one-acre lot of mature pines, this custom-built executive bungalow offers real privacy with low-maintenance living, so you get to spend more time on the water and exploring nearby trails, and less time taking care of the land. Just minutes from Athens, Brockville, and Charleston Lake, this home delivers the seclusion of the country with none of the upkeep of a multi-acreage lot or hobby farm. Six bedrooms and four bathrooms are spread across two fully finished levels totalling a generous 2,912 square feet of beautifully finished living space for the whole family. The main floor showcases hardwood, ceramic, and marble flooring, a granite kitchen with a center island and a custom cabinetry, and a primary suite with a walk-in closet and full ensuite bathroom. Main floor laundry and direct garage access add everyday ease. While outside, a screened gazebo on the upper deck frames the treed setting, built for relaxing or entertaining under the pines. On the ground level is a beautifully finished living area, complete with 9'foot ceilings, ample natural light, walkout access to the backyard and stone patio, three additional bedrooms, a large recreation room, and a newly finished bathroom with a tiled glass walk-in shower. A newer backyard shed adds storage for tools and toys. And as an added perk, the Sellers are offering to negotiate a rebate at closing; you can ask your agent for details. Built in 2013, this beautiful home offers a rare combination of privacy, space, and quality in one of the area's most sought-after rural settings, within a few minutes of the darling town of Athens and a stone's throw to Ontario's first Adventure Class park, Charleston Lake, and some of the best camping, swimming, boating, fishing, cycling, wildlife viewing, and hunting in South-East Ontario.
