For sale: Detached

Built in an era when homes were designed to last, with oversight from the person who would call it home for a lifetime, this well-kept side split offers nearly 1,600 sq ft of comfortable living space on a mature 0.55-acre lot just northwest of Brantford and southeast of Paris. Inside, you’ll find a spacious kitchen, formal dining room, bright living room with bay window, and a large family room anchored by a gas fireplace. Three bedrooms, 1.5 bathrooms and convenient main-floor laundry complete the finished living space, while the full unfinished basement provides plenty of additional storage and future potential. Many of the major mechanical items have already been updated, including the furnace, windows and roof, making this a property you can move into and enjoy from day one. Recent updates include new flooring throughout and fresh paint, giving the home a clean and refreshed feel while still maintaining the character that has made it home to the same family for decades. Outside is where the property really separates itself. An extra-long paved driveway provides parking for numerous vehicles and leads to the carport, while the private backyard features a sunroom, mature trees, storage shed and plenty of usable space for outdoor living, a future pool, potential dream garage/shop, large addition or a combination of all three! The property is bordered by active farmland on two sides, offering a sense of space that is increasingly difficult to find this close to town. Quick access to Hwy 403, approximately two minutes to Paris and five minutes to Brantford, puts everyday amenities within easy reach while maintaining a countryside setting. Come and see 638 Oak Park Rd and you’ll quickly understand why this home has been loved by the same family since 1965. Available for immediate possession
