This attractive family home sits on a large 1/4 acre lot in town where many residents enjoy this quiet neighbourhood. With 6 bedrooms and 3 1/2 bathrooms, this home offers the perfect opportunity for a spacious in-law suite while also suited to a larger family. As with the current owners, there is space for 2 home offices and a sewing room while still leaving 3 bedrooms. Larger living and dining spaces are perfect for entertaining and there is a convenient sitting area just off the kitchen. An inside entry from the garage is close to both the kitchen and a cozy family room with a gas fireplace and TV. A second family room is located in the lower level along with a laundry room, home gym and workshop. An attractive hardwood staircase leads from the large foyer to the second level. The staircase to the lower level was constructed so its railing can be easily removed to accommodate furniture relocation. On the street side of the home is a screened porch that is the perfect spot for relaxing with a book. At the back is a large sunroom with attached deck and awning that looks onto a yard filled with mature trees next to a private urban woodlot. This is a solid, well-built and maintained brick two-storey home. Newer windows, gleaming hardwood floors, an 18KW Generac generator, an efficient heat pump for A/C and warmth are just a few of the features. The annual expenses are very reasonable at $1,556 for natural gas, $1,481 for electricity and $937 for water/sewage. Home has "all house" surge protection. A/C includes a wall unit on the main floor and ceiling outlets on the second floor. Over the kitchen stove is a powerful external venting two-motor Vent-A-Hood exhaust fan. Located in the Heritage Town of Perth you will be within walking distance to unique shops, grocery stores, pharmacies, medical services, schools, places of worship, festivals and other events that occur throughout the year.
