For sale: Detached

This charming log bungalow is the kind of home that captures your heart the moment you arrive. Nestled among the trees on 6.8 private acres, yet just 10 minutes from historic Perth, it offers the perfect blend of peaceful country living and everyday convenience, ideally located near Maple Glen Estates, Burgess Wood and beautiful Otty Lake. An expansive front deck overlooks the picturesque, park-like grounds and sets the tone for what awaits inside. Step through the door and you're surrounded by the warmth and character of exposed log walls, lovingly repurposed from a 100+ year-old barn. At the heart of the home, a magnificent fieldstone fireplace creates an unforgettable focal point in the open-concept living and dining space, flowing naturally into the kitchen and eat-in dining area. The main level features two comfortable bedrooms, a 4-piece bathroom and convenient laundry, making everyday living easy. Downstairs, the walkout lower level offers even more room to enjoy, with a family room, third bedroom and recreation room or potential fourth bedroom and a 2-piece bathroom. Outside is where this property becomes truly special. Wander through nearly seven acres of towering trees and peaceful surroundings, with incredible outbuildings including a workshop, a charming greenhouse featuring 100+ year-old conservatory windows, and a tranquil gazebo with beautiful windows to the woods. Cozy, private and filled with one-of-a-kind character, this isn't simply a home-it's an everyday escape. Welcome home.
