About this home

Welcome to a wonderful country property offering space, character, and endless potential. Set on approximately 2.9 acres of beautiful, level land, this two-storey home is ideal for those seeking a peaceful rural lifestyle, hobby farm, or simply plenty of room for the family to enjoy. The exterior has seen several important updates, including new windows, siding, roofing, and updated wiring and plumbing. Inside, improvements include new flooring and fresh paint. The partially landscaped grounds feature mature apple trees and plenty of open, level space for gardens, animals, recreation, or future projects. A standout feature is the huge barn, complete with power and water, offering possibilities for a workshop, storage, or hobby farm. Inside, the main floor features a comfortable living room, large eat-in kitchen, separate dining room with patio doors, and a massive laundry room that could easily be converted to include a second bathroom with laundry. A convenient side porch provides additional storage. Upstairs, you will find three generously sized bedrooms and a four piece bathroom. The spacious primary bedroom includes a large bonus room ideal for a home office, dressing room, nursery, hobby space, or private retreat. The attic also offers potential for additional living space. Enjoy the peace and privacy of country living while remaining just 15 minutes from Amherst and approximately 15 minutes from the beautiful beaches of Joggins.
