About this home

ESCAPE THE CITY TO YOUR COUNTRY HAVEN ~ Looking for your perfect small-town escape? This charming century home on 0.57 acres in the quaint town of Durham, Ontario, just southeast of Hanover, might be exactly what you've been searching for - great price, huge lot, low taxes, large rooms, and endless potential. Featuring 4 bedrooms and 2 baths, this character-filled home has been thoughtfully updated at great expense with new hardwood floors, new electrical, new furnace, central air, all new windows throughout, and steel roofs on ALL buildings - significant upgrades already paid for! The doors and trim are sanded smooth and refinished in a rustic/historic look that could easily be re-painted if you prefer. You'll love the two enclosed porches and large primary rooms. Outside, there's large cement patio off the family room, a 2-car detached garage with an oil pit, plus two impressive outbuildings including a 14' x 25' "ManCave plus separate SheShed" - perfect for art studios, hobby or workshops, home offices, or guests -- and an upscale 40-foot shipping-container workshop/studio with slanted roof, overhead storage, hydro, covered veranda, and a charming wooden French-door entrance. These add up to another 600+ sq. ft. of finished space. This classic turn-of-century home is surrounded by a wide assortment of wild flowers, vines, organic garlic, rhubarb, raspberries and blackberries, and four life-size beautiful outdoor sculptures. New high speed underground internet was just installed. Enjoy cool country living with municipal services, plus the bonus of being just a 5-minute walk to the shops and restaurants on Main Street/Hyw 6. A truly unique property - one of those rare finds you wish you had heard about before someone else snapped it up. Don't miss this opportunity to live large in a small town!
