You will be drawn to this 175+ year old family home and the large dream workshop/garage with a loft as you continue across the granite knoll to this home that has stood the test of time. The setting in Battersea offers a country lifestyle with village advantages. A two minute walk to a Loughborough Lake boat launch and public docks for fishing and water sports, the Creekside patio for dining and live music, a quaint corner store, ball park, and playground close by. You can hear the nearby waterfall that is behind the private fenced yard, part of the Milburn Creek Conservation Area that has 10+ miles of walking trails with the close access to the trails just 2 doors down. If that isn’t enough of a draw, Gilmour point beach park on Dog Lake and another boat launch are 5 minutes down the road.  It’s not hard to picture family life here. The entranceway greets you with sunlight beaming from the patio doors leading to the deck and yard. Enjoy the open concept area kitchen with exposed beams, an island warmed by the stone hearth with woodstove and hardwood floors. From the large dining area walk out to the front wraparound porch for coffee, or head to the office nook leading to the spacious living room. Updates include the newer addition (2010), the furnace (2019), wood stove (2020), windows, steel roof, hardwood floors, 2 recently renovated bathrooms, one with heated floors and w/i shower combined with the main floor laundry (2023),  the second spa bathroom with soaker tub (2022).  But the real draw is the carpenter’s or mechanic’s dream, the 30' x 13' garage/workshop, mostly insulated and heated with propane, 220 amp service, and the 400 sq ft loft. Also is the lean-to shed area for storage. Lots of parking. Lots of mature trees and gardens including 2 apple trees, lots of home for all your needs. floor plan available. (id:54626)
