Description

Set on 8.3 acres of wooded countryside just north of Brighton and minutes from Highway 401, this custom-built home offers a terrific balance of privacy, natural beauty, and everyday convenience. Tucked among mature trees, the property provides a peaceful, secluded setting while remaining within easy reach of nearby amenities and commuter routes. The main living area is highlighted by a cathedral ceiling and expansive windows that capture sweeping views of the landscape. The kitchen is both functional and spacious, offering ample cabinetry and workspace suited to daily living or entertaining. The primary bedroom serves as a comfortable retreat, featuring locally sourced black cherry hardwood flooring, a walk-in closet, and an ensuite with in-floor heating. A walkout leads to a cedar deck overlooking the surrounding trees. The lower level extends the living space with a cozy recreation room anchored by a wood stove, two very large additional bedrooms (including one with its own ensuite), a cold room for food storage, and a walkout to the backyard, with in-law suite potential. A standout feature of the property is the impressive 40' x 60' outbuilding. Designed with versatility in mind, it includes a heated and insulated workshop, a two-car garage area suited for large vehicles or equipment, and additional upper-level space. With 60-amp service and solid construction, it is well suited for hobbyists, tradespeople, or those needing substantial storage. Heating is provided by a combination boiler and radiant systems. Key updates include oil tank (2019), roof with architectural shingles (2022), cedar deck (2024), and air conditioning (2025). Further enhancing the property is a transferable MicroFIT contract with Ontario Hydro generates approximately $10,000 annually for the next four years-an added income stream that contributes meaningful value, in addition to generating your own electricity and offsetting your hydro bill. A well-built home in a quiet and natural setting!
