The stone bungaloft has a timeless presence, while the heated enclosed mudroom provides a charming and practical entrance into the home. Inside, original maple floors, wainscoting and exposed stone walls showcase the home's authentic details. A magnificent stone fireplace with heat recovery anchors the living room, while a pellet stove in the dining area adds warmth and atmosphere. Tall windows, soaring ceilings and natural stone create an interior that feels open and welcoming. The stylish kitchen offers crisp cabinetry, ample storage and a thoughtfully designed layout. Convenient main-floor living includes the primary bedroom, laundry and a three-piece bathroom with shower. Above, the open loft features a second bedroom with 2 large closets and a versatile office or sitting area overlooking the main level.

A firepit area creates an inviting place to gather, while two sheds offer useful storage. Directly across from a conservation area, this special property provides a beautiful connection to nature while remaining just outside Markdale and close to its shops, services and amenities.
