Historic Charm, Happily Reimagined & Surrounded By Country Serenity! Built in 1887 and wrapped in mature trees on 1.66 acres, this farmhouse has a story to tell, from its deep blue exterior beneath steep gables to the covered porch looking out over an incredibly green country setting. Thoughtful updates have been carefully layered into the home without losing its original character, including an open-concept kitchen with granite counters, stainless steel appliances, a pantry and tile flooring that continues into the dining room. A propane fireplace makes that dining space especially cozy when the weather turns cool, while hardwood flooring through most rooms carries the home's historic character beautifully. A main-floor office or den gives you a quiet place to work or read, and upstairs, three spacious bedrooms include a primary with a 4-piece ensuite and walk-in closet with organizers. Outdoors, the expansive lawn leaves plenty of room for the vegetable garden, hot tub and long afternoons on the covered porch, with parking for 10+ vehicles when friends and family come by. The Simcoe County Forest is close enough to reach on foot, Mount St. Louis Moonstone is minutes away, nearby routes put mountain biking, ATVing and snowmobiling within easy reach, and Highway 400 keeps trips farther afield easy. More than a century later, the character remains, the comforts have evolved and the quiet still steals the show.
