Built in 1907, this beautifully maintained century home combines timeless character with modern comfort, set on more than 44 acres that borders Griffiths Lake. A classic wraparound verandah offers the perfect spot for morning coffee, while a rear deck invites you to enjoy summer BBQs and evening sunsets. Inside, the main floor features a bright eat-in kitchen that flows into a formal dining room and a living room highlighted by a bay window. A convenient laundry area with adjoining half bath completes the main level. The original staircase, accented by a stained-glass window and distinctive newel post, leads to two spacious bedrooms, a large full bath, and a walk-up attic with bonus storage. Extensive energy upgrades completed in 2012 earned the home an Energuide rating of 73—on par with modern construction. Updates include Low-E Argon windows, added attic insulation, and a spray-foamed basement. Comfort is assured year-round with a 2.5-ton York ducted heat pump and a new (2024) 98% efficient York propane furnace. Additional features include whole- house surge protection, hot water timer, 100-amp service with generator hookup, and both interior and walkout basement access. The roof was reshingled in 2022, ensuring low- maintenance living. Original wood flooring and moldings enhance the home’s warm and welcoming feel, while thoughtful upgrades make it efficient and move-in ready. This is a rare opportunity to enjoy century home charm with modern convenience in a peaceful, private setting.
