5 Union Street, Havelock

| HAVELOCK | Picture slow mornings on the covered front porch, family dinners around the dining room table and an evening walk on the Mathison Trail. This charming century home in the heart of Havelock has room for all of it, with a flexible layout that can adapt as your family grows. The covered porch leads to the formal front entry, while a separate family entrance off the driveway gives you easy access to the eat-in kitchen when you're bringing in groceries. The main floor also offers a comfortable living room or formal dining room with hardwood flooring. Curl up beside the freestanding gas stove in the main floor family room or keep an eye on the kids as they play in the fully fenced backyard. A main-floor office offers a quiet spot to work or the option of a main-floor primary bedroom, with a convenient two-piece bath on the same level. Upstairs, you'll find two bedrooms, including a generous primary, with the potential to restore a third bedroom, if required. Extensively renovated approximately 20 years ago, the home blends century character with practical updates. The work included updated wiring and windows, drywall in place of most of the original lath and plaster, and custom-made period-style trim and crown mouldings. A metal roof, central vacuum rough-in and detached single-car garage round out the property. Village amenities and the Mathison Trail are within walking distance, and Peterborough is about 30 minutes away.
