This lovely, nicely updated bungalow offers the best of both worlds: a private rural setting with the everyday conveniences of the city still close by. Set on an expansive lot with no rear neighbours, the backyard feels like your own private park, fully fenced with a large deck and plenty of room to enjoy.For anyone who loves cars, boats, hobbies or extra storage, the heated 18 x 40 foot garage is a standout. Inside, a generous entry leads to a bright living room overlooking the front yard, anchored by a large stone fireplace that keeps things cozy through the cooler months. The attached dining room makes entertaining easy, with a bonus sitting area that feels perfect for a post-dinner drink.The kitchen is spacious and functional with great storage, beautiful tile and lovely views over the backyard. The bedrooms are comfortably sized and the main bathroom has been updated with fresh, modern finishes.Downstairs, there is plenty of flexible space for a home gym, movie room, games area or whatever suits your lifestyle, along with another updated three piece bathroom. This is a home that makes it easy to slow down and enjoy a little more privacy. Findlay Creek's shops, restaurants, schools and parks are minutes away, the airport and south end are easily accessible, and nearby trails and wetlands give the area a quieter, more outdoorsy feel. It's a great middle ground for buyers who want some space without making a true country move.
