At the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, a meandering driveway leads through the trees to a stately home, accented by a covered front porch & classic dormer windows. Inside the spacious foyer, the formal dining room sits to the right, while the living room opens ahead, featuring a stone-accented wood-burning fireplace & a vaulted ceiling with faux wood beams. The kitchen offers granite counters, a propane cooktop, a built-in raised oven & microwave, & ample cabinetry, perfect for everyday cooking & entertaining. From the living room, two separate hallways extend to the guest bedrooms, creating excellent privacy. One hallway leads to a guest suite with a walk-in closet & 4pc ensuite. The other hallway connects to a second bedroom with an adjacent 3pc bathroom & a nearby den, ideal for quiet work or reading. On the opposite side of the main floor, the large primary suite feels like its own retreat, complete with a walk-in closet, faux-beam-accented vaulted ceilings, & a 5pc ensuite featuring a jetted soaker tub, shower stall, water closet, & double-sink vanity. Upstairs, the family room, with its propane fireplace, offers a comfortable gathering space, complemented by a convenient 2pc powder room.

Bell Fibre is installed at the property, providing excellent connectivity. Outdoors, the property enjoys private, deeded access to Peninsula Lake, shared with only two neighbouring properties, via a private, cleared hiking trail. The trail leads to a hard-packed sand entry & a private dock, offering a simple, convenient spot to launch a canoe or kayak, or even to dock your boat. The northeast boundary of this property adjoins the protected Pen Lake Farms Nature Reserve, creating a peaceful natural buffer & enhancing the quiet surroundings.
