About This Home

As of October 2025

A nature lover's dream awaits! This beautifully maintained home offers sweeping views of Sleeping Giant from the front, where you can watch the sun rise over its ridgeline, and the soothing sound of Eaton Brook running through the backyard. Imagine sipping coffee on the deck while listening to the gentle flow of water and watching nature all around you. Perfect for gardeners and homesteaders, the property features newly built raised garden beds, fruit trees, a greenhouse, and a picture-perfect chicken coop-all Instagram-worthy spaces that blend function with charm. Inside, pride of ownership shines through every detail: an oversized living room anchored by a cozy wood-burning stove, four spacious bedrooms, and four bathrooms. One of the large bedrooms offers flexible uses-ideal as a home office, den, or guest space. The kitchen was refreshed in 2017 with refinished cabinets and a stylish backsplash, blending modern touches with classic warmth. Thoughtful updates bring both comfort and peace of mind, including a new roof (2016), refinished hardwood floors (2017), new septic system (2016), new and expanded driveway (2019), central air conditioning (2021), a Trex deck overlooking the brook (2022), a fully finished basement (2022), and a modern water treatment system. This home is truly a private retreat-where every season brings new beauty, and every update reflects the care and pride poured into it.
