Oh my, get ready to fall in love. I guarantee you will absolutely love the quality and feeling this amazing home delivers. You’re also going to be totally blown away by the outbuildings, gardens, and pristine condition of everything. Let’s start with the location. It’s nicely situated on a 2.4 acre landscaped property along popular Route 201 in Carleton Corner, Annapolis County. From here you can be at historic Annapolis Royal in12 minutes. Middleton and Greenwood are about 25 minutes east and Bridgetown is very close, making shopping and services easy to find. The house was built 60 years ago, and the owners did a complete restoration and renovation over the past 8 years.

The house was gutted, rewired, replumbed, insulated, new windows were added, all new drywall, 2.5 new baths, new kitchen with high end quality cabinets, the roof was reshingled, decks added, completely painted inside, all new flooring throughout including high-end hardwood and exceptional ceramics. Attention to detail and quality was not overlooked . . . anywhere. And the basement was completely finished in the same first class manner. The house now offers 2,800 square feet of very comfortable living space and another 1,200 square feet of finished space in the basement. The main floor has a welcoming foyer. To the right is a spacious livingroom with recently installed efficient fireplace insert. To the left is a formal diningroom. Off the diningroom is a wonderful sunroom (the owners’ favourite room).

Behind the diningroom is an expansive, well laid out kitchen with large eating area, lots of cabinets and counters and a door to the side gardens and wrap-around covered verandah. All appliances are included. Beside the kitchen, a short hall leads to the side entry, with mudroom area, closet space, a small pantry, steps to the lower level, bathroom and laundry room.

Across the entire back of the house is a two story addition. The lower level is the family room. It measures 28 x 18 with windows on 3 sides. All the walls have custom crafted dark stained wainscotting. This is not the store bought variety. This was hand-made on site by a craftsman. A nice original staircase leads to the second floor. Here you’ll find a sunny upper foyer, 3 cozy bedrooms all with closets, a linen closet, a bathroom with nice soaker tub and the master bedroom. The master suite is the upper portion of the new addition and includes a huge bedroom with sitting area, a large walk-in closet and large bathroom. The finished basement has a large open area, nicely finished and used as a home office. There’s a small exercise room, a huge pantry room ideal for making and storing pickles, preserves and jams. All the systems are within 8 years old and this property has municipal water and sewer.

Can it get any better?

There’s a spotless paved driveway that winds in beside the house and leads to the outbuildings. There’s a fantastic garden house (not a shed) 16 x 12, a 3 car garage 40 x 24 with 3 roll-up doors and each bay is finished with tile floor and painted drywall walls. Lots of lighting, nicely finished interior with a woodstove in one section. This building shows like new (or better) and is set up for a woodworking shop or can be used for your cars. There’s another garage 28 x 26 with a full second level and a 12 x 20 equipment storage room on the back. There’s also a quality built wood storage house and a storage shed near the kitchen used for BBQ and patio furniture storage. Beyond the largest building is a large field ideal for gardening. Water outlets are positioned around the property. The property has underground drainage which goes to the brook that borders the property. Outdoor lighting, unique fencing, cozy sitting areas, stone walls, mature trees, lush lawn and amazing gardens surround this property.

It’s paradise and it is pristine. It’s perfect for retirement living, a big family or a home based business. The quality buildings are ideal for just about any use. Best of all, this property is priced well below replacement value. This is an incredible buy for a family who wants a quality home and has a use for all the outbuildings. All buildings feel like they’ve never been used. Simply amazing!
