Private, peaceful and only 2 km from the hospital, this beautifully crafted cedar-shake home offers a rare combination of privacy, quality and convenience in Antigonish. Surrounded by mature trees, established gardens and lovely outdoor spaces, the property feels wonderfully secluded while remaining just minutes from town. Inside, the quality of construction and craftsmanship is immediately apparent. Beautiful wood floors, rich wood trim, mahogany doors and carefully executed details give the home warmth and character. The main living area is open and inviting, with a fireplace and access to a large deck overlooking the gardens. A separate sitting room offers a quiet place to relax, while the thoughtfully designed kitchen, office and main-floor laundry add to the home's functionality. There are two bedrooms, each with its own full ensuite, plus a separate half bath for guests. The guest suite even has a walk-in closet, and the layout provides excellent separation and privacy between the bedrooms. Outdoor living is an important part of this property. Generous decks and a covered porch are surrounded by beautifully developed gardens, mature trees and a productive vegetable garden. Whether enjoying morning coffee, entertaining friends or spending an afternoon in the garden, the setting is exceptionally private and peaceful. Solar panels add another practical feature to this thoughtfully designed home.The lower level offers an abundance of additional space for hobbies and storage, including a games room, wine-making room, workshop, gardening room and cold cellar. The games area is developed but awaits finished flooring, leaving an opportunity for the next owner to complete it to their taste. With 1,370 sq. ft. of main-floor living space, extensive additional space below and outdoor living areas that take full advantage of the beautiful setting, this home lives much larger than its two-bedroom designation might suggest. Beautifully built, and exceptionally private. (id:41202)
