Nestled on a large private lot in beautiful rural Essa, just outside the growing community of Angus, this meticulously cared for 3+1 bedroom raised bungalow offers an incredible commuter location with swift access to major routes and city conveniences. Boasting approx. 2,300 sq. ft. of total finished living space, the home features an inviting open-concept layout. The main level showcases a bright and spacious kitchen complete with stainless steel appliances, an eat-in breakfast area, and a direct walkout to a large deck overlooking the sprawling, private backyard. The spacious primary bedroom features double closets with custom built-ins and a semi-ensuite, alongside two additional well-appointed bedrooms. The fully finished lower level expands your footprint with a massive recreation room, a bright 4th bedroom featuring above-grade windows, a 3-piece bath, and abundant storage space. Everyday convenience is maximized with main-floor laundry that walks directly out to the yard, plus a double garage with inside entry. Total peace of mind is guaranteed thanks to significant high-ticket updates completed in the past few years, including a premium steel roof (approx. $22K CAD value), updated furnace, well pump, deck, side fencing, and a backup generator. Turn-key country living!
