Your own stretch of the Maitland River. Set on about 24.6 acres, this property has roughly 1,220 feet of river frontage, with the river winding right through it and land on both banks for most of its run. Mature maples frame the 1890 two storey farmhouse, which sits up on the bank with a south-west view over the water. Inside, original character meets an updated kitchen with white cabinetry, a large island and stainless appliances, open to a dining room with room for the whole family at one table. The living room centres on a wood stove, with bay windows and a door out to the deck and the river beyond. A family room, a den and a main floor bedroom add flexible space, and main floor laundry with a mudroom at the side door keeps everyday life easy. Upstairs, the primary bedroom has a sitting area and a walk-in closet, joined by three more bedrooms and a 4 piece bath: 5 bedrooms and 2 baths in all, about 2,243 sq ft above grade. The wood stove keeps the house warm, backed by wall-mounted heat pumps that heat and cool, with central vac and a full, partially finished basement. Outdoors, the covered porch and the large deck are made for slow mornings and long evenings by the water. A detached 2 bay garage, a classic bank barn with a lean-to, a garden plot and a gravel loop drive past a row of spruce give you room for hobbies, projects and family gatherings. Private and peaceful, yet just outside Bluevale and minutes to Wingham on paved, year round Huron County Road 86.
