2231 WELLINGTON Street

You will be drawn to this 175+ year old family home and the large dream workshop/garage with a loft as you continue across the granite knoll to this home that has stood the test of time. The setting in Battersea village offers a country lifestyle with advantages. A two minute walk to a Loughborough Lake boat launch and public docks for fishing and watersports, the Creekside patio for dining and live music, a quaint corner store, ball park, and playground close by. Behind the private fenced yard you can hear the nearby waterfall. The Milburn Creek Conservation Area has 10+ miles of walking trails following the creek, the closest access to the trails is near the church just 2 doors down. If that isn’t enough of a draw, Gilmour point beach park on Dog Lake and another boat launch are 5 minutes down the road.  It’s not hard to picture family life here. The entranceway greets you with sunlight beaming from the patio doors leading to the deck and fenced yard. Enjoy the open concept area kitchen with exposed beams, an island warmed by the stone hearth with woodstove and hardwood floors, From the large dining area walk out to the front wrap around porch for coffee, or head to the office nook leading to the spacious living room. Updates include a newer addition (2010), include the furnace (2019), woodstove (2020), windows, steel roof, hardwood floors, 2 recently renovated bathrooms, one with heated floors and w/i shower combined with the main floor laundry (2023),  the second spa bathroom with soaker tub (2022).  But the real draw is the carpenter’s or mechanic’s dream, the 30' x 13' garage/workshop, mostly insulated and heated with propane, 220 amp service, a 400 sq ft loft, and attached lean-to shed area for storage. Lots of parking. Lots of mature trees and gardens including 2 apple trees, lots of home for all your needs. (id:50836)
