EXCLUSIVE LISTING-BROKER PROTECTED

As you can see from the interior photos this is fantastic home!  The home has been renovated room by room over the last several years.   

Welcome to a 3 + 1 bedroom home located in a quiet town!  The municipal property taxes, property description and rooms sizes appear below.

If the gorgeous front veranda and the decorative split rail fence on the front of the home do not grab your attention, when you walk through the front entrance you will be love what you see from the front foyer:  Gleaming hardwood in the open concept living & dining rooms & a beautiful eat-in kitchen with ample cabinetry and beautiful counter tops with Tijuana tile backsplash & under cabinet lighting.   Check out the huge multiple cabinet pantry on your right.  Fantastic!

One of the few remaining original historical features in the lovely home is the turn-of-the-century hand-turned oak spindles on the staircase.  The grand room or combination living/dining room has a large patio door and a big, bright window overlooking the large, fenced yard.  And did we mention the hardwood?

Have a look at the new ceramic tile in the rear laundry room & the newly renovated bathroom with in-floor radiant heat to keep your toes comfy on a cool winter evening.  There are new fixtures including new toilet & vanity and of course the tub.  Relax in the oversized soaker tub as you gaze through the skylight at the clear starry country skies.  Due to the location of the soaker tub vis-à-vis the skylight, you could call the view from the tub “part-starry sky view”!

Two of the 3 upper level bedrooms have new floating floors.  The master bedroom is having new flooring installed and the two-piece ensuite is being completed.  The main level 4^th bedroom/office is currently used as a store room.  This room could easily have a door installed to the exterior or have a direct entrance to a future garage.  

The natural gas costs are approximately $120 per month.  The furnace was installed in approximately 1999.  The majority of the windows and doors have been updated.  The plumbing and copper wiring are up-to-date.  The basement is for storage only.  We have had a contractor verify the basement supports.  Mr. Alexander confirms that the home is structurally sound, despite the eclectic studding on the south wall for hanging stored items-According to Mr. Alexander this is NOT a supporting wall.  This will be confirmed by your building inspector.

For the boys that love their toys, the property features a large attached workshop on the east side of the home.  It is accessible from the backyard.

It is walking distance to the public boat launch & all amenities, from the little shopping centre to the local credit union or atm machine.   In the summer of 2011, be sure you have dinner one moonlit evening at the waterfront legion on their waterfront deck!  Or perhaps treat yourself to dinner on your front veranda-the view won't be quite as good, however you will still catch a glimpse of a tall ship or two!

Welcome to a most fantastic place!

ABOUT THE AREA:

If you drive through the southern section of the village of Cardinal, please be advised that the vacant lot on the corner of Dundas and Bridge Street will be re-developed in the months to follow. 

As a testimonial to development in the local area there is a new ethanol plant recently completed in 2008 in the adjoining community, Johnstown situated only 12 km from this property.  Rumours abound that the local corn starch plant, CASCO will be expanding shortly. 

A new 24 hour Mac's Milk gas bar and convenience store was constructed at the end of our mini-recession in July 2009 on County Road #2 next to the shopping centre.  There is usually a line up at the gas pumps during peak hours since this location is reputed to have the lowest gas prices in Eastern Ontario!  The Home Hardware in the mini-mall recently did a major facelift and expanded their floor space.  A block of six townhouses and another block of four more was completed this summer near the shopping centre.  There is talk of a new residential subdivision being built in the immediate area as well! 

Welcome to a thriving little village!
