Nestled away on a gently rolling tree-lined street that curves with the natural landscape and surrounded by the peaceful setting that is Pigeon Lake, 250 Riverside Drive seems a world away yet is mere minutes from all the wonderful amenities of Bobcaygeon.

“It’s like you’re in the country, but you’re actually in town. It’s a very comfortable setting,” says Tom Hunt, Broker of Record with Hunt4Dreams Realty Inc.

Located in a high-profile subdivision, the 3,800-square-foot private and tranquil in-town bungalow was constructed a year ago to exacting detail, and with use of the finest custom materials by master builders and craftspeople.

“The finest modern amenities and intricate details enhance the home and add to its aesthetic and practical value,” explains Hunt.

This includes high ceilings, recessed lighting, tile entry, high-quality oak hardwood floors cut on the diagonal, gorgeous moldings throughout the main floor, stainless steel appliances, and high-efficiency propane heating.

The property features three bedrooms, three bathrooms, a large rear deck with beautiful views, a front covered porch, a private rear yard, and an attached garage.

There are two large family room areas, and a spacious laundry room on the lower level.

The wow factor

Every room is bathed in natural light, creating a seamless transition from indoor living to outdoor experience.

“There’s a wow factor when you enter the house,” boasts Hunt, noting the grand entry to rising 10 feet cathedral-like ceilings in the main great room.

“The oak hardwood floor that you see when you enter is heavy duty, hand-scraped hardwood and cut on a 45 degree angle,” he adds.

Lower level

The lower level, covered in hardwood flooring along with a dampness barrier beneath, is an entertainer’s dream come true, says Hunt.

The raised floor has loads of features including two enormous entertainment rooms (measuring 23 x 20 feet and 23 x 26 feet), an ideal environment to display a huge TV screen and home theatre system.

“The nine foot ceilings and huge windows allow a lot of light and make you feel like you’re on the main floor,” notes Hunt.

It also has two utility areas, a three-piece bath with a corner Jacuzzi tub on a raised pedestal all surrounded by 12 x 15 inch ceramic tiles around the walls and floors, and a laundry room with ceramic floors.

“Both decks are overbuilt and the floor joists are over code,” says Hunt. “They have solid support.”

If entertaining isn’t your cup of tea, you can just sit back and relax as you watch wildlife roam through the beautiful natural setting-right from the comfort of your own home.
