The home's infrastructure has been extensively upgraded, including new plumbing, a 200-amp panel, water heater, new well, Heat pump for Air Conditioning, and fire/soundproof insulation between floors. A massive septic system was installed with future development in mind. Situated on over half an acre, this property originally consisting of three lots that are deemed into one. The rear lot fronts onto Paxton Drive with driveway access for at least 4 vehicles , providing potential for an additional home in the future. Whether you're considering a 2nd residence, multigenerational possibilities, or simply want the extra space, the options are endless. A large storage shed provides space for tools and equipment. Adding another interesting chapter to the home's story, the current owner brought his professional skills as a movie and television set builder, having worked on productions including X-Men and Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, to the renovation of this special property. The result is a home with personality, craftsmanship, and a story you simply won't find in a typical house. This could be an ideal starter home for a young couple, a charming alternative for a Bruce Power employee looking to own rather than rent, or a unique property for anyone searching for something outside the ordinary. History, character, craftsmanship and opportunity all come together in this delightful church conversion. (id:32467)
