About this home

Welcome to 168 South River Road, Elora - featuring a truly unique custom built BUNGALOW on an equally unique RIVERFRONT lot. This is an incredible opportunity to add significant value here - and make this your forever home. Bring your ideas and designer on this one. Let's talk about the the oasis - like setting first. Beautifully landscaped for privacy out front , this amazing treed lot stretches over 585 feet to the river. And this is not your average lot. Half way back , you descend down a stairway next to a stunning limestone cave wall as you meander the trail amongst the trees to the river's edge where you can sit and watch the water flow by and enjoy your slice of heaven. The home itself was built in the early 80's, offering over 2800 square feet of finished living space with opportunity to add more. The stand out feature on the main level is a skylight that stretches the width of the home allowing for an abundance of natural light to stream through the home. Gorgeous outside nature views through large windows along the back of the home - with access to a massive rear deck. Plus I would be remiss not to mention the sunroom with its floor to ceiling windows that allow you to immerse yourself further into your peaceful surroundings. Other features to note are the vaulted ceilings of course, double sided wood fireplace - and 2 car garage. Currently configured with 3 bedrooms up ( including primary with ensuite ) and 1 bedroom down. Book your private tour today.
