About this home
5 THINGS YOU'LL LOVE ABOUT THIS HOME! 1) THE LOCATION - Just three blocks from downtown Lindsay, you're just steps away from a walkable, heritage-rich core along the Scugog River, with easy access to Ross Memorial Hospital, schools, and a manageable commute to the GTA. 2) THE YARD - The deep, flat, private backyard is anchored by a beautiful mature tree, with plenty of room to garden, entertain, or just let the kids run free. A full detached one-car garage provides secure parking and valuable extra storage, a rare find for a home of this age. 3) THE LIVING SPACE - This four-bedroom, three-bathroom home offers over 1,700 square feet of finished living space, showcasing plenty of character throughout. It's an ideal opportunity for first-time homebuyers looking to put down roots in a growing community. 4) THE SUNROOM - An additional sunroom off the back of the house extends the living space, creating a bright, cozy bonus spot for morning coffee, reading, or a bit of creative and artistic space of your own. It's a simple addition that quietly becomes a favourite corner of the house. 5) THE BASEMENT SUITE - The basement offers added flexibility with a kitchenette featuring a full-size fridge and cabinetry, along with a separate bathroom and downstairs bedroom. Whether used for extended family, guests, or additional living space, this area can adapt to suit your needs.
