1344 WEST RIVER Road
North Dumfries
2 bed • Single Family
Sitting on one acre of land, nestled along the wooded banks of the grand river, this recently updated home is ready to be yours, in the quaint neighborhood of Sheps Subdivision, North Dumfries. At a quick glance, you get the feeling that you’ve left the city hours behind, but it’s actually a scenic 8 minute drive to downtown Galt. The home and detached garage take advantage of the deep lot as they sit back from the road, the mature trees create a natural buffer making the property more private. The bungalow is approximately 1466 square feet of pure charm. A three-panel floor to ceiling window and sliding door separate the foyer from the front facing deck which overlooks the pond and creates the spot for you to enjoy your morning coffee. The living room is the perfect example of how immersed the home is into its natural surroundings, windows on all three sides and a skylight; you won’t suffer from the lack of natural light here. The formal dining room separates the living room from the eat in kitchen, rightfully occupying a major part of the main floor space. Wrap around quartz countertops form a peninsula that can seat three. Storage and display cabinetry fully utilize the wall space adding function and elegance with stainless steel appliances. The home hosts two bedrooms and two bathrooms, one is a 3 piece and one is a luxury 5 piece, complete with free standing soaker tub and the shiplap wall finishing of the mudroom laundry continues to bring the cottage feel. The second structure on the property is dual purposed. It’s a detached shop space, and right beside it with a separate entrance and its own heating and cooling system, an additional bachelor dwelling unit complete with kitchen, bathroom, and laundry. Furnace (2023), Septic system rebuild (2023) You will be hard pressed to find a property so close to the city that offers the privacy and versatility like this one!
