Enter through wrought iron gates and drive down the long gravel drive to this well-maintained five bedroom home set back from the road. So much quiet and privacy! Beautifully landscaped country retreat set on 10 acres of mixed hardwood bush with trails. Snowmobile trails nearby as well as close access to Lake of Bays - all within 14 minutes of downtown Huntsville. Large family home with 5 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. The main floor offers an open concept kitchen with oak cabinetry and stainless steel appliances, living room and dining room with ceramic tile and solid oak flooring. Very convenient main floor laundry with direct access to the rear deck. Lots of natural light flow into this home through the many windows. There is a convenient walk-out from the dining area onto the 28 ft x 12 ft deck, which overlooks the expansive yard. The lower level is fully finished with a 3 piece bathroom and 2 bedrooms. The warm wood burning stove supplements the heat from the forced air furnace. A large, open recreation room is ideal for family gatherings and the insulated 2 car garage can be accessed from the lower level. The exterior is brick, siding and aluminum with a metal roof which means 'no maintenance'. This whole package is protected from power outages by a Generac automatic generator. **School bus pickup at door!
