Highlights of the house include a living room with vaulted ceiling, a second floor wraparound deck and a three-season Muskoka room.
“This home is set up to enjoy the seasons. We love sitting in the Muskoka room when it is raining or taking a walk in our own private, park-like yard,” homeowner Cheryl Brown says. “In the winter, we go snowshoeing and cross-country skiing right out the back door.
“Every season brings new interactions with wildlife, including seeing deer and owls.
“Uxbridge is an artistic community, offering the full, farmto-table experience, while still easily being able to go see a play or have dinner,” Brown adds.
The home is steps to a park and close to a golf club. Downtown Uxbridge is less than 10 minutes away where there are schools, shopping, businesses, a library and restaurants. Also nearby are a recreation centre with an arena, a hospital and two ski resorts. Toronto is about an hour’s drive away.
“The home features upgrades … such as a master bedroom five-piece ensuite and high-end stainless steel appliances in a contemporary kitchen,” listing agent Gerald Lawrence says. “The 25-acre parcel includes private trails amongst the mix of tree types that allows for the benefit of a large reduction in taxes as per the Managed Forest Tax Incentive Program.”
