“We have made great use of the open concept of the living/dining/ kitchen areas, which have been ideal for family gatherings and entertaining,” owner Michelle Harris says.
“Our home has lots of windows and natural light flowing through, with the added bonus of being on such a large lot. We even have a view of horses roaming in the property behind us.
“The Trans-Canada Trail is steps from our property and we often go there to walk, cycle or cross-country ski for miles on the groomed trails. We are also just minutes from downtown Uxbridge, where we can find pretty much anything we need,” Harris adds.

“The large private lot has manicured lawns, professional landscaping full of perennial gardens, a fire pit, a small waterfall feature and invisible dog fencing. It is located on one of the most desirable and sought-after streets in Uxbridge,” Esmonde says.
