In the heart of Bonshaw?s peaceful countryside, 499 South Melville Road is a warm and welcoming retreat that feels both grounded and full of life. Thoughtfully rebuilt with a nod to classic island charm, this 1,845sqf home sits on six acres of mostly wooded land, bordered by a gentle brook along its northern edge. The setting is serene and naturally beautiful, an ideal match for those drawn to a slower, more intentional lifestyle. Inside, the home opens with a sense of ease and openness. The gourmet kitchen anchors the main floor and flows naturally into the dining and living areas, where a massive 9 foot sliding door draws in the landscape and extends the living space outward. It?s the kind of room that adapts, bright and open for hosting, calm and quiet for everyday moments. Just off this central space is a unique office or den with its own private entrance, a small wood stove for added comfort, and a raised loft that offers a cozy hideaway for reading, work, or creative pursuits. A full bathroom on the main level adds convenience without compromising the homes thoughtful layout. Downstairs, the finished lower level brings a mix of practicality and potential. A cold room offers the perfect spot for preserving the season?s harvest, while additional finished rooms can be shaped into a home office, hobby space, media room, or guest quarters. There?s also a separate laundry area and extra storage to keep things organized. Upstairs, you?ll find all three of the home?s bedrooms that soak in natural light. The second-floor bathroom features a double vanity and a window placed just right to offer a view from the shower, a quiet moment of connection to the outdoors. The primary bedroom includes a finished loft in the rafters, perfect for curling up with a book or finding a little solitude. Grounded in craftsmanship and full of soul, this is a home that invites you to settle in and breathe. (id:2493)More details
