Set in a wooded environment in Austin, this one-and-a-half-storey home stands out for its warm character and an interior where wood plays a prominent role. Hardwood floors extend throughout the main living spaces, while the open-concept layout naturally brings together the living room, dining room and kitchen. In the living room, the wood-burning fireplace serves as a true focal point. The renovated kitchen features a welcoming layout and extends to a discreet area behind closed doors that combines the laundry facilities with additional storage, providing practical space that can also be used as a pantry. The property offers three bedrooms as well as an office. The primary bedroom is located on the main floor, while two additional bedrooms are found upstairs. A second wood-burning fireplace is located in the office, which also benefits from its own private entrance, creating a comfortable space for working from home or adapting to the occupants' needs. The property has undergone several improvements over the years, including updates to the kitchen and bathroom, flooring and main staircase. Additional work was completed in 2023--2024, allowing the home to evolve while preserving its original character. Outside, the wooded lot of more than 12,600 sq. ft. offers privacy and views of Lake Orford. The spa provides an opportunity to enjoy the surroundings throughout the seasons, while the detached garage adds valuable space for parking and storage. Two separate areas are also dedicated to firewood storage: one enclosed shed and one open shed, particularly practical given the home's two wood-burning fireplaces. Here, the character of the home and its wooded surroundings come together in a peaceful setting, close to everything Austin and the surrounding region have to offer.
