Description

WHERE THE LILACS BLOOM AND THE CHILDREN GROW UP. Owen Sound, Ontario - The house you promised them. You did not outgrow the city. The city outgrew you. The sirens. The scramble. The commute that stole your evenings. You were ready for a different soundtrack. This is the one. A three-bedroom, four-bathroom family home with over 2500 sq feet of finished space, on a quiet street where kids still learn to ride their bikes without a helmet lecture. Where the dog runs free in a backyard that feels like a secret garden, where your morning coffee happens on a beautiful wooden deck, and your afternoon retreat happens in a 10x10 moveable sunroom that chases the shade. The gardens are not landscaping. They are a storybook. Raised beds, a paver path, a hand-built wooden bridge, and perennial beds the previous owners spent years restoring. Lilacs in May. Fireflies in July. Toy-story clouds for slow mornings you forgot were possible. Inside: The master suite is its own retreat, stone fireplace, ensuite bathroom, and treetop views. Two bedrooms upstairs, plus a finished lower-level bedroom with its own bathroom, perfect for guests, teenagers, or the in-laws who just became your best babysitters. The kitchen was renovated in 2015, new addition in 2014 and the garage roof with new shingles in 2022. This is not a fixer-upper. This is a move-in-and-live life. The neighborhood: Elementary and high school are minutes away. Parks are down the road. Downtown Owen Sound, restaurants, art galleries, Saturday markets you won't want to miss. The Georgian Bay waterfront is twelve minutes by car. Kids' sports, community hockey, soccer teams. This is a town where the crossing guard knows your dog's name. You did not leave the city to be alone. You left to be known. Come walk the garden. Bring the kids. There is a wooden bridge to find.
