Set on a level 1.2-acre lot just beyond the edge of Perth, this thoughtfully renovated 1.5 storey home offers a rare opportunity to live and work in one place. Warm and welcoming, the move-in-ready residence features fresh flooring, new paint, and beautifully updated bathrooms. The spacious eat-in kitchen, complete with an oversized pantry, feels like the heart of the home-perfect for family meals or morning coffee before heading out to the shop. The main floor also includes a large, light-filled living and dining room, ideal for entertaining or relaxing with family, and a full bathroom. Upstairs, three comfortable bedrooms and another full bath provide plenty of room for a growing household. A full-height unfinished basement adds generous storage or potential for a workshop or additional living space. Recent updates to the home include re-shingling of the house and shed in 2016 and a new gas furnace and electric hot water tank in the house in 2022. Beside the home, a versatile commercial building, formerly rented to a successful antique shop, offers high visibility and steady road traffic from locals and cottagers alike. Heated and powered, it includes a single bay door, with the option to reopen two more, making it easy to convert into a multi-bay workshop or studio. A new steel roof was installed on the commercial building in 2021. The deep, wide backyard invites endless possibilities: a pool, vegetable garden, or fenced-in space for kids and pets. Located just outside the town limits, the property benefits from lower taxes and more flexible zoning. It's less than ten minutes from the Rideau Ferry boat launch. Whether you're a craftsman, entrepreneur, or other small business owner, this is a place to build both a business and a home. You'll be surrounded by the calm rhythm of cottage country, yet close to the vibrant and welcoming community of Perth. (id:2493)
