Down a hidden laneway, a bold Scandinavian inspired 4-bedroom, 4-bathroom bungalow rises from the forest - with nearly 3,000 sq. ft. of finished living space and a separate basement entrance with in-law capability. Completed in 2021, this home blends modern sophistication with the quiet grace of country living in a prime Puslinch location - a lifestyle unthinkable of this close to the city. The exterior combines black brick, board-and-batten, and sleek aluminum siding, while expansive floor-to-ceiling windows frame sweeping woodland views. Inside, ceilings soar from 9 to 14 ft. in the vaulted living/dining area and a proper foyer greets you. A sunken living room, anchored by a wood-burning fireplace, is complemented by engineered oak hardwood floors and custom maple cabinetry. The chefs kitchen features built-in appliances, a panelled fridge and dishwasher, solid-slab quartz backsplashes, an oversized dining island with dual-sided storage, and an integrated workstation. The primary suite offers double sinks, a volcanic limestone tub, curbless shower with dual shower heads, floor-to-ceiling tile, and a private water closet. Two additional main-floor bedrooms share a 6-piece bath, alongside a stylish powder room. The finished lower level, with garage and walk-up access, includes a bedroom, bathroom, office, and open living/dining space with roughed-in kitchen plumbing ideal for an in-law suite or guest retreat plus 800 sq. ft. unfinished for future plans. Outdoors, enjoy a composite deck, covered aggregate porch, chicken coop, vegetable garden, fire-pit area and kilometres of private ATV/walking trails. Prime agricultural zoning and the Managed Forestry Program keep taxes low, while a full air exchange system and UV water filtration enhance comfort. An oversized, extra-deep two-car garage provides ample room for vehicles and recreational equipment. The kind of place where the world disappears the second you arrive, just 10 minutes to south Guelph, Milton and the 401.
