15 Bass Road

Description

Just south of the growing town of SmithsFalls on a tree lined country road you will find this Century stone farm home. Its perched on the high point of the cedar rail fenced, 4.29 acres of land that it has watched over for 110 plus years! The home is set back from the road on these tranquil acres, is surrounded by mature maples and farm hay fields. Take a moment to think about the horse that likely pulled a bucket to excavate for the homes stone foundation or the craftsmen that toiled to build it with chisels, axes all long before conventional tools were born into our current home builders trades. This home is an exceptional example of homestead that has been loved and improved over the years. You’ll appreciate that its stone masonry joints have been repointed, a metal roof has been installed, windows and doors have been replaced while maintaining the interiors deep wall character and period trim. The plumbing and electrical systems have been updated, there is a new furnace and energy efficient heat pump, the country kitchen was rebuilt and this home has been lovingly expanded to suite our modern life style requirements for more family spaces using a board and batten exterior to compliment the stone. Through the ornamental gates there is a separate 2 car garage, an updated septic system ( installed aprox 2012 ), a 24′ x 70′ insulated, heated hobby quonset building professionally built at the rear of the property for those that dream big with their hobbies. But it’s time for a new chapter to be added to its 110 year old story and for that, its now looking for a new family to call it home. Please take the time to explore the many photos for this 3 bedroom 2 bath home, its virtual tour and the attached home plan layout. Book a private showing, walk the grounds, sit on the deck, fall in love and add your chapter into this stone homes story.
