Tucked into sought after Chaloa Acres, this remarkable stone home feels as though it belongs in another era. Climbing ivy, mature surroundings and an impressive sense of scale give it an almost storybook quality, while extensive updates have made it beautifully suited to modern family life. Offering more than 3,200 sq. ft., the home was made for gathering. The renovated white kitchen is an entertainer's dream with quartz counters, two sinks, two dishwashers, wine fridge, Whirlpool appliances, coffee station, a mix of solid and glass-front cabinetry and an enormous peninsula with seating for six. Oak engineered hardwood carries into a truly grand dining room with space to comfortably seat 18, setting the scene for long dinners, holidays and a house full of family and friends. The sunroom offers a quieter escape and opens to a huge deck overlooking the peaceful, tree-lined yard. In the living room, a wood-burning fireplace and views of the winding oak staircase create one of the home's most memorable spaces. A powder room is conveniently located near the main entrance, while a separate entrance into the mudroom provides easy access between the home and attached double garage. Upstairs, the expansive primary suite includes an ensuite and sizeable walk-in closet, alongside an office or flex room, a second bedroom and an incredible oversized bedroom above the garage. The finished lower level offers a living area, two additional flex rooms, full bathroom, laundry, storage and plenty of room for guests. The home has been beautifully updated over several years, with the kitchen, flooring, most windows, A/C, added ductwork and finished basement completed in 2020, a new deck in 2023, fresh paint throughout from 2020-2025, and a new furnace and garage door in 2026. Quiet, peaceful and surrounded by nature, Chaloa Acres offers a wonderful place to put down roots, just minutes from Perth, Smiths Falls, lakes, parks and shopping, with Ottawa within easy reach.
