Welcome to 13897 County Road 2, a well-maintained three bedroom bungalow just four minutes east of the Town of Colbourne in the rural community of Salem – Cramahe Township, Northumberland County.
Set on approximately 1.4 acres of land, this home has a long driveway and a single car garage; a concrete walkway to the covered front porch and entrance; as well as perennials gardens, evergreens and shrubs throughout the property – while the backyard has a cedar tree line on the west side; an aggregate concrete patio off the lower level walk-out; a second patio area with a metal gazebo at the rear of the property; a fire pit; a storage shed; as well as vegetable and herb gardens. The home also has a wrap-around covered deck enjoying south and east views, and which is accessible from the side yard and from the kitchen area.
The main level features ceramic flooring in the sunken foyer, the kitchen and laundry rooms, as well as its two washrooms – and laminate flooring flows throughout the living and dining rooms, the hallway, and into the two bedrooms. The foyer has a double coat closet and a carpeted staircase to the lower level, and the laundry room – found off the kitchen – has a front load washer and dryer, storage cabinets and a broom closet, as well as access into the garage.
The living and dining rooms share an open concept design, with oversized north- and west-facing windows filling these spaces with natural light, while a classic light fixture additionally brightens the dining area. Across from the dining room is the updated kitchen, which showcases white cabinetry with molded uppers, re-faced doors and drawers, and great storage (the pantry has pull-out interior drawers!); a subway-tiled back splash; white appliances (fridge, stove, dishwasher); a stainless steel extra-deep under mount sink; and quartz counters – and the breakfast area has south- and east-facing windows and a walk-out onto the wrap-around deck.
The second bedroom on the main level has a double closet and overlooks the backyard – and the common use 4-pc washroom features a vanity with quartz counter and under mount basin; a ceramic-tiled bath/shower area with a soaker tub and corner glass storage shelves; and a linen closet. The master bedroom also overlooks the backyard; has a walk-in closet; and its ensuite washroom features a linen closet, a vanity with quartz counter and under mount basin, a ceramic-tiled bath/shower area with a 6’ soaker tub and a wall storage niche.
The finished lower level has a large furnace/storage room, plus an additional storage room, as well as two storage closets. There are two separate recreation spaces (both carpeted) – the one directly off the staircase landing offers a quiet sitting/conversation area, has a niche perfect as a computer/study nook, and is open to a room that is well-suited a hobby or play area. A French door entry separates this room from the second recreation area – which is quite generous in size, is finished with wainscoting, has a walk-out to the backyard, and is ideal for entertaining, especially during the summer months. The lower level is complete with a bonus room that is suitable as a bright bedroom, and which directly accesses a washroom with vinyl plank flooring, a corner glass shower, and a contemporary vanity with a faux marble counter and an under mount basin – and both the bedroom and the washroom have oversized above grade windows.
