Almost $200k worth of upgrades have been added in the last year, including a regrarded and redone backyard with a swim spa featuring a power cover, a composite deck and fence, a 150,000 BTU built-in gas fireplace, and heated floors in both the garage and basement. This absolute showstopper is a custom log home located in Embro, a small community with all the amenities, less than 15 minutes from Woodstock, 20 minutes to Stratford, and 35 minutes to London. Situated on 0.6 acres with mature trees and a private backyard, the home offers a serene retreat. The garage is extra deep, accommodating parking for three vehicles with additional storage and a third garage door leading to the backyard. Enjoy a full wrap-around composite front porch, a fully finished walk-out basement, and a private back deck sitting area. Inside, the home exudes a cozy log cabin atmosphere with plenty of windows and a 20-foot great room that floods the space with natural light. The main floor features a primary bedroom with a walk-in closet and a cheater en-suite bathroom with a clawfoot soaker tub. The open kitchen boasts granite counters and ample space, including main floor laundry. Ascend the custom log staircase to an upstairs loft area with a large bedroom, walk-in closet, cheater en-suite with a walk-in shower, and an office loft area that could be enclosed to create additional bedrooms. The finished basement includes an additional bedroom with a walk-in closet and en-suite bathroom featuring a soaker tub. Additional upgrades include a steel roof, a stone gas fireplace, and cherry hardwood floors. This custom, well-thought-out home offers a true cottage lifestyle. (id:47421)
