A House For Your Shopping List
A new year sometimes results in a new outlook and therefore a new residence.
If this is the year you may be considering a shift to a one-floor-plan ranch (more than 1200 sq ft) or large bungalow, your destination could be 251 Ferguson Drive in Woodstock. There's many reasons to consider.
Is this the time for you to delve -- 2012 -- into a new place to call 'home'.
Often families believe they need to reside in a 2-storey home, but smaller families should/could consider a large ranch.
Consider this -- on the market (MLS: 68-080) in the south neighbourhood of Woodstock and close to the city's brand new hospital, is 251 Ferguson.
With about 1400 sq ft on its main level and a full 2-car garage, this is not a small bungalow.
The list of ingredients automatically creates a large home -- 3 bedrooms, including ensuite (5pc with two sinks) and walk-in closet to master bedroom, living-dining room combination, an eat-in kitchen with dinette area providing view of valley and golf course, and a main-floor family room.
Two Patio Doors
The family room has hardwood flooring and a gas fireplace with stunning stone mantel. There are two patio doors to raised wood deck.
Even at the front door, you are greeted with brightness as a skylight assists the bright decor. This house was also built with wider hallways and other assistive features for someone with specific mobility concerns.
The living-dining room is 24' feet long -- lots of area for that formal setting and entertaining.
The kitchen includes oak cabinetry aplenty and a peninsula work space terrific for someone who is a baker or simply a convenient place to place food for that special family buffet dinner.
The raised deck here also provides for a panoramic view of southeast Woodstock. Ferguson Drive is set above the city with Hodgins Crescent below it in topography, then Lindsay Road, and finally the Cedar Creek golf course. Therefore, the home has a view of a golf course and beyond.
The lower level includes a large L-shaped recroom with another gas fireplace. There is also a walkout to the backyard. The 4th bedroom, which is quite large, is found in the basement and provides ample space for an at-home office if that is what it is utilized as.
Basement also includes a workshop, which could be renovated for at-home work as there is a door to the outside (another walkout), which could be client/customer access.
The closing day can be flexible. Be sure to visit this ranch soon, if you're shopping list suggests a one-floor plan main living space. The layout is ideal because the bedrooms (for privacy) are down a hallway.
Everyone has seen those new-style bungalow that have a bedroom at the front door. Many people do not like that plan.
Location Location . . .
The location of 251 Ferguson is particularly important as south Woodstock has many new and newer homes, but very rarely a ranch of this size. This area includes the new state-of-the-art hospital (opened its doors in November), but also is highlighted by Southside Park and pool, community complex with 2 arenas and a gymnastics centre, box mall shopping (Wal-Mart, Staples, Canadian Tire, Reitmans, Winners, Home Depot, No Frills, etc) and countless restaurants (McDonald's, Boston Pizza, Montana's, Kelsey's, East Side Mario's, Burger King, A&W, Wendy's, Harvey's, Swiss Chalet, etc), 2 high schools, 2 elementary schools, 3 hotels, the Cedar Creek 9-hole -- but challenging -- golf course, and maybe most importantly is the quick 401/403 access for commuters.
