"Slow Down"

The tranquility and beauty of a quiet Southwestern Ontario rural setting, coupled with a mere 10 minute drive into Waterloo and the modern and diverse amenities of the big city – it turns out you don’t need to sacrifice either by putting down roots in St. Agatha!  1693 Erb’s Road is a stunning Waterloo County century-plus farmhouse, built originally in 1890 but brought into the 21^st Century with remarkable style.  Sitting on a nearly 1.3 acre parcel of land, this beautiful home has been updated from top to bottom and is ready to be cherished by its next owners.  Stepping inside, you’re greeted immediately by welcoming neutral tones, tasteful contemporary décor and plenty of bright, natural lighting.  A main floor living room lies immediately off the foyer on one side, while the other leads visitors directly into the spectacular kitchen and dinette – a massive space for both big celebrations or intimate family dinners, clad by dark granite countertops, hexagonal tile backsplash and oodles of pristine white custom cabinetry.  Just beyond the kitchen is a full main floor bathroom – providing some flexibility to busy families and easing the burden of an early morning rush.  Towards the back of the home, one cannot miss the sophisticated family room addition with skylights, gas fireplace and vaulted ceilings; overlooking a massive yard, lending access to the mudroom and garage, and finally sliding out to the covered portion of the rear deck.  The upper level is home to three brilliantly lit bedrooms, including your master with ensuite privilege.  The hallway’s standout feature is a built in bench seat with plenty of storage underneath, set beneath a nod to this home’s rural heritage in the form of a lovely church window.  The partially finished basement boasts a bonus fourth bedroom, and walks out to a sub-garage workshop which in turn leads out to the garage proper with its own hydro hook-up.  This smart home also features a Nest thermostat and Lumitron lighting throughout!
