Overview
Description
SFormer Horse Farm on 1.9 Acres with Converted Barn/Garage Set on approximately 1.9 acres in River Ryan, this charming bungalow was once part of a former horse farm and offers space, privacy, and plenty of potential. The home features 2 bedrooms, 1 bath, a bright living room, kitchen, rear mudroom, municipal water, septic, oil forced-air heat, and a practical single-level layout. The current laundry room was formerly a third bedroom and could be easily converted back, giving buyers added flexibility for family, guests, or home office use. A standout feature is the former horse barn, now converted into a wired detached garage with loft space — ideal for storage, workshop use, studio space, or possible future conversion into an additional living unit, subject to municipal approvals. Outside, the property offers plenty of parking, a gravel driveway, rear deck, shed, partially cleared and treed land, and a back pasture area that still reflects its horse-farm roots. Vacant and available for quick possession, this is a great opportunity for buyers looking for a rural-style property with flexible outbuilding space and room to make it their own.
