Overview
Description
Good energy is hard to come by these days so when you stumble upon a home like 699 Marsh Rd in Thorburn, you jump! This 2 bed, (could be 3 easily), 1bath home is ready for its next chapter. Lovingly built in 1976 and occupied by the same owners ever since. Bright, spacious with a great tall basement. I could easily see more bedrooms, rec room being renovated into the basement to expand square footage. Set on 3 acres surrounded by good neighbours, room to breath is wonderful. Some new paint, a brand new stove and more updates take the ease off your piggy bank. There is much to love here at 699 Marsh Rd.
