The Bigger Picture
The pretty brick bungalow at 295 Days Road overlooks seemingly endless farm fields and birds’ flight paths. In the distance is a dense copse of maple and oak, the odd hickory, in which deer plot the week’s agenda. A creek and marsh run left to right too, abundant with heron and pike, but those are a good mile off. There is not a single house to be seen.
It is this extraordinary view that elevates the house. What might simply hit in another setting as merely well-executed and very good value, is suddenly unmissable.
The living room windows run full-width and make art of the landscape. As if you won the lottery and bought yourself a quiet Burtynsky,
The back wall of the second bedroom has been removed (!) to create a formal (and very sensible, it seems to me) dining room, and the kitchen has copper backsplashes the colour of a Saint-Tropez tan. There is a sunroom addition at the back of the house with a clever breakfast bar and exposed brick, and this is next to extensive covered decking. The principal bedroom is off on its own, a deeply quiet, serene space with another view of the farm.
The lower level is well-finished, with an inviting rec room with gas fireplace, a sewing room, laundry, and a good spare bedroom.
There is a detached garage at the end of the long driveway, a workshop behind that, and even two good sheds.
As I said at the top, it’s splendid value in a hard-to-match location, close to all the west end conveniences.
