Property Description
Looking for a cottage-style home on over half an acre with privacy and homesteading potential? This could be the one! The expansive property is fully fenced and features a powered entry gate, providing plenty of space to garden, entertain, play, and enjoy the outdoors. Established fruit-bearing trees, fruiting vines, raised garden beds, composting areas, and large patios create an ideal setting for a self-sufficient lifestyle. A former well also remains on the property and may provide an additional option for outdoor watering. The manageable home allows you to spend less time on upkeep and more time enjoying the property. Inside, you’ll find three bedrooms, two full bathrooms, and plenty of additional space in the basement. A wood-burning stove was added to the basement in 2023, creating a warm and inviting space with flexible possibilities. Numerous improvements have already been completed, including a new HVAC system in 2023, roof and electrical breaker panel in 2024, and an updated tankless water heater. The kitchen was refreshed in 2026 with new cabinets and countertops, while all kitchen appliances have been replaced within the past five years. Additional 2026 updates include a smart toilet, vanity, and mirror in the main-floor bathroom; a new vanity and mirror in the upper-level bathroom; a new front door; and refreshed front landscaping. With its cottage charm, generous grounds, established gardens, and extensive improvements, 1705 Centreville Avenue offers a rare opportunity to enjoy space, flexibility, and homesteader-inspired living.
