Tucked along a quiet, tree-lined street in Old Elora, this inviting home offers a rare chance to live steps from Elora Public School, the Elora Cataract Trail, and the Elora Quarry. Set on a fully treed lot with mature landscaping, the property combines natural privacy with one of the village's most walkable locations. The nearby Elora Cataract Trail offers kilometres of scenic walking and cycling right from your doorstep. Whether a morning stroll, evening ride, or summer afternoon at the quarry, the outdoors become part of everyday life. Inside, large windows fill the home with natural light, creating a bright, welcoming atmosphere reminiscent of cottage living. The main floor features multiple living areas, including a front sitting room and a spacious eat-in kitchen with generous counters, excellent storage, and a cedar-lined pantry. An interior opening connects the kitchen to the sunken living room, keeping the spaces linked while maintaining visual separation. The dining room flows seamlessly into the sunken living room, where huge windows on two sides and a sliding door to the deck and swim spa/hot tub fill the space with light and effortlessly connect indoor and outdoor living. Outside, the backyard is made for both relaxation and entertaining. A 19-foot swim spa with independently operated pool and hot tub allows year-round enjoyment. Nearby, a four-season bunkie (2022) with cedar-lined ceilings sits beside a concrete patio and stone fireplace - perfect for hosting and unwinding. The gardens, designed by a botanist, feature mature plantings for privacy and seasonal interest, plus a dedicated vegetable garden. The finished basement adds flexible living space with a rec room and a full bathroom, plus an attached single-car garage offers storage and room for a workshop or hobby area - truly space for everything. Bright, welcoming, and full of character, this distinctive Old Elora home offers privacy, charm, and an exceptional location.
