Tucked against the Niagara Escarpment on a large rectangular lot with green space as your backyard, this beautifully updated 1,189 sq ft chalet delivers a surprisingly smart layout. The main floor flows effortlessly and packs in everything you need.Carpet-free and thoughtfully designed, the main level is anchored by a double-sided natural gas fireplace - warming both the open living room and the primary bedroom simultaneously. The living room opens directly onto a large deck, perfect for morning coffees or evening wind-downs, while the primary bedroom has its own bathroom & private deck - a true personal oasis. Rounding out the main floor: a galley kitchen with stainless steel appliances, butcher block counters & apron sink, dining nook, two full 4-piece bathrooms, and convenient main floor laundry. Two additional bedrooms upstairs make this an ideal layout for families, guests, or short-term rental income.Modern comfort is covered by a mini-split HVAC system for year-round heating and cooling, plus in-floor heating in the kitchen for that luxurious touch underfoot.Outside, the property is built for living - fire pit evenings, BBQ nights on a dedicated natural gas line, two storage sheds, a brand-new 100% Canadian cedar sauna, and a fully insulated, electricity-connected work bunkie ideal for remote work or creative pursuits. A durable metal roof, fresh Benjamin Moore exterior stain, and a cedar privacy fence complete the picture.Minutes from downtown Meaford, Thornbury, and the shores of Georgian Bay, with the Georgian Trail practically at your door. BONUS for investors: Meaford currently has zero short-term rental restrictions or licensing fees - making this one of Ontario's most compelling four-season Airbnb opportunities. (id:31684)
