When you picture Merrickville, you think of charm. The winding river, the arts and culture, the warm community, the kind of place that feels like home the moment you arrive. Now imagine yourself here-waking up to the sound of birdsong, gazing out across the water as the light changes by the hour each view more inspiring than the last. This isn't just a property; it's a rare jewel that captures everything people love about Merrickville. Welcome to a home rebuilt from the ground up with vision, care, and heart. Purchased for the lands undeniable beauty, what once stood as a cottage has been transformed into a warm, timeless residence. Salvaged hardwood floors carry stories of the past, while a wood-burning stove adds a touch of cozy comfort. Sunlight pours through windows carefully placed to frame the natural world outside, while a wrap-around porch invites you to slow down, breathe, and truly take it all in. Inside, the main floor flows gracefully from the living room to the dining area, creating a welcoming space that shines during family gatherings and holiday celebrations. The kitchen is both stylish and practical, with marble countertops, a gas stove, and a thoughtful layout that makes cooking a joy. Right off the kitchen, the screened-in porch is the ideal place to take in river views, unwind with a glass of wine, or dive into a good book. Upstairs, three inviting bedrooms offer breathtaking views of the surrounding nature - spaces that inspire creativity, calm, and connection every single day. A spacious, well-appointed bathroom completes this level. This home is a perfect jewel. Its thoughtful design, its warmth, and the way it makes you feel the moment you walk through the door. Unique, irreplaceable, and ready for its next chapter, this home embodies heart and soul. And with the heart of Merrickville just a 5-minute drive away, you're never far from charming shops, dining, and culture. The only thing missing is you...
