Welcome to The Hemford Craftsman, a beautifully restored country retreat where heritage charm meets modern comfort. Situated on approximately 1.8 acres in the peaceful community of Hemford, this distinctive property has long been a local landmark and has been extensively renovated with exceptional attention to detail. The home offers 1,188 sq. ft. of finished living space featuring rich hardwood floors, handcrafted wood trim, vaulted pine ceilings, and a warm, inviting layout. The custom kitchen, built by a local craftsman, showcases butcher-block countertops, an island, pantry storage, and direct access to the expansive rear deck. The living room is anchored by a stunning floor-to-ceiling stone hearth with a WETT-certified wood stove. Two bedrooms, including a spacious primary with a walk-in closet, are complemented by a bright upper-level bathroom with beautiful meadow and pond views. Outside, enjoy a screened front porch, a massive new pressure-treated rear deck, mature landscaping, fruit trees, perennial gardens, open meadow views, and a backyard fire pit perfect for relaxing evenings. The detached insulated two-bay garage offers finished interior space, storage, and 220-volt service. Above, a beautifully finished flex space adds nearly 500 sq. ft. and includes its own entrance, kitchenette, sink, and laundry hookups, making it ideal for guests, a home office, studio, or potential in-law suite. Extensive upgrades include framing, insulation, drywall, plumbing, electrical and panel, septic tank, high-efficiency heat pump, windows, doors, trim, interior and exterior paint, and professionally tested well water with excellent pressure. Additional features include solar panels with battery backup and Bell Fibre Internet, providing modern convenience and the tranquility of country living. Thoughtfully restored and truly move-in ready, The Hemford Craftsman offers a rare opportunity to own a unique property where character, quality, and lifestyle come together.
