About this home

Reduced! Motivated Sellers! Now that fall is here and cooler nights are right around the corner, wouldn't it be awesome to relax in your very own hot tub? Covered from the elements and with an outdoor shower right there, you could be in your own little slice of heaven! Welcome to this charming one-level home located on one of Canterbury’s most beautiful roads! This well-cared-for 2+ bedroom, 1.5-bath home offers plenty of comfortable living space, including a finished, basement family room, bonus room (currently being used as a third bedroom), and half-bath all situated on over a half acre, level lot along lovely and quiet Shaker Road. The current homeowners have taken great pride in this property, with thoughtful upgrades including solar (look at the listing docs to see how low your energy costs are!), a newer furnace, blown-in attic insulation, a water treatment system, and point-of-use reverse osmosis. Additionally, the homeowners have added newer appliances, and bathroom features; including an automatic on/off bathroom sink. The spacious 24'x15' covered deck is perfect for relaxing, entertaining, or enjoying the peaceful surroundings, and there is parking for up to six+ vehicles, plus 6 more in the backyard. Mature fruit trees, raised gardening beds, and an outdoor shower (with HOT water!) add to this home’s charm! No maintenance items have been overlooked. You will be so happy and comfortable here, you may never want to leave. But in case you do, it is located in the Sherwood Forest Shores Community, where residents enjoy access to both New Pond and Lyford Pond, with three beaches, and opportunities for canoeing, kayaking, and ice fishing. With no motorized boats allowed, the ponds remain peaceful and quiet. The Community is staffed by a volunteer committee, which maintains the road and sponsors an annual Children's Fishing Derby. This is a wonderful home with great updates, outdoor space, and plenty of opportunities to make it your own. Quick Close Possible.
