Welcome to 517 Shortreed in the convenient south end of Fergus. This wonderful family home is both large enough for the whole family yet has a cozy feel - over 2400 finished sq ft! All the important updates have been done, including the steel roof and eavestroughs in 2018 and the furnace in 2020. The main floor features newer durable vinyl flooring, an updated eat-in kitchen, and a spacious family room with lots of natural light. Beyond the kitchen there is hardwood in the dining room or office, with a gas fireplace. The newer patio doors open up to an amazing, fully fenced backyard oasis, with a poured concrete patio, featuring an inground pool with new liner, heater and filter pump, with 10 year transferrable warranty. Bring on the summer! The two piece bathroom on the main floor has also been updated. Upstairs, find a primary bedroom with ensuite privilege, a walk-in closet for her and a separate closet for him. The new patio doors lead to a charming deck overlooking the backyard and pool. The four piece bathroom has a soaker tub and separate shower. Two more bedrooms with plenty of closet space as well as a huge hallway closet - this house has so much storage! In the basement, find enough room for the whole family to relax, either together or separately. Need space for a home gym, the hockey equipment, a games room AND a rec room? No problem! The basement has over 850 finished square feet. Outside, the carport offers more storage and an ideal spot for a car that won't need scraping off in the winter months. And let's revisit that backyard through the wooden gate..The huge shed is ideal for storage, or even chickens. The kidney shaped pool will provide hours of entertainment for the whole family, with lots of room on the patio for sitting in the shade under the upper deck, or BBQing and dining al fresco. All of this steps to all the amenities, parks, trails, schools, highway access and more!
