1470 Queen St W

A creekside retreat framed by fall colour

Mature trees, a flowing creek and a hot tub on the covered porch set the scene for every season.

The lot is the star. Behind the house, a creek winds through mature trees, and you can see it from the dining room, the decks and the covered timber porch, where a hot tub waits beside the outdoor dining table. Inside, the family room pairs exposed beams and a stone fireplace with walls of windows. The sage-green kitchen has granite counters, a gas range and a long island with breakfast-bar seating, open to the dining area.

Village life is close at hand: stroll to the Alton Mill Arts Centre for galleries and cafés, or drive minutes to Forks of the Credit Provincial Park for trails.
