Description

Welcome to this mid-century Swiss Chalet A-frame with 2,193 sq ft of finished space, 4 beds, and 2 full baths. Set in a desirable Bridgewater neighborhood close to schools, parks, and shopping, this unique property blends timeless character with a beautifully renovated lower level. The main level features a grand Living Room with soaring timber beams, cedar cathedral ceilings, and a brick fireplace with a wood stove insert. Beautiful cedar spiral staircases serve as a stunning focal point, tying the levels together. The kitchen has warm birch cabinetry and flows into a bright dining zone. From the main-floor bedroom, slide open the doors to a large covered back deck extending the full length of the home. A full bath completes this level. Upstairs, the loft boasts two whimsical A-frame bedrooms with unique lines and custom tongue-and-groove cedar. The walk-out lower level has been completely redone! Fully insulated for peak efficiency, it features all-new framing, flooring, electrical, and natural lumber ceilings. The sprawling lower bedroom is a private retreat featuring a second brick fireplace with a wood stove insert. This level offers a new 4-piece bath, laundry room, direct access to the attached garage, and a den with a floor drain for ideal kitchenette potential. Offering unparalleled convenience and safety, the home features 7 independent exits/entrances, including a dedicated lower exterior door and main walk-out. This versatile layout provides seamless potential to easily convert the lower level into an independent family suite or second unit. Outside, the fenced backyard is beautifully framed by a dense row of tall, slender cedar trees for ultimate privacy. Enjoy comfort with three separate heating sources: an oil furnace, electric baseboards, and two wood fireplaces. This exceptionally rare find is a must-see for buyers seeking stand-out architectural character, multi-generational living, or second-unit potential.
