Welcome to 788 Hemlock Street - Carefree Living in Peterborough's desirable North End. Thoughtfully designed for those ready to move without compromise, this well-maintained detached, raised bungalow delivers the best of main-floor living on a spacious, private lot. This house checks every box for downsizers, retirees, young families and empty nesters looking for a truly move-in ready home. A unique architectural feature allows abundant natural light to flow between living areas on both floors. The cathedral ceiling on the main floor highlights the airiness of the home, with engineered hardwood flooring throughout both levels and tile in the bathrooms and foyer. With a primary bedroom conveniently located on the main level, you will enjoy the ease and comfort of single-floor living while still having room for family and guests. A patio door from the dining area onto the deck overlooks a landscaped garden with pond and a fenced yard. The fully finished basement adds two additional bedrooms - ideal for guests, a home office, or a hobby space - along with a second bathroom, giving everyone their own space when needed. The oversized single attached garage provides secure parking and extra storage. Extensive updates and diligent maintenance with no big ticket surprises will give the buyer confidence and peace of mind. The entirety of the original poly-b plumbing was removed and replaced with PEX by current owner. Pre-inspection available upon request.
