Set on almost two acres with frontage along the Grand River, 265 West River Road offers a rare opportunity to enjoy riverfront living in one of Cambridge's most desirable settings. The Craftsman-inspired bungalow was thoughtfully designed to embrace its surroundings, the home balances generous, light-filled living spaces with the warmth and character of natural stone, rich wood finishes, and timeless architectural details. At the heart of the home, the open-concept great room features soaring wood-clad ceilings, exposed timber beams, expansive windows, and a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace. The custom kitchen and spacious dining area flow seamlessly together, creating an inviting space for everyday living, family gatherings, and entertaining. Large windows and sliding doors throughout the principal living areas maintain a constant connection to the surrounding landscape and open onto an expansive covered deck overlooking the property. The bungalow layout offers the convenience of a main-floor primary suite, complemented by two additional bedrooms, four bathrooms, and a bright walkout lower level that provides exceptional flexibility for recreation, entertaining, or accommodating guests. A geothermal heating and cooling system provides year-round comfort with exceptional energy efficiency. Outside, mature trees, expansive lawns, and Grand River frontage create a setting that is both private and peaceful. Whether enjoying a morning coffee on the deck, launching a canoe from your own property, or simply appreciating the changing seasons, the connection to nature is woven into everyday life. From quiet mornings overlooking the grounds to afternoons spent on the river, this is a property designed to be enjoyed in every season. Offering the setting and lifestyle many seek in a cottage, together with the comfort and convenience of home, 265 West River Road presents a rare opportunity to enjoy both in one exceptional property.
