Escape the city without leaving it behind. 144 Ruth Street sits at the quiet end of a dead end road in Beckwith Township, on a private lot lined with mature trees and bordered by marshland. With no neighbours to the rear or on either side, what you get here is space, quiet, and a setting that stays exactly as you found it. Private beach access is a short walk from the door. Summers are for swimming and boating, winters for skating and ice fishing, and the water is close enough to enjoy year round rather than seasonally. The bungalow is bright and welcoming, with windows on every side and a position on the lot that pulls light in from morning through evening. Both bedrooms and the recently renovated bathroom are on the main floor, and two separate living areas, one of them a generous family room, give you the flexibility to set up a proper home office or den. Fibre internet is connected and ready. A screened sunroom and covered porches at the front and back are made for slow mornings and long evenings outdoors. The home is livable now, with a septic and a wood stove for heat still to be installed and work ahead throughout. The upside is a place you can finish to your own taste, in a setting that is far harder to find than a renovation. The detached garage fits a vehicle with workshop space ahead of it, and the oversized driveway wraps around the garage with plenty of room to park. Sitting right on the edge of town, you are a short distance from Carleton Place shopping, restaurants, and services while paying Beckwith township taxes. Highway 7 is 4 minutes away at the other end of the street, putting downtown Ottawa within roughly 35 minutes. Privacy, water access, and room to make it your own, all within an easy commute.
