Property Description
Energy efficiency is not an afterthought at 12 Governors Lake Drive. This well maintained three bedroom, two and a half bathroom link home is ahead of the curve with a fully paid solar system, EV charger, heat pumps and several thoughtful upgrades throughout. The bright main level features a spacious living room with a charming built in window seat, a convenient powder room and an eat in kitchen with patio doors leading to the large 16 by 12 deck. The backyard is bigger than you might expect, with plenty of room for children, dogs, gardens or a good old fashioned fire around the firepit. It also includes a 10 by 10 shed and backs onto a greenbelt for added privacy. Upstairs are three bedrooms and a renovated full bathroom, while the finished lower level adds a generous recreation room, three piece bathroom, office, laundry and plenty of storage. The major improvements have already been handled, including heat pumps and a new hot water tank in 2021, the living room window seat in 2023, a new roof in 2024, and the solar system and EV charger in 2025. The paved driveway provides parking for several vehicles. Located in the popular Governors Glen community, residents enjoy public access to Governors Lake for swimming, paddling and winter skating. You are also just minutes from Bayers Lake, highway access, local amenities and golf at The Links at Brunello. Comfortable, practical and impressively efficient, this is a move in ready home with the space, upgrades and location to make everyday life a little easier.
