226 Carter Road — Detached

Set on over an acre just minutes from the amenities, schools, and Highway 401 access of Guelph's south end, 226 Carter Road in Puslinch offers the rare opportunity to enjoy peaceful country living without sacrificing convenience. Built by renowned Sloot Construction, this thoughtfully designed modern farmhouse blends timeless character with the functionality families seek today. Offering 4+1 bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms, and a versatile main floor den that could easily serve as a sixth bedroom or home office, the layout is designed for both everyday living and effortless entertaining. The main level is centred around gathering spaces, while the bedrooms remain a quiet retreat upstairs. Understated luxury is evident throughout, with hardwood floors, exceptional millwork, custom soft-close cabinetry, quartz countertops, and designer lighting. The gourmet kitchen is a true centrepiece, featuring chef-grade appliances including a 6-burner gas range, custom built-in hood, an oversized island, and a hidden walk-in pantry. It opens to a bright dining area with walkout to the expansive rear deck. The great room makes a striking impression with its soaring two-storey ceiling, floor-to-ceiling windows, and dramatic two-sided wood-burning fireplace with full-height stone surround, also known as a Mason's Furnace. Reclaimed barn beams add warmth and character to the space. Upstairs, the primary suite features a walk-in dressing room and private ensuite, while three additional bedrooms share a well-appointed family bathroom overlooking the great room below. The fully finished basement offers additional flexibility with a guest bedroom, full bathroom, and spacious recreation room with gas fireplace. Outside, the property provides endless possibilities-from gardens and bonfires to a future pool, skating rink, or even a small orchard. A truly special offering combining craftsmanship, space, and lifestyle in an exceptional setting.
