9 Sutton Drive, Edwardsburgh/Cardinal

Tucked on a quiet, paved street in the heart of Johnstown, this proudly maintained 5-bedroom home offers the breathing room of semi-rural living without sacrificing convenience. Highway 416 and 401 are minutes away, putting Brockville, Prescott, and the U.S. border within easy reach - a commuter's sweet spot between small-town charm and open-road freedom.The main floor welcomes you with a bright L-shaped kitchen featuring a long cooking counter plus an added counter and cupboard run for serious prep space, all anchored by a generous eat-in area with a sunny window. Three comfortable bedrooms include a spacious primary with a closet spanning the full length of the room. A full bathroom with tub and shower completes the floor. Step outside to the screened-in deck - the size of a carport - perfect for warm evenings outdoors, completely sheltered from the elements and the mosquitoes.Downstairs is where this home truly surprises. In recent years, the basement was stripped to the poured concrete and rebuilt properly - permits pulled, professionals hired, every detail considered. DriCore subfloor keeps things warm underfoot, and noise-and-fire insulation in the ceiling gives the lower level real privacy from the main floor. Two bright bedrooms with fire-exit windows, a modern 3-piece bathroom, a kitchenette, family room, laundry, and a cozy crafting nook. It feels like a home within a home.The mechanicals match the care put into everything else: new sump pump, water softener, iron, sulphur and UV water treatment, a replaced hot water tank, and a full septic system upgrade. The widened driveway fits six vehicles. Out back, a renovated 10x12 shed - with new siding, flooring, and wide doors - keeps everything organized on this generous half-acre lot, with plenty of room to garden, play, or simply enjoy the outdoors. The recreation centre with its outdoor pool, tennis courts, and baseball fields is just steps away.This one has been done right, and it shows.
