4806 49 Avenue, Rochester, AB T0G1Z0

Located in the quiet hamlet of Rochester, only 30 minutes south of Athabasca and an hour north of St. Albert, this updated home sits on half an acre, the largest lot in the community, without the demands of rural acreage life. The living room opens to a deck with an unobstructed view of the treed valley. It is the kind of view that makes you stop and just sit for a while. Inside, the kitchen has been thoughtfully updated with quartz countertops, a large island with a breakfast bar and sink, and a commercial stainless steel fridge that stays with the property, ideal for anyone who hunts and likes to process their own meat. Two bedrooms plus a dedicated office, and a full bathroom with a custom walk-in shower. Major systems like windows, furnace, hot water tank, roof insulation and exterior, have all been updated; some within the last 10 years. Crawlspace provides utility access and storage. The half-acre lot (200x120) has a garden area and room to build a garage. Municipal sewer. Cistern water supply. Rochester has a seniors centre and community hall, a lot of heart for such a small community. If you want the feel of country living without the acreage workload, this is worth a look.
