About this home

A piece of Canadian history with a view. Built in 1900, this solid brick two-storey home has the presence and curb appeal of another era, beautifully complemented by 3.2 acres of serene countryside. Inside, nine well-proportioned rooms showcase the craftsmanship of the period, with original-style wood mouldings & high ceilings that honour the home's heritage while offering comfortable modern living. At the front of the home, the stunning architect-designed solarium and elevated deck create an extraordinary place to pause and take in the countryside through panoramic views. Or write the all-Canadian novel here while enjoying the ever-changing rural landscape. Step outside from the upper hall onto the deck-your own private "widow's walk"-and settle in with a coffee, a glass of wine or your favourite book. The formal living and dining rooms open from the original front hall, while the side-entry foyer leads to a room affectionately known as the "teacher's room"-a wonderful space for a home office, study or creative retreat. A large utility room provides plenty of practical storage, with laundry, cupboards and direct entry to the two-car garage. This room would work well for home schooling or crafting. Further into the family area is the functional kitchen overlooking a family room with ambient gas stove. Upstairs, a spacious modern bathroom with deep soaker tub adds contemporary comfort, while the walk-up attic offers exciting potential for future finished living space in addition to the three bedrooms. And there's an added bonus that is both practical and environmentally minded: the included ground-mounted solar panel system generates monthly income through the sale of electricity to Hydro One. Historic character, thoughtful addition, open skies and 3.2 acres of countryside-this is a home with a story, and plenty of room for yours to continue.
