Property Description

Every house tells a story. Built in 1873 as a Methodist meeting place, this original red brick structure was a place of worship until the congregation was united with the Metcalfe churches in 1925. The building became a private residence in 1929 with changes to the interior including the addition of a mezzanine to allow for bedrooms and baths. In the 1950s with the building of Highway 31, the original carriage house was torn down and replaced with an attached stone, two car garage. By the 1980s the new and present day owners carved out additional living space in the attic and embraced the architectural features of the original meeting hall leaving attic floor joists exposed and showcasing the original pine floors. A gathering place at its roots, this handsome home is now yours to discover. A spacious foyer with a coat closet tucked neatly under the stairs opens to a gracious living room with original pine floors and gas fireplace with built-in bookcases. On the opposite side of the foyer, the dining room can accommodate family and friendslarge or small. A pocket door to the kitchen keeps the room private. Extending across the back of the house, the kitchen boasts easy access to a main floor laundry, desk area and water closet. Also from the kitchen, ingress to the two car garage and cellar. On the second floor, the primary bedroom has a 2pc ensuite while three additional well proportioned bedrooms share a main bath. A charming and intimate sitting area is nestled under the stairs to the third floor. The attic level family room with a south facing dormer window captures the sun and makes this space truly magical. A fifth bedroom with a 2pc ensuite and an additional flex room (presently a games room) completes the beautiful third floor. The two acre property has meandering footpaths, perennial gardens and an above ground pool. As per FORM 244 24HR Irrev on any offer. All appliances sold in as is condition. (id:64974)
