Property Description

Welcome to a truly exceptional property in the heart of Arkell, where history, craftsmanship, and modern efficiency come together. Originally built in the 1800s and once home to a local blacksmith shop, this one of a kind residence has been thoughtfully renovated to preserve its character while delivering outstanding comfort and performance.Reimagined using high performance, Passive House inspired building principles, the home was upgraded with a strong focus on the building envelope, ventilation, durability, and indoor air quality. The result is a remarkably energy efficient, quiet, and comfortable home with consistent temperatures year round. The main living space has been opened into a bright kitchen and living area that blends contemporary design with preserved century details. Original rafters, exposed brick, and a striking floating staircase add architectural interest, while high end appliances including a Wolf cooktop, Fisher & Paykel refrigerator, wall ovens, and a built in coffee maker make the kitchen ideal for everyday living and entertaining. A rear addition with cathedral ceilings, moody finishes, and a fireplace creates a cozy retreat. Upstairs offers excellent flexibility for future customization. The space could be converted into a true two bedroom layout, ideal for families or guests. Alternatively, it could be redesigned to include an additional powder room with a secondary living space, home office, or lounge. Beyond its beauty, the home's performance stands out with triple pane windows, thick exterior insulation, a continuous air barrier, and a heat recovery ventilation system for improved comfort and efficiency. Set on two separate deeds with commercial zoning, the property offers flexibility for business use, live/work potential. A detached 900 sq. ft. heated shop adds year round functionality, while the landscaped yard provides space to relax, entertain, or expand. Rich in history and meticulously renovated, this is a rare legacy property. (id:64974)
