Inside the home
This is a late 1800s red brick farmhouse on just under 2 acres, surrounded by working cropland on all sides. The house has been actively updated — two bathrooms are fully renovated to a high standard, all major mechanicals have been replaced, and a new 2022 mudroom addition and paved laneway add practical value. The original chestnut woodwork, embossed tin ceiling, and turned staircase are genuine heritage features that took care to preserve. The kitchen is a mix of old and new — original cabinet boxes with some cosmetic updates and a country aesthetic that is personal and polarizing. The attic primary bedroom is large and has real character with exposed beam trusses and skylights, though the finish is modest. Five bedrooms total across three floors. Outside, the detached 3-car garage with a loft, a hot tub under a pergola, fire pit, and nearly 400 metres of road separation from the nearest neighbour make the outdoor package one of the stronger aspects of this property.
