A “Proud History of Refinement” is evident the moment you drive up to this Stately Stone Home. Yes! The Tales These Stone Walls Could Tell! The principal rooms are large and inviting - meant for entertaining and family living. Here you will find a Home with integrity …ie. the owners have respected the exquisite yesteryear features – the deep encased windows, the stunning high ceilings, the deep 12” original baseboards, the 9” wide honey pine floors with their deep rich patina, the elegant curved Oak stairway adorned by original ornate yester year trim – Perfection!!! The interior doors boast unique Transom Windows – these, too, are original. History has a present tense in this “Eclectic Residence”! The Kitchen is both modern and urban! The Main floor Family Room & stunning Powder Room were updated from being a traditional “Summer Kitchen’ to a stunning focal point of the home featuring an exposed Stone wall, charming Grilled Windows and French Doors that lead to an entertainment sized deck and captivating English style rear Gardens…
The “Private,” fenced Gardens are dotted with perennials and stone retaining walls and walkways that are relevant to a Home of this period. Nestled on a lovely quiet street, you are just a short stroll to the Main Street of Almonte and an array of interesting Shops, Restaurants, Parks and the Town’s famous Mississippi Waterfalls. Try Baker Bob’s for a morning Coffee and Fresh Muffins! The Postmaster’s Pub has “live music” and a “casual atmosphere”. It seems there is always an Art Festival or Celebration every summer weekend in Almonte – famous throughout the Valley for its thriving “Artisan Community”. This is the kind of community that it’s resident’s love and consider Home for many years
You are just a short commute to the High Tech Community of Kanata and minutes to the 417 – how convenient! This is a ‘Union’ that could last a lifetime!
