Nestled in the heart of Chesterville, just a short commute from Ottawa, this distinguished red-brick century home stands as one of the most prominent residences in town - an enduring testament to its rich history, having belonged to one of Chesterville's founding families. Built in 1907, its solid bones have stood the test of time, meticulously maintained and thoughtfully updated with modern electrical, plumbing, and tasteful renovations, all while preserving its undeniable charm and character. Inside, soaring 10-ft ceilings and original hardwood with intricate designs create an atmosphere of timeless elegance, while an abundance of natural light fills the bright and airy living spaces. With only four families having called it home over the last century, its warmth and appeal as a beloved family residence are unmistakable. Offering four spacious bedrooms, three full bathrooms, and a charming powder room, the home also boasts an expansive, sun-drenched loft on the upper level, complete with the potential for a fifth bathroom - an ideal space for a home office, studio, or additional retreat. Outside, the fully fenced yard is graced by towering, mature maple trees, offering a lush and private oasis. A sturdy red metal roof allows for not just style but extended durability and protection. A magnificent 10-foot-deep wraparound veranda invites you to sit back with a cup of coffee and a good book, shaded from the summer sun as you take in the peaceful surroundings. The two-storey carriage house provides ample storage and covered parking, further adding to the homes charm and functionality. Chesterville itself is a hidden gem, vibrant in the summer with waterfront art festivals celebrating local artisans and producers, and enchanting in winter with its picture-perfect holiday charm. Safe, quiet, and family-friendly, this is more than a home, its a rare and remarkable piece of history, waiting for its next devoted owners. (id:19004)
