Dear Gentle Readers, this author has seen many homes come and go this season, but every once in a while, a property arrives that stops Society in its tracks. (a subtle nod to the Bridgerton flair we all adore). At over 4,000 square feet, this authentically restored Victorian masterpiece is an experience. A grand country kitchen anchors the heart of the home, boasting a large island with butcher block countertops inspiring both lavish dinner parties and lazy Sunday mornings. The formal dining room is one of the most glamourous rooms one could enjoy a meal, with a gold leaf ceiling and crystal chandelier. The formal living room continues the theme with sculptured plaster ceilings that would make even the most discerning among us swoon. The family room on the main floor is warmed by a wood burning fireplace, offering the cozy intimacy that the season demands. Come summer, the sunroom overlooking the mature private half acre yard becomes the undisputed jewel of the main. Practical readers will also note its potential as generous wood storage come winter. Versatility, after all, is its own kind of elegance. A convenient laundry room with 2-piece bathroom, a stunning 3-piece bathroom with penny tile and a clawfoot bathtub, and 1 bedroom for guests or those who prefer to avoid stairs entirely, complete the main floor. Upstairs, 5 additional bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms await, ensuring that every member of the household, (family, guests, or the occasional visiting Lord) is accommodated in absolute comfort. And yet, the finest detail has been saved for last. Across the road, an additional 1.6 acre lot fronts the storied Saugeen River. Cast a line and spend a peaceful morning fishing, stroll across the bridge to the Saugeen River Trail for a leisurely walk, or simply sit and drink in the tranquil river views that stretch before you. This is not merely a home. It is a lifestyle. A legacy. And Society is watching very closely to see who is bold enough to claim it.
