What a rare opportunity to own a unique home. Experience beauty, charm & history in this one of a kind property in a small rural town of Ailsa Craig - located midway between London & the beaches of Lake Huron, Grand Bend & the Pinery. Built approximately 1867. Beautiful two storey yellow brick home with original, still working, black shutters and intricately carved wooden corbels, sits on a half acre of beautifully landscaped lawns & gardens. The property - three bedrooms, (with room for another), four+1/2 baths, plus an abundance of nine & ten foot ceilings. Rich black walnut hardwood flooring flows through the majority of the first level and master bedroom upstairs. Beautiful woodwork throughout includes a curving front banister with hand carved trim, high baseboards, crown moulding and wood framing around both gas fireplaces. The home contains an upstairs laundry, front and back staircases and boasts a little over 4000 square feet of spacious, well appointed living area. Kitchen upgrades include cabinets, granite countertops, tray ceiling, flooring, appliances, open concept view of dining area, plus an exposed original brick wall. The “Granny Flat” addition with a private entrance which the present owners have utilized as an AirBnB destination for 3 yrs achieving a 5 star rating, gives an option for additional income. The backyard is a tropical oasis featuring a 18 x 36 ft inground, heated, salt water pool, a stocked goldfish pond with waterfall, hostas, patios, raised container garden, & gazebo. In the last 10 years, all of the windows upstairs & down (24) and all five exterior doors have been replaced with North Star products. All of the electrical wiring has been upgraded to present day standards. All plumbing throughout the house and all bathroom fixtures have been upgraded. The main home & addition ceilings insulated to R60 values. Aluminum soffit and fascia have been installed. Attached 2 car garage. Prettiest house in town and definitely a must see! (id:48675)
