A Hidden Gem In The Town Of Durham

Property Description

Redesigned by Carol Postar whose work has been featured in Better Homes & Gardens (Canadian & European Edition), Style At Home, Arabelle, to name a few. A piece of history with respect to the past. This three-bedroom home was built in 1883 and was the home of Durham’s mayor. It is indeed one of the oldest homes in the Town of Durham. Neglected until its current owner decided to bring it back to life...a glorious life at that. The home boasts vintage woodwork, replica milled trim and baseboards (made in Durham), modern colors, as well as a monochromatic palette and clean lines. Located a stone’s throw from downtown and mere steps from the Saugeen River and campgrounds, bridges and trails. The lot is landscaped to present color in three seasons and offers privacy and foliage for shade on those hot summer days. There’s a cozy front porch with garden boxes for privacy, and a pretty back porch with lattice and curtains that draw for an intimate evening, perfect for cocktails or coffee while watching the sunset after a long day of work. The great room features a gorgeous stone fireplace, room to sit and chat and room enough to entertain ten friends for dinner. The custom kitchen (to die for) features a Pantry, Carrara marble countertops, and backsplash, providing all the counter space you need, along with an island for chopping, and more. A bright and cheerful den. Two bedrooms up and a main-floor guest bedroom, plus one simply amazing primary bedroom on the main floor. Vibrant perennial gardens in the Spring, Summer and Fall are easily maintained and a joy to behold. This home is a must-see and simply a winner all around!
