A rare opportunity to restore and modernize while preserving its heritage character, all just steps from the Welland Canal. This stately 2.5-storey home (c.1929) rests on an extraordinary Half-acre L-shaped lot, with a natural forest backdrop. Step inside to find approx. 2800 sq ft of authentic character throughout. While the two bathrooms have been tastefully updated, the rest of the house retains its classic, vintage appeal. Ideal for renovators, investors, first-time buyers, or end-users with vision - this is value, upside, and neighbourhood all in one. The main floor boasts a large formal Living room with a fireplace, a separate Dining room, a main floor Family/Sunroom, a full 3-pc bathroom and a cozy vintage Kitchen with built-in cutting boards, and tip-outs for storing onions/potatoes, and connections for a dishwasher, gas & electric stove. The 2nd-flr features four impressively large bedrooms, providing exceptional living space for a growing family. The untapped potential of the attic is a standout feature, with three rooms ready to be transformed into 2 additional bedrooms, a private studio, or a versatile recreation area. A walkout lower level opens to a private woodland which slopes gently to a secluded forested arm - an enchanting retreat for trails, gardens or studio space. The entire back is a naturalist's paradise, covered with lush foliage, towering trees, and diverse flora, creating a secluded and harmonious retreat. The Welland Recreational Waterway and its many amenities are just a short stroll away. The peaceful river setting offers a lifestyle of outdoor recreation, including walking trails, boating, and fishing. Just steps from the Welland Canal, Merrit Island, parks and amenities. New hi-efficiency boiler, 100-amp breaker panel, plus 40 amp subpanel in garage, updated plumbing and electrical. RSA.
