31 FRONT Street
St. Jacobs, Ontario
4 bed • 2 bath • Single Family
31 Front Street is a rare opportunity to own a meaningful piece of St. Jacobs history. Built in 1880 and known as one of the village’s original homes, this beautifully preserved century home blends timeless character with thoughtful updates completed in keeping with its historic charm. Set on a picturesque corner lot across from trails, close to the river, and within walking distance to the shops, dining, and charm of downtown St. Jacobs, the setting is every bit as special as the home itself. From the moment you arrive, the wraparound porch and classic exterior create a warm and welcoming first impression. Inside, the home offers inviting living spaces filled with character and comfort. The large eat-in kitchen features a walkout to the porch and connects easily to the main living areas, including a quiet sitting room and living room designed for both everyday living and relaxed entertaining. A spacious laundry and mud room, 4-piece bath, and a thoughtfully integrated addition completed in 2012 add function without compromising the home’s original personality. Upstairs, you’ll find four bright bedrooms plus a versatile den, with walk-in closets in the primary and one additional bedroom, and large closets in the remaining two. Natural light fills the bedroom spaces, while ceiling fans add comfort and charm. The upper bath features a classic clawfoot tub with shower, beautifully suited to the home’s century character. The finished walk-up attic provides even more flexible living space, ideal for a home office, studio, or private retreat. The basement offers plenty of storage, and the detached garage includes a loft space with added potential for a studio, hobby area, or additional storage, as well as its own furnace. Rich in warmth, history, and timeless appeal, this is a truly special home in one of Waterloo Region’s most beloved communities.
