Simcoe, Ontario
5 bed • 3 bath • Single Family
Set on a beautifully landscaped corner lot along one of Simcoe’s most established streets, this stately red-brick character home offers a rare blend of timeless craftsmanship, mature gardens, and thoughtful updates. Lovingly maintained by the same owner for more than 30 years, the property is surrounded by colourful perennial beds, flowering trees and shrubs, winding garden spaces, and expansive lawns that create a private, estate-like setting in town. Inside, the home showcases the warmth and character expected of a classic century residence, including original hardwood flooring, detailed trim and millwork, oversized principal rooms, and a gracious centre hall staircase. The bright sunroom overlooks the gardens and provides a peaceful place to begin the day, while the formal living and dining spaces are ideal for both everyday living and entertaining. The kitchen features granite counters, solid wood cabinetry, heated flooring, and quality built-in appliances, with a renovated laundry/mudroom adding everyday convenience. Upstairs, generously sized bedrooms continue the home’s timeless appeal with large windows and hardwood flooring throughout. The renovated ensuite features heated flooring and a glass walk-in shower, while updates completed over the years reflect pride of ownership and careful stewardship. Outside, the rebuilt balcony, patio, mature trees, and thoughtfully designed landscaping combine to create a property that feels both elegant and welcoming. Located close to parks, schools, shopping, and everyday amenities, this is a rare opportunity to own a beautifully preserved home where character, comfort, and exceptional gardens come together in one of Simcoe’s most desirable neighbourhood settings.
