Description

A turn-of-the-century home, thoughtfully preserved and beautifully updated. Set on a sprawling, fully fenced lot, this red brick residence built in 1908 reflects the craftsmanship of its era, carefully maintained while incorporating meaningful modern improvements. A restored front porch with traditional detailing and a classic blue ceiling introduces the home. Inside, original wide plank pine floors, high baseboards, detailed window casings, and preserved interior doors speak to its enduring quality. The original staircase and heritage light fixture at the landing remain intact. The main living area is bright and welcoming, centred around a wood stove. The kitchen has been completely redone, offering quartz countertops, a breakfast bar, and excellent storage, finished with materials that suit the home's character, including William Morris "Lemon Tree" wallpaper and unlacquered brass hardware that will develop a natural patina over time. The adjoining eating area is lined with windows & opens directly to the side deck and yard. To the rear, a family room with an exposed brick wall connects to a mudroom with laundry and a newly updated three-piece bathroom, with direct access to the yard and detached garage. Upstairs features 3 well-proportioned bedrooms and a four-piece bath. A separate loft, accessed from the mudroom, offers flexible space for a home office, gym, or lounge. Unfinished basement provides additional storage. The grounds include a composite deck and private, treed/fenced yard. An oversized detached garage and extended driveway through double gates offer ample parking and workspace. Located on O'Donnell Crt, named for the original landowners, the property carries a strong sense of history. A preserved section of original kitchen flooring has been framed as a keepsake, and since connecting to city water in 2025, the well on the property serves as a convenient water source for the gardens.
