Constructed with rare and prestigious triple-brick; an extraordinary luxury at the time reserved only for the wealthiest of homeowners, this 5,300 sq ft residence stands as a testament to enduring craftsmanship.Nestled amid mature trees on a sprawling, storybook setting of 18 acres, this estate offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of Canadian heritage with incredible lifestyle or venue potential. Step inside to discover elegant, stately principal rooms infused with the grace of a bygone era. Rich period details, soaring ceilings, and timeless charm echo through the living room, formal dining room, and family room. The expansive kitchen is a chef's dream, boasting an oversized island with a comfortable sitting and eating area.

Beyond the main residence, a reclaimed barn has been thoughtfully transformed into separate living quarters-ideal as an independent guest house, creative studio, rental opportunity, or a sophisticated catering and staging hub for private events. Outdoors, expansive sweeping lawns with abundant space for guest parking or marquee tents descend to a serene 7-acre river-fed pond, complete with a dock and boathouse.
