Property Description
A rare opportunity to own a piece of history! When the Rideau Canal was built in the early 1800s, skilled stonemasons came from Scotland to work on its locks and bridges. After the canal's completion in 1832, many stayed, crafting the lasting stone homes that still define the region. This residence is a fine example, built of local limestone as a 1 3/4 -story home but originally registered as only 1 1/2 story, a clever tax-saving practice of the time. Nearly two centuries later, it still stands strong and proud, a testament to the artistry and resilience of its builders. With 5.51 Acres set on a gentle rise, the home is rich in character, showcasing original wide-plank wood floors, exposed rough hewn ceiling beams, and a cozy wood-burning fireplace. Thoughtful updates by a previous owner with an eye for craftsmanship and design include unique period details that preserve the home's charm while enhancing its livability. The layout provides flexibility with four bedrooms upstairs and a main-floor room that could serve as a guest suite or library. Two bathrooms, one on each level, offer modern convenience. Mechanical updates include a forced-air propane furnace (approx. 8 years), central air conditioning (approx. 5 years), plus well and septic systems in place. Outdoors, the property continues to impress with glorious extensively planned perennial gardens, a workshop, garden shed, and open storage area, all surrounded by the natural beauty of the landscape. Whether for peaceful retreat, family living, or creative pursuits, this one-of-a-kind stone home embodies character, privacy, and timeless rural charm. Home, WETT and septic inspection available. Offers will be presented on November 13th.
