Historically called "Huntley House" this limestone home built in the Georgian style in 1869 is now ready for a new owner. You too can enjoy endless summer days relaxing on the 94 foot long wrap around verandah while admiring the gardens and mature trees. As you enter the four paneled front door you will be impressed by an eight foot foyer, sweeping staircase and centre hall floor plan. Formal dining and living rooms bring elegance to the home while the 26x14 family room with its original wood burning fireplace brings a casual coziness to this 3172 square foot home. Throughout, you will find 10 foot ceilings, deep window sills, original fireplace mantels, high baseboards and magnificent trim work. The kitchen occupies the back of the home and with its wood floors, sun filled windows, exposed stone wall and access to an outdoor patio is sure to be a gathering place for large parties. Upstairs you can take your pick as to which of the 5 bedrooms will be yours. The current owners have renovated the two upper bathrooms - one reflecting days of old with the original claw foot tub and exposed stone wall and the other with modern glass shower, bidet, custom wood vanity with vessel sink and ceramic floors. As you descend to the basement area, be prepared to be impressed with its walkout door that leads to the underside of the verandah....an ideal storage spot for all your outdoor tools and gardening items.
