Welcome to this magnificent 2-1/2 storey brick CIRCA 1870's Century home, located in the downtown section of the Village of Colborne. This corner 0.63 acre lot with interlocking brick driveway running through the property provides access/egress to both Division and Creek Streets. The home's grandeur is one of the largest in the village, accentuated by a huge front veranda with white doric columns and ornate brackets under the wide eaves.
Designed as an Italianate vernacular style, this Victorian home boasts an array of architectural details, including some window stained glass inserts, huge baseboards, extensive wood trim and hardwood flooring, glass door knobs, almost 10' main floor ceilings, plus a welcoming front foyer featuring a lit bannister and convenient powder room. The updated family kitchen showcases large porcelain tiles, a stylish white backsplash, s/s appliances and white cabinetry with quartz counters.
The island includes a breakfast bar and the waffle white ceiling extends through to the windowed eating area. Off the kitchen, there is a convenient den, plus an expansive combined formal living/dining room with gas fireplace, hardwood floors and bay window area. Relax in the sunroom, complete with a cozy gas fireplace, abundant windows, stained wood ceiling, or step outside to the south deck with gazebo.
The rear mudroom also features a gas fireplace with board-and-batten finished walls, plus access to full basement with concrete floor. Venture upstairs to the 2nd level with 3 well-appointed bedrooms, including a primary suite with a bay window and double mirrored closet doors. The upper level also features a large combination bathroom/ldry area with porcelain floor tiles, large walk-in shower, standalone soaker tub plus laundry facilities with front-load appliances.
A spiral oak staircase leads to the 3rd level with a 4th bedroom, gas linear fireplace, round Palladian window dormer, skylights, plus 3-pc ensuite, mirrored closet and generous storage.
There is also a 2 storey carriage house that will accommodate 3 vehicles and a loft with 6 ft side walls, surrounded by lush black walnut trees, mature landscaping, perennial gardens and several majestic trees. The property previously had a pool, but has been removed in favour of a landscaped garden and spacious south lawn. The house was re-shingled two years ago and the electrical panel is 200 amp breakers. This home is truly a distinguished century home within walking distance of shops and restaurants downtown. Easy access to the 401 at the "Big Apple" ramp for commuters, all within an hour of Toronto/GTA. According to the Seller, the property sits on 3 lots with a potential of severance of a lot along the easterly boundary, subject to application and Municipal approvals. Don't miss your chance to own this piece of grandeur! Please note, the property is NOT designated as Heritage. It is a century building and is a designation candidate if the owner wishes.
