Hand-crafted to exceptional standards in the early 1920's, this gorgeous home was built for a local business executive. Placed grandly on an over-sized corner lot near the centre of the Village of Finch and solidly built from cement-granite block, this home announced the owner's prosperity to all.
Live in style in this 4-bedroom home with its wrap around porch and second floor sunroom. Perfectly suited to entertaining. The living room and main floor office/sitting room feature original stained glass windows and original wood and glass privacy doors. Enjoy a winter meal next to the fireplace in the dining room. Work in graceful privacy behind the frosted glass French doors in the main floor office. Relax at the end of the day in the cast iron bathtub. Beautiful, stately and spacious with 10 foot ceilings, 12 inch baseboards, hardwood floors and original wood trim throughout. Unlike most older homes, there is a built-in closet in every bedroom as originally designed. Walnut trees and lilacs compliment the the double sized village lot, with plenty of space for gardens and outdoor entertaining.
The four bedrooms are on the second floor and each one is spacious. The bedroom currently used as the master bedroom features a tongue-in-groove pine ceiling and a beautiful, full-dimension set of bay windows to match those in the office below. The bedroom currently designated as the nursery is spacious and features a window configuration that allows light and air but still presents wall space to place furniture. The third bedroom also has full sized windows and plenty of wall space. The fourth bedroom adjoins the second floor sunroom.
The kitchen has been updated and features a beautiful view of the back yard. Painted hardwood flooring and ceramic tile make this room a cinch to keep clean. A built in cutting block on the counter across from the stove eases meal preparation and a swinging door between the kitchen and the dining room lets you close the door on meal clutter and relax while you dine next to the fire.
Attached garage. Main floor laundry. The basement offers a great work space with its full height, cement floors, counters, shelving and features a separate entrance to the backyard as well as an entrance from the kitchen. Walking distance to community centre, arena, library and park. Municipal water and waste. Forty minutes commute to Ottawa or simply board the bus at the Park & Ride across the street. 20 minutes to historic Cornwall - one hour to Montreal - minutes from the 401 & 417. Several golf courses within 20 minutes. 20 minutes from several marinas on the St. Lawrence River. High-speed access and cable available.
