The kitchen island began life as a church altar. It sets the tone for the whole house: an 1875 stone home at the edge of historic Perth where the original character was kept and the important updates were made. A natural gas furnace within the past five years, central air installed this year, a metal roof within the past ten, and modernized plumbing and electrical mean this is a century home to be enjoyed rather than worked on. Original hardwood, high ceilings, and the detail of a craftsman era carry through the principal rooms, warmed by three fireplaces: a wood-burning insert in the formal living room, a second wood fireplace in the family room, and a natural gas fireplace in the dining room, where a pass-through to the kitchen serves gatherings gracefully. The home offers three bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms, including a primary suite with a luxurious ensuite. The grounds extend across 1.88 acres, with the house set well back from the road for genuine privacy. A screened solarium, a hot tub on the rear deck, and a substantial barn suited to a workshop, studio, or hobby farm pursuits complete the setting. The property is served by its own well, with excellent water quality, a septic system, and fibre internet available. Downtown Perth's shops and restaurants are a short walk away, though the property retains the quiet of the countryside. Homes of this era and condition seldom come to market. This one is ready for its next century. (id:55534)
