The character of the home is complimented throughout by quality hardwood floors and woodwork, etched and stained glass doors, antique light fixtures and custom crown moulding in keeping with the original architecture of the home.

Outside you will find a coach house double car garage with a workshop and a loft studio apartment with kitchenette, bedsitting room and 3 piece bath. It is located 3 blocks from the Waterford ponds with boat launch, paved trail within the town limits and access to the scenic rail trail to both Pt. Dover and Brantford. This distinctive home is one of a kind that seldom comes available. Let your family be the next one to cherish it for years to come.
