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.
