Description
A warmest welcome to "the Block House", a Quebec-style century farmhouse with tasteful modern flair. Circa 1892, this home and property reveals its beauty at every turn! The main floor is bathed in natural light, large spaces, and a cozy atmosphere enhanced by original wood flooring, intricate mould...ings and trim work, 9 foot ceilings and three beautiful gas fireplaces! The great room, a sanctuary of light and tranquility, overlooks the back deck and westerly gardens; a delightful room sure to be the heart of the home (and a bonus: a finished loft space!). The dining room and kitchen are central, providing ample room for guests, friends, and family to gather and enjoy; these rooms have hosted many dinner parties! A parlour provides an exceptional living room or office space, offering versatility to suit your lifestyle. Upstairs (a tall half-storey also with 9 foot ceilings!), 3 bedrooms and a full bath complete the home. The grounds and gardens are enchanting; a rich tapestry of native trees and flora dot the property: heritage maple, Scotch pine, hickory, catalpa, pin oak & columnar oak, willow, and cedar. There are re-naturalized gardens as well as a small personal orchard with bush cherries, high bush blueberries, rhubarb, apricot, apple, and pear trees. A thriving "stumpery" with perennial plantings, vegetables and herbs is a beautiful backyard focal point to enjoy from the back deck, under the canopy or the open sky! With a backdrop of Beaver Meadow and facing toward East Lake, this property is surrounded by nature, wildlife, and birds. Experience the enchanting allure of The Block House.
