Some homes just have a feeling to them, and this is one of them. Set in the heart of Meaford, steps from the marina and Georgian Bay and just minutes from the shops, restaurants and charm of downtown, this historic double yellow-brick home offers the kind of lifestyle that makes small-town living so special. Before you even step inside, the large covered front porch invites you to slow down. Morning coffee, a book on a rainy afternoon or catching up with a friend, it feels like an extension of the home itself. Inside, the character of this historic home has been thoughtfully preserved while extensive renovations have made it comfortable for modern living. Restored hardwood floors, original pocket doors and beautiful trim are paired with an updated kitchen with a perfect layout, renovated bathrooms, updated lighting and the addition of a main-floor bathroom. Two separate living spaces on the main floor provide plenty of room for family life and entertaining. With four bedrooms plus a den, there is flexibility for family, guests or a home office, while the third-floor primary suite creates a private retreat away from the rest of the home. Upstairs laundry adds everyday convenience. Outside, the impressive 55 x 165 ft lot offers a large backyard with room for kids and pets to play, gardens, summer dinners and plenty of space to make your own. Improvements include restored hardwood and pocket doors, renovated bathrooms, landscaping, fencing, decks and walkway, crown moulding, lighting, stone countertops, plaster and ceiling work, upstairs laundry and the covered front porch. And then there's the location. Meaford offers some of the most beautiful waterfront in Southern Georgian Bay, with the marina and Georgian Bay practically at your doorstep and its charming downtown minutes away. Approximately 20 minutes to Blue Mountain and 30 minutes to Collingwood, you get the slower pace of small-town living without giving up easy access to everything the area has to offer.
