They Sure Don't Build 'em Like This Anymore!

They Sure Don’t Build ‘em Like This Anymore!


We realtors always get jazzed-up when we have an opportunity to breathe in the energy of a character home; for us, it’s better than Christmas morning!  Yesterday I had the great honour of visiting one such home.  A romantic’s dream, this magnificent and historically designated home, is nestled on 7 stunningly secluded acres near Bond Head.  It boasts 12 foot ceilings, delicious moldings with 12 inch baseboards, gorgeous fireplaces in almost every room with egress onto the wrap-around porch from each bedroom, a guest house, and a 3-storey barn with as much character as the home itself.  Recently purchased by my new best friend, I daydream of spending many an afternoon there, sipping on a mint julep, as I watch the restoration progress before my very eyes.  Stay tuned for further updates, more history on the home, and more photos in the weeks to come.
