This large and elegant century home has been completely restored and reburbished. There is literally no work left to be done in this warm and inviting home - just move in and enjoy.

All of the original charm of this house has been retained, including some of the most magnificent woodwork anywhere, while all the important updates have been incorporated.

The kitchen has been completely updated including granite coutertops and opens onto a breakfast room with many windows and in-floor radiant heat. Opening off the breakfast room is a wonderful sunroom overlooking the large and private rear gardens. There is a ground floor family room with original pine floors, wood ceiling and a gas stove. This is a very cozy and casual living space.

The dining and living rooms are more formal and the living room in particular is filled with light from its large bay window. The large elegant foyer is impressive with its orginal woodwork and original "faux" finish. Much of this woodwork is also found in the living room. The highlight is the large pocket door between the foyer and living room (right). A screened-porch opens off the the dining room, affording a great deal of privacy and views of both the front and back gardens (left).

Upstairs is a beautiful front hall, ideal as a study or computer area. Directly off this hall is the master bedroom with a large bay window. The closets and master bathroom open off the master bedroom. There are two more bedrooms and the main bathroom (including laundry) and at the back of the house is the back hall and stairs, which are possibly the most charming features of all. Opening off the back hall is a spacious office or study.

All of the mechanicals (wiring, plumbing, insulation etc.) have been updated, including a new furnace in 2008 and air conditioning. Windows have been replaced and upgraded. This is a spectacular property offering the best of both worlds.

This home is located in the heart of beautiful Northumberland County in the village of Colborne, with easy and direct access from the 401, just about one hour and twenty minutes from Toronto. North St. is a quiet street within walking distance of the downtown shops and restaurants and is lined with similar century homes. A very nice place to be.
