Own a Piece of Kitchener's Prohibition History. This magnificent, Victorian mansion has over 3,700 sq. ft. of local history and early 20th-century characteristics over 3 large floors and a basement. It features extensive hardwood flooring and above shoulder-height wainscoting with a sweeping staircase as the focal point. Extensive windows and 9 1/2 -foot ceilings give a majestic sense of space, through the 2 sunrooms, living room, den, library, and 5 bedrooms. A huge, finished attic, a portico over the driveway, a 2-storey Coach House, Italianate touches, and plenty of heritage details make this home a spectacle to marvel at. But what about its history? The house was built in 1923 by Charles J. Bruder, a distinguished society gentleman, successful hotel owner, and popular musician and band leader. He also happened to be a bootlegger! Clues to the home's colourful past include a basement with a large, walk-in vault, terrazzo floor, beer-keg shaped holes into the cellar, and a secret room through the fireplace! Located on almost 0.3 acres in an established neighbourhood of heritage homes, the home is steps away from Centre in the Square, Kitchener Public Library, and the transit, services, shops, and restaurants of downtown Kitchener. Currently used as a single-family home, it could be used for almost 1,000 sq. ft. of home offices and residence, with a potential coach-house dwelling. It's only waiting for you to add your stories to its 100-year history book.
