An emblem of history, Circa 1843 - nestled in the waterfront town of Lombardy, ON, in the heart of Rideau Lakes, sits the stately "Blacksmith House," a timeless century home enveloped by its gorgeous irreplaceable limestone facade - a testament to the craftsmanship of its era. Spanning approx. 3000 sq ft., this one-of-a-kind home is a gateway to the past and a prospect for the future. Visiting this property is an invitation to imagine the stories that unfolded within its walls and to envision the tales yet to be told. It blends modern updates, including a new furnace (Jan 2025), electrical, plumbing, windows, front door, masonary, reappointed stonework, M/L bathroom, and flooring, to name a few. Its original charm portrays impressive high ceilings, handcrafted wood-carved motifs, two original staircases, wide plank hardwood, traditional deep box-sashed windows with cozy nooks & window seats everywhere you turn, and intricate trim/mouldings. The main floor boasts a bright foyer, the great room; historically, the parlour, enhanced by a stone fireplace surround, mantle, dry bar & sitting room along with a pedigreed formal dining room, and welcoming country kitchen & eating area, a three-piece bathroom, and main floor laundry room with a separate entrance & second staircase. The second level lends four bedrooms, including the serene primary suite & full bathroom. The possibilities invite opportunities to design & refurbish a unique historical home personally, try a hand at a quaint bed & breakfast in a beautiful waterfront town, or enjoy the quiet living and all Rideau Lakes has to offer. Set across from Otter Creek Van Clief Park while being within easy reach of amenities, including Rideau Ferry beach & boat launch, hospitals, golf courses, shopping, outdoor recreation, and so much more. A straightforward drive to Ottawa, 10 min. to Smiths Falls & Perth. 24 hr. irr on offers.
