This stunning 1870 Ontario Cottage has timeless character and unbeatable curb appeal. From the moment you enter the arched entryway, you will witness the history, elegance, and craftsmanship. Original wide-plank floors, 10-foot ceilings, and deep baseboards give a sense of grandeur, while the expansive private lot, adorned with mature trees, secret pathways, and gardens, offers a tranquil retreat just minutes from downtown Stratford. Inside, the home has large, light-filled principal rooms, including a welcoming front parlour and two spacious main-floor bedrooms, making it ideal for all buyers. The kitchen is simple and functional which opens to a charming side porch - the perfect spot to sip your morning coffee.
