About this home
Character, space, and a fantastic location! Situated on two large lots totalling approximately 115' x 100', this distinctive 1½-storey home offers a unique combination of historical charm, generous living space, and an impressive oversized garage/shop. Estimated to have been built circa 1920, the home has been acknowledged by the Town of Vulcan as a Heritage Home, complete with a plaque recognizing its local history. Conveniently located close to schools, the hospital, parks, walking paths, the seasonal outdoor public swimming pool, and other recreational facilities, this property offers the benefits of small-town living with amenities nearby. An enclosed south-facing front porch welcomes you into the home. The main level features a living room with natural gas fireplace, kitchen with adjoining butler's pantry, two dining rooms, two bedrooms, and the main bathroom. Upstairs are three additional bedrooms. Due to RMS measurement requirements and the sloped ceilings on the upper level, room measurements reflect only areas with ceiling heights of six feet or greater and do not represent the total usable floor area. The basement provides additional living space with a family room, bedroom with a 4-piece ensuite featuring a two-person jetted tub, den, cold storage room, and utility room. The projector TV and screen in the family room are included in the sale. Outside, the fenced backyard features large mature trees, two garden sheds, and rear gated access providing an option for RV parking. The home also features a metal roof, installed prior to 2007. A standout feature is the insulated oversized double detached garage/shop, measuring approximately 30' x 30'. It offers 12-foot-high overhead doors, 220 electrical service, plumbing for in-floor heat, and a loft area providing additional storage. Shelving and the workbench are included. The shop has asphalt shingles, with sealant applied to the west side. With six bedrooms, a den, generous living areas, a spacious two-lot setting, and an exceptional garage/shop, this property offers plenty of possibilities for those who appreciate the character of an older home and the convenience of an established Vulcan neighbourhood.
