365 William Street South Huron (Exeter), ON

Beautifully maintained and steeped in history, this remarkable century home is believed to be one of the first 14 houses built in Exeter, double bricked by a Scottish mason, and built in 1856. The home exudes timeless Victorian elegance through an array of original and restored features, including wainscoting, 14" baseboard trim, crown molding, front screened doors and exquisite stained-glass windows. The main level offers a versatile bedroom/office with its own private entrance -ideal for in-laws/guests, or a private business/home occupation - conveniently located near a newly constructed 3 piece bath with a tiled shower. A renovated kitchen blends modern function with classic charm, featuring quartz countertops, custom cabinetry, and a large island, while a spacious and bright dining area is highlighted by a gas fireplace and vintage mantle. Original pocket doors transition to a living room accented by a striking stained-glass window and a beautifully refinished hardwood floor. The original front and renovated rear staircases lead to the upper level which offers 3 spacious bedrooms, including a primary with 2 walk-in closets, and two 3 piece bathrooms. Outdoors, relax on a large deck surrounding an above-ground pool(new cleaning system) and a hot tub while quiet evenings can be spent around the fire-pit or enjoying the tranquil fish pond, with ample yard remaining for entertaining or play. Peaceful mornings begin on the covered front or side porch, where the Gingerbread trim has been meticulously restored. A updated shed, garden, a single car garage with a steel roof, front and rear door access and a workbench ensure everyone in the family has space to tinker. Numerous updates completed in 2022 include a sump pump, furnace, central vac sweeper, electrical, roof (2023) and more. This is a rare opportunity to own an updated home where history-inspired design, rich character, and modern comforts come together in perfect harmony. (id:4555)
