Descripation

Nestled in the picturesque town of Appleton, this breathtaking stone home sits on 1.4 acres of gorgeous grounds directly across from the Mississippi River. Steeped in history and charm, it showcases original hardwood floors, soaring ceilings, deep window sills, and intricate period details that create a timeless sense of elegance. The primary suite above the kitchen, complete with an ensuite, makes this home ideal for large families. The main residence offers three additional bedrooms, a spa-inspired bathroom, a formal dining room, living room, office, and cozy sitting room, all complemented by generous storage throughout. The heart of the home is the eat-in kitchen, featuring stainless steel appliances, soapstone counters, and a gas fireplace that once served as the original cooking hearth and bake oven. From here, a breezeway connects seamlessly to the main living areas. Modern updates include 200-amp electrical service, offering peace of mind and flexibility for today's lifestyle. Enjoy peaceful mornings listening to the river rapids from the wrap around covered verandah, or unwind with a book in the enchanting English cottage garden. A newly added loft space above the garage offers even more versatility; perfect for extra storage, a studio, or a creative retreat. Lovingly maintained and thoughtfully updated, this rare gem combines old-world charm with modern comfort. Ideally located just minutes from Carleton Place and Almonte, with easy highway access for a short commute to Kanata and downtown Ottawa.
