452 7th Street, Owen Sound, Ontario N4K 1J4

The one with the yellow front door. That’s what you’ll call it when you tell your friends about it, when you drive by the day after the open house just to make doubly sure, when your parents come for dinner in your new home for the very first time. A classic red brick, two-storey century home with 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and a detached shop, this one is full of light and colour. Inside, the home blends classic century charm with thoughtful updates in all the right ways. Hardwood floors run throughout, the living room is filled with natural light from a large picture window, and crown moulding and a fireplace anchor the space beautifully. The freshly updated kitchen (2022) is a standout–sophisticated sage green cabinetry, gorgeous quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, a glazed tile backsplash that catches the light just right, and a dedicated coffee bar with a glass-front cabinet–all open to the dining room with sliding glass doors leading to a raised deck. The fully fenced backyard, framed by mature trees, includes a 13 x 19 detached shop. A bonus two-piece bath and laundry room complete the main floor. Upstairs, you’ll find three bright bedrooms, all with closets, with the primary bedroom especially spacious and light-filled. The stunning, brand new five-piece bathroom (2023) featuring a quartz-topped vanity with double sinks, stylish penny round tile, a walk-in glass shower with rainfall head, and a gorgeous clawfoot tub feels both timeless and indulgent. Out front, that unmistakable yellow door opens to a sunny porch with wraparound windows and all day southern exposure. Come spring, the snowball hydrangeas bloom, the gardens fill in, and the neighbourhood is even lovelier. With parking for two cars on the concrete drive and walkable to Harrison Park, the farmers’ market, downtown shops, cafés, and restaurants, 452 7th Street East is a home with charm and soul. Live your life in colour, at the one with the yellow front door.
