Built circa 1895, this 2-storey, red brick, Victorian home is located in a prime northward Orillia neighbourhood, within easy walking distance of Couchiching Beach Park, downtown, churches and schools. Three additions have transformed the home into what it is today: in 1900, a 2-storey addition seamlessly blended into the original structure; in 1988, an attached 2-car garage and in 1990, a board & batten-sided sunroom overlooking the backyard. Perfect for a growing family, this home has 6 bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms. Period architectural features include crown molding, hardwood floors, tall baseboard trim, wainscotting, 5 fireplaces and 2 staircases. The living room is divided into front and rear parlours plus there is a formal dining room and the main floor family room was used as an in-law suite. The kitchen was renovated in 1990 and includes white cabinetry, ample counter space, deep cabinets, a walk-in pantry and pocket French doors to the sunken sunroom. The kitchen also features the original recessed cove ceiling with tongue-in-groove wood finish. The sunroom is a bright space with hardwood flooring, large panel windows facing south, cathedral ceiling, radiant in-floor heating and a Vermont castings gas fireplace for added comfort. Sliding glass doors lead to the backyard deck and treed yard. The inviting front verandah is 12 ft. deep and has newer decking. The garage measures 18ft. x 23ft. and includes a storage mezzanine plus a rear garage door to access the back yard. The front verandah, garage and sunroom all have an aluminum roof, installed in 2005 with a lifetime warranty; the main house has asphalt shingles & a small flat roof was rebuilt in 2016. This an incredibly special home in a superb location! (id:43137)
