About this home

Step into a living work of art. This breathtaking circa 1875 church conversion nestled in the hamlet of Victoria Road, is a one of a kind sanctuary that seamlessly marries historic reverence with avant-garde design. Featuring stunning Venetian plaster walls, tinplate ceilings, ornate wood beams, arched top windows, original hardwood floors, and a breathtaking circular stained glass feature window that floods the character rich interior with a kaleidoscope of natural light. The main floor invites you into an open concept kitchen, living, and dining area warmed by a cozy wood stove, alongside two bedrooms and a freshly updated 4pc bath with laundry. Upstairs, an inspiring second story studio awaits. A perfect creative haven. Modern comforts blend seamlessly with history: a new metal roof, split system heat pump, and pellet stove. Outside, relish exceptional privacy amid apple trees, an abundance of nature and a river that surrounds the property area, crafting a serene natural retreat. Nestled near gems like the Carden Plains Important Bird Area, Kirkfield Lift Locks, Trent-Severn Waterway, and a sandy beach on Mitchell Lake ideal for kayaking, fishing, SUP, and boating. With shops, boutiques and markets, cottages, parks, lakes and wildlife, the area feels like a charming historic tapestry. Just steps to Balsam Lake Beach, 15 mins to Hwy35, 30 mins to Lindsay, and 1 hour to Durham. This is not just a house; it is a storied sanctuary for the soul.
