THE HOME

Located 5 minutes south of Erin and 12kms north of Georgetown, this lovely 4 bedroom stone home is much admired. In fact, well known artist Ken Phillips completed an etching of the home including the original livery which is still in place. Much of the home’s historic elements have been retained including extra deep baseboard and trim details. An unusual element of the home is its complete stone exterior. The original livery on the south side the home has been converted to a large cathedral ceiling living room with stone fireplace. The south facing over-sized window offers lovely views over the surrounding lands.

The main floor includes a large kitchen/living area, family room, dining room, office and front parlour. At one point in the home’s history, the kitchen and living area was used as a cooking school! The large dining room has many historic details and is large enough to seat 10+ guests. The south facing living room with cathedral ceiling is a favorite room of the home.

The second floor contains 4 bedrooms and 2 full baths. All bedrooms have views over the property.

The unfinished basement is in good repair and contains storage space and utility area.

THE OUTBUILDINGS

Alongside the home is a drive through 2-car tandem garage with man door.

To the west of the home is the restored century bank barn. This large structure has enough height for horses or could be re-purposed for many other hobby uses.
