For sale: Detached

Beside the river, on a spacious corner lot in the heart of Gorrie, this fully renovated Victorian offers small town character with none of the compromises. Four years of thoughtful, top to bottom updates have gone into this home, and the results speak for themselves. The lot itself is a big part of the appeal. Mature trees, established gardens, and a river just steps away make this a place where the outdoors gets used, not just admired. Morning coffee on the front porch, afternoons in the greenhouse or yard with the kids, evenings around the fire pit with family and friends. There's room for all of it. Inside, the main floor has been fully updated with a new kitchen featuring updated cabinetry, countertops, and appliances, opening into a bright and open living area. Heated floors in the kitchen and main floor bathroom add year round comfort, and main floor laundry, custom trim, and fresh flooring throughout keep the home functional while preserving its original character. Upstairs has been completely redone as well, with three comfortable bedrooms and a refreshed full bathroom. Outside, a deck with gazebo, a new wood shed, and an insulated bunkie with hydro add usable space beyond the home itself, with plenty of room still left over for gardening, play, and entertaining. The river is a short stroll away, the public pool is just up the road, and Listowel and Wingham are a quick drive, with Kitchener-Waterloo about an hour out. It's small town living, without the sacrifices.
