Welcome to one of Unionville's most iconic heritage homes, a truly one-of-a-kind residence circa 1875 where timeless architecture, rich history, and modern comfort come together. Set on an extraordinary private, tree-lined lot overlooking the ravine and river, this remarkable property is famously known as the home featured in the original Gilmore Girls television production. Offering approximately 2,840 sq. ft. plus a beautifully restored approx. 550 sq. ft. detached commercially zoned heritage building, this is a rare opportunity in the heart of Historic Unionville. Authentic architectural details have been beautifully preserved, including original pine floors, two staircases, a wrap-around verandah, and three fireplaces (2 wood-burning, 1 gas). The open-concept living room showcases exposed wood beams, a wet bar, multiple walkouts to the backyard and patio, and offers flexibility, including the potential for a rear addition behind the fireplace. The renovated kitchen features marble countertops, stainless steel gas stove, built-in range hood, integrated Miele appliances, and a walk-out to a private deck. A formal dining room and separate office complete the main floor. Upstairs, the spacious primary suite offers a charming vintage fireplace and walk-out, along with two additional bedrooms and a cozy sitting room. The finished lower level is ideal as a recreation room or guest suite with a 3-piece ensuite and ample storage. The detached heritage building, formerly the village bakery (1910-1984), has been beautifully restored and is fully serviced with heating, air conditioning, electricity, and internet. Its commercial zoning provides outstanding flexibility for a professional office, studio, gallery, consulting space, or home business, with future expansion potential. Just steps to Historic Unionville Main Street, boutique shops, fine dining, cafés, spas, and scenic Toogood Pond. A truly exceptional property offering history, charm, and endless possibilities.
