About this home
Welcome to 1050 4th Ave. West, a show-stopping family home steeped in Owen Sound history. Built in the mid 1890s, the home was refashioned in the Beaux-Arts style for F.W. Harrison. This stately, historic home could be your new family home or a charming Bed & Breakfast. It has been lovingly preserved and restored, boasting many original features including intricate plaster work, diagonal mullioned windows, a marble fireplace, and beautiful, antique light fixtures, as well as five bedrooms, four bathrooms and a completely remodelled chef's kitchen. Enjoy your morning coffee in the sun-drenched breakfast room, or host large family gatherings in the generous dining and living rooms. Beautiful, stone-terraced, perennial gardens, and multiple, outdoor-entertaining spaces provide a quiet oasis just blocks away from the heart of downtown, while a finished third floor provides a perfect space to pursue hobbies or host family and friends. The original carriage house and large basement both offer excellent storage space or workshop potential. Other features include beautiful thin-strip maple hardwood, central air conditioning, newly installed terracotta floors with in-floor heat, and a grand, original staircase. Don't miss the opportunity to be part of the next chapter in the history of one of Owen Sounds flagship homes.
