About this home
Welcome to one of Atwood's most iconic landmark residences. Originally built in 1896, this captivating home showcases exquisite craftsmanship, intricate woodwork, and vibrant stained-glass windows-all seamlessly paired with high-end upgrades. Spanning over 5,000 square feet, the residence offers exceptional flexibility. With 7 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms, it is effortlessly suited for multi-generational living, an executive home business, a charming bed-and-breakfast, or custom apartment conversions. The main level greets you with a bright, airy foyer that includes an office and craft room. The flowing layout includes a grand kitchen, living room, cozy family room, den, main-floor laundry, two bedrooms, and a powder room. Upstairs, the primary retreat features an ensuite bath and an adaptable room perfect for a luxury walk-in closet, nursery, or extra bedroom. Four spacious additional bedrooms, a library, a secondary kitchenette, and dual bath facilities complete the upper level, while the unfinished attic and basement provide even more potential to expand. The home has been extensively updated and renovated over time and is surprisingly energy-efficient with remarkably low heating costs. Outside, the sprawling 132' x 132' lot features landscaped gardens, a single-car garage, and generous parking. Enjoy the peaceful pace of Atwood - replete with parks, trails, and recreation - just 10 minutes from Listowel and its amenities (hospital, shopping and restaurants), 35 minutes to Stratford or St. Jacobs, and less than an hour from Kitchener-Waterloo and the shores of Lake Huron.
