Property Description
Tucked in the very heart of Hillsburgh, where tree-lined streets and a deep sense of community create the backdrop for everyday life, this enchanting century home stands as a timeless testament to craftsmanship, comfort, and quiet charm. From the moment you approach, the welcoming front porch—framed with delicate gingerbread trim—hints at the warmth and character that lies within.
Step through the front door and into a storybook interior, where original details have been lovingly preserved. Stately high ceilings, wide baseboards, stained glass, and hardwood floors whisper of generations past while offering a classic setting for modern living. The formal living and dining rooms retain their sense of elegance and tradition—ideal for hosting holiday dinners, milestone celebrations, or simply unwinding with loved ones in a space that feels as though it’s always embraced good company.
At the heart of the home, a thoughtfully updated kitchen blends contemporary function with timeless appeal. Caesarstone countertops and stainless steel appliances make meal prep a delight, while the central layout keeps you connected to the rest of the home.
A substantial addition at the rear of the adds versatility. The bright family room is perfect for cozy movie nights, rainy-day puzzles, or weekend morning cartoons with the kids. The mudroom keeps everyday life beautifully organized, while a combined laundry and bathroom adds convenience without compromising space. Sunlight spills into the adjoining studio space—a versatile haven for creativity or entrepreneurship- fronting directly onto Trafalgar Road. With commercial zoning already in place, it’s an incredible opportunity for a home-based business or artist’s studio.
Upstairs, the home continues to unfold with warmth and grace. The primary suite is more than just a bedroom—it’s a personal retreat, complete with a quiet sitting and dressing area and wall-to-wall closet. Three additional bedrooms, each generously sized and filled with natural light, offer flexible space for children, guests, or a home office. The family bathroom is both elegant and functional, featuring a freestanding tub perfect for unwinding after a long day.
Downstairs, the basement defies century-home expectations. With a solid concrete floor, generous ceiling height, and plenty of storage, it’s a rare and welcome feature.
Outside, the expansive, fully fenced lot offers a private sanctuary, perfect for gardening, entertaining, or simply enjoying the outdoors. Two covered patios create spaces for summer dinners or a quiet glass of wine in the rain. A dedicated firepit area—complete with classic Muskoka chairs—sets the scene for long conversations under starry skies, while the gas BBQ hookup makes backyard hosting effortless.
Located just a short stroll from the scenic Elora Cataract Trailway, local shops, the fire station, the Wellington County Library, and a nearby school and playground, this home is truly at the center of everything Hillsburgh has to offer.
