A truly magnificent 1870 estate! Fully restored in the last six years, this stunning home sits on over 5.5 rolling acres in Ancaster's most desirable enclave overlooking the Dundas Valley. The quality of the restoration, the preservation of heritage features, and the infusion of modern updates is remarkable. Boasting renovated bathrooms, kitchen, new windows, plumbing, electrical, HVAC, generator, steel roof, and more it's clear that no expense was spared. New spray foam insulation throughout, coupled with all-new exterior stucco make the home tremendously energy efficient. The breathtaking entry foyer is adorned with lavish wood finishes and a grand staircase. The main floor living room is massive, and anchored by an imposing floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace with large gas insert. The floor also offers an office, formal dining room, two washrooms, walk-in pantry, and a gorgeous eat-in kitchen with sliding doors to a covered stone patio. The second floor is accessible via both the grand staircase and the new elevator. A large central hallway leads to a laundry room, three shared bathrooms, and five bedrooms (two with ensuites) including the sprawling primary suite. The third floor is also served by the elevator, making it ideal for an in-law suite. Currently set up with a bedroom and large common area, this floor is ready to finish as desired, with plumbing roughed-in for a kitchen and additional washroom. A finished basement completes the home, equipped with two bedrooms and its own separate entrance, offering potential for another suite. Surrounding this incredible house are more than 5.5 private acres of rolling land. Toward the back of the lot is an in-ground swimming pool awaiting reactivation. A large detached stone garage and a barn/workshop provide space for a wide variety of uses. Situated in perhaps the most desirable pocket in Ancaster, this impeccable estate offers modern features and historic character with the perfect balance of land and location. (id:2493)
