A whole lot of house, and conveniently located in the heart of Palgrave Village. Imagine a secluded paradise, allowing an artist, musician or fitness instructor the ability to work from home, with ample space for creativity and away from conventional subdivision distractions usually associated with in-village living. There’s the Village coffee shop and General Store around the corner, and just up a block is the Palgrave Public School, an educational haven that attracts people to the area – just to have their kids go to this wonderful country school. It is currently going through a major re-build and for 2008 will be a state-of-the-art complex.

This home is unique, as the original century home that was built in 1892 has seen numerous changes and additions over the decades. There’s a massive great room, with cathedral ceilings, barn board accents and a floor to ceiling stone fireplace. This space is near 1000SF in size alone, and has been the studio of many artists in the past, as well as a theatre group, dance ensemble and so much more – the possibilities are endless. And if combined with the adjacent bedroom, washroom and den, collectively, this area could be a home business as it occupies 20% of the total home and complies with Town bylaws for home-based occupancies.

The principal rooms are large, with the original dining room, living rooms and mud room having Victorian storage built-ins, providing ample space for everything! There’s a butler’s kitchen between the dining room and the corridor to the large and expansive kitchen with wall to wall windows, and the laundry room is located conveniently within this massive area.

The Master bedroom is a wing of its own, with a huge office/sitting room and a private staircase that takes you to the Butler’s kitchen. The ensuite has a dressing room that is large and expansive with numerous attic storage solutions. There are two additional bedrooms with their own service washroom up here.

The basement is utilitarian, with a massive 1000SF workshop, firewood room with dumbwaiter service to upper Great room, a bomb-shelter which today is used as a large pantry/storage room, a wine cellar and a root cellar. There are “Auntie Em” walk-ups from the basement allowing for separate entries, but there’s so much space upstairs, that there really is no need to ever have to finish the basement.

The property is private, and large, offering several sitting/entertaining areas. The 3 car garage is separate and there is an historical fireplace that adds to the character of the property. The privacy the property is further accentuated with the privacy wall that is found at the street level. You could add to the appeal of this wall with a “stone effectibles” concrete treatment, and the positioning of a business sign allows street level advertising to the home-based business.

This is truly a unique property that is beaconing creative flair! You must see it today and buy it tomorrow!
