Some homes hold a little more of the Island?s heart. Built in 1899, the Old Winsloe House is one of them. Lovingly maintained and thoughtfully updated, this historic home sits on 2.09 acres, with an additional 0.85-acre waterfront parcel offering even more opportunity to savour life by the water. Here, there is room for gardens, summer gatherings, and quiet moments watching the view with nowhere else you need to be. Inside, the charm of a century home meets the comforts of modern living. The chef?s kitchen, complete with stone countertops, a propane cooktop, and a generous pantry, invites you to bring home something fresh from the farmers? market and stay awhile. In the living room, garden doors open to the backyard, where stunning water views set the scene for morning coffee, afternoon daydreaming, and evenings spent in good company. Designed to make everyone feel at home, each of the four bedrooms has its own full ensuite bathroom. One bedroom is conveniently located on the main level, while three more await upstairs. A main-floor half bathroom and designated laundry room round out a layout that is as practical for everyday living as it is welcoming for guests. The care invested in this property extends well beyond its charm. A new poured concrete foundation was completed in 2007, while conveniences such as central vacuum with an under-cabinet sweep inlet, along with a generator and GenerLink connection, bring welcome ease to life in a historic home. Adding another layer of possibility is the detached 20' × 30' garage, with a one-bedroom, one-bathroom apartment above. Together with the main home?s four private bedroom suites, this separate accommodation creates exciting options for hosting, extended family, or rental income. Imagine making the apartment your own seasonal retreat while guests enjoy the main house, or keeping loved ones close with space for everyone. (id:374)
