Welcome to the historic Quance House—one of Delhi’s most cherished heritage homes, built in 1896 and steeped in local history. Once home to the Quance family, owners of one of the last operating mills in Norfolk County along Big Creek, this grand 2.5-storey brick residence offers timeless character blended with thoughtful updates. Situated on a spacious half-acre lot that corners two streets, this stately home features 4 bedrooms plus a main floor office, 2 beautifully updated bathrooms, main floor laundry, and an updated kitchen. Inside, you’ll find soaring tin ceilings, refinished hardwood floors, a formal dining room, and a generous living room adorned with original trim and architectural detail. Additional highlights include updated windows, a durable steel roof, and a detached double car garage with an attached heated man cave—perfect for hobbies or entertaining. The large backyard offers space to relax or potentially sever a lot for future development. Ideally located near Quance Park, with scenic trails and Big Creek just steps away, this is a rare opportunity to own a piece of Norfolk County’s living history.
