72 Colborne St, Goderich, ON N7A 2V9

Enjoy the grandeur of this red brick century home that was once the Manse for the local Presbyterian Church. With 3,400 square feet on three floors, it is a sprawling family home which is currently being used as a fabulous Bed and Breakfast. Four sunny and cheerful bedrooms are on the second floor, all with their own bathrooms, televisions and coffee stations. The hidden gem on the third floor has a large bedroom and living room and top notch air conditioning. This entire home is flooded in natural light. The main floor welcomes you with a lovely enclosed front porch to relax and enjoy the views of this serene, tree-lined, historic, old Ontario neighbourhood. A large dining room, living room and sunny den with a walkout to the deck will make family life a breeze. Managing this large home is easy especially with two stairways, an expansive kitchen with double washer and dryers, two ovens and two refrigerators and a second sink and large island. Gas fireplaces in the large bedrooms and den add warmth and grace to this property. Tall ceilings, wide crown moldings and baseboards point to its Victorian heritage as well as the stained glass windows and oak flooring. The gardens are as beautifully maintained as the home and owners can relax on a deck, in the pergola or just pull up a chair near the flower beds. Goderich is well known for its access to the 130 km Goderich-to-Guelph Rail Trail. But there is more than cycling. This property is three minutes from the farmers' market, outdoor concert venue, shops, the library and quaint cafes. A 15 minute walk and you will be on the eastern shore of Lake Huron for a swim at the beautiful beach, enjoying an ice cream, or a sunset walk on the boardwalk. Within an hour, you can be in Stratford, Kitchener or London. This is a fresh and elegant home full of sunlight and thoughtful and functional design touches.
