About This Property

Built in 1883 and believed to have originally served as a coach house, this remarkable century home offers all the charm, warmth, and craftsmanship heritage home lovers dream about-without the worry of taking on a major restoration project. Since 2021, the property's owners have invested extensively in the home's infrastructure and systems, allowing the next owner to simply move in and enjoy. Major upgrades include a new roof, furnace, hot water heater, electrical panel updates, foundation waterproofing and drainage improvements, sump pump installation, new fencing, deck, soffits, fascia, eavestroughs, plumbing improvements, flooring, ceilings, lighting, laundry room renovation, and much more. The result is a rare opportunity to own a piece of Russell's history while benefiting from the confidence that so much of the heavy lifting has already been completed. Inside, you'll find a home rich with character and stories. Original architectural details, including the historic staircase banister, crown mouldings, custom ceilings, and heritage-inspired finishes, blend seamlessly with thoughtful modern updates. The upper level offers generous bedrooms filled with natural light, while the main floor delivers the functionality modern households need. Every space reflects a careful balance between preserving the home's history and adapting it for contemporary living. Outside, the lifestyle is equally appealing. Enjoy quiet mornings on the covered front porch, summer evenings on the deck, and weekends tending the enclosed vegetable garden. The fully fenced yard offers privacy, room for children and pets to play, and space to relax without leaving home. Located in the heart of Russell, you're just a short walk from schools, parks, recreation facilities, local shops, restaurants, cafés, and community events that make this village one of Eastern Ontario's most desirable places to call home.
