About This Property

Welcome to one of Fergus' most admired century homes - a stately, beautifully cared-for property that blends timeless character with thoughtful, high-quality updates. Set just steps from downtown, this home offers the charm, walkability, and peaceful surroundings that make this neighbourhood so special. Inside, you'll find warm, inviting spaces filled with natural light, original details, and the craftsmanship you expect in a home of this era. Over the years, the owners have completed extensive renovations and improvements: a post-and-beam addition, redesigned kitchen with custom cabinetry, refinished maple and pine flooring, updated bathrooms, insulated basement, newer windows, a Daikin heat pump system, tankless water heater, upgraded electrical, and a long list of careful maintenance that preserves the integrity of the home while enhancing comfort. The layout is ideal for the buyer who wants character without sacrificing function - generous principal rooms, a serene primary suite, flexible spaces for hobbies or guests, and a finished third level attic space with additional room to spread out. The HEATED cobblestone walkway, custom storm doors, and restored Tower Street entrance add to the home's charm and ease of living. Outside, the property truly shines. The front porch offers a quiet place to watch the world go by, while the backyard feels like a private garden retreat with mature landscaping, drip irrigation, and beautifully manicured beds. It's the perfect setting for morning coffee, family visits, or peaceful afternoons at home. With its blend of history, quality updates, and an unbeatable location, this is a rare opportunity to own a landmark Fergus home that has been loved, maintained, and ready for its next chapter.
