About this property
Nestled in the picturesque village of Appleton, this remarkable stone home sits on 1.4 acres of enchanting grounds directly across from the Mississippi River. Rich in history, character and timeless charm, the home invites you to appreciate the details of a bygone era, from its original hardwood floors and soaring ceilings to its deep window sills and intricate period features. At the heart of the home, the inviting eat-in kitchen features stainless steel appliances, soapstone countertops and a remarkable gas fireplace that once served as the original cooking hearth and bake oven. A charming breezeway connects the kitchen to the main living areas. The private primary suite is tucked above the kitchen and includes its own ensuite, while three additional bedrooms, a spa-inspired bathroom, formal dining and living rooms, a home office and cozy sitting room provide ample space. Generous storage throughout adds everyday practicality. Outside, the setting is truly special. Begin your mornings with coffee on the wraparound covered verandah as the sounds of the river rapids drift through the air, spend quiet afternoons among the blooms of the English cottage garden or wander the thoughtfully landscaped grounds. A newly added loft above the garage offers even more possibilities as an art studio, creative retreat, hobby space or additional storage. Thoughtful improvements, including 200-amp electrical service, offer modern comfort while preserving the home's timeless appeal. Lovingly maintained and carefully updated, this rare property offers a lifestyle surrounded by history, nature and enduring charm. Ideally located just minutes from Carleton Place and Almonte, with convenient highway access to Kanata and downtown Ottawa.
