Property Description
On the Grand River, in the heart of historic Fergus, this charming century home has the feel of a country cottage and comes with a rare asset: a terrace right at the waters edge. The 1930 solid brick house is warm in winter, featuring three bedrooms, two bathrooms, an updated kitchen, a finished basement with workshop, and a sunroom with a spectacular view of the river.Other pluses include original hardwood floors, a closed-in front porch designed and built by a craftsman, a classic-style gas fireplace in the living room, a pretty, fenced yard facing the street and split rail fencing elsewhere.On the back of the house is a secluded deck and covered walkway (useful in bad weather) leading to the spacious single car garage.Two magnificent towering maples provide welcome shade in the south-facing backyard, which was designed by a master gardener to emphasize shrubs and ground covers for easy maintenance, so theres little lawn to cut.Yet the most enchanting aspect of this unique property? Head down the path to the river and its like entering into another world. The only sound you'll hear is rushing water, the only sight the occasional fly fisherman, plus lots of birds. Slip your kayak into the river and go for a paddle.All this charm is located in downtown Fergus, with an array of restaurants, coffee shops, stores, the library, a local theatre and the towns colourful summer street festivals all within walking distance. You can enjoy the delights of a lovely old country town thats close to major urban centres without having to drive.
