Step inside this heritage home and feel the unmistakable charm of Old Oakville-warm, character-filled, and full of possibility. With nearly 2600 sq. ft. of thoughtfully preserved total space, this 3-bedroom residence offers not only history and lifestyle, but also an exceptional foundation for those who want to infuse their own design vision over time. The main floor centres around a spacious and inviting foyer/vestibule, setting a graceful tone for the home. Just beyond, the office/living room features a wood-burning fireplace framed by built-in bookcases, creating a warm, intimate space ideal for reading, conversation, or quiet evenings by the fire. It is a true reflection of the home's period craftsmanship. The layout then transitions into a combined living and dining room, an elegant, sunlit space anchored by a second gas fireplace. Multiple windows bring in natural light, while the walkout to the backyard extends everyday living into the garden. The kitchen, small but full of charm, includes a breakfast bar and efficient layout suited for modern daily routines. A main floor 3-piece bath adds welcome convenience-an uncommon advantage in a home of this vintage. Upstairs, three comfortable bedrooms provide peaceful retreat, each offering its own character and bright, airy ambiance thanks to the home's generous window count. Outdoors, the yard unfolds into a lush, mature garden-a true plant lover's paradise. Thoughtful plantings, natural privacy, and seasonal colour create a tranquil backdrop. This home is perfect for buyers who value authenticity and appreciate the opportunity of living in one of Oakville's most storied neighbourhoods. Warm, welcoming, and rich in character, it offers a lifestyle built on history, charm, and community. It invites you to honour its history while making it distinctly your own.
