172 Dundas St W

One of Napanee's iconic brick masterpieces of Upper Canada/Italianate blended architecture - Sitting on Napanee's prestigious “Piety Hill”, this truly unique property is steeped in history and elegant charm. Built in 1871 and part of the original Cartwright Estate, this property has changed hands for generations between mayors, merchants and families that have played significant roles in the history of Napanee. The home is brimming with character, surpassing craftsmanship and gorgeous design features - the sweeping staircase in the grand front entrance, the folding doors in the parlour and living room, the beautiful hardwood floors, built in cabinets and fireplaces, rear servants stairwell to the kitchen and the two storey porch & balcony - the list of extraordinary design elements goes on. The home is configured for five bedrooms (with original closets) and has two full washrooms with the second floor washroom having direct en-suite access from the primary bedroom. The one-of-a-kind brick carriage house with private driveway access is an amazing bonus as having a garage and additional storage is very unusual for this vintage of home in Upper Canada. The lovely yard and gardens are beautiful while remaining low maintenance and a pleasure to regard from the massive windows of the home or while enjoying the wrap around porch or from the privacy of the back deck. The interior of the home has had exceptional work done over the past couple of years with painting & decor, original floors uncovered, some kitchen redesign and significant updates to the electrical and plumbing. A property of rare elegance and quality, framed in tasteful sophistication - every room has a wonderful story to tell. (id:54626)
