Property Description
Character, Sustainability, & Room to Grow in the Heart of Owen Sound. Offered at $549,000 Canadian Dollars (USD pricing is approximate - the Canadian Dollar Price is the actual asking price and takes precedence).
Tucked away in a private, sun-drenched setting that balances seclusion with urban convenience, this exceptional 4-bedroom, 1.5-bath century home features a premium green retrofit, a separate audio studio, and over 2,500 sq. ft. of character-filled living space.
The main floor features a formal living room and a large formal dining room, both featuring vintage fireplaces. A generous, updated kitchen with tons of storage, second sink/ wet bar and open views to the family room and garden is ideal for entertaining and family life. The main floor also includes a spacious family room and main floor bedroom or home office. The studio is insulated and acoustically designed for recording, YouTubing, or for use as a media room or studio. Equipped with its own independent 2025 heat pump system, it provides the ultimate professional setup for a musician, podcaster, or remote worker, and has a separate garden entrance.
Upstairs, the expansive primary retreat includes space for a private sitting area, with large South and West facing windows and charming fireplace. The second floor also features two additional bedrooms with large closets, sunlit hallway with space for bookshelves and a potential crafting zone, a secondary hallway with additional storage space, and a bright, spacious upstairs laundry room with deep freezer. Back staircase offers convenient access from the laundry room to the kitchen.
The insulated attic offers fantastic potential for additional future living space.
The home runs completely fossil-free, with enhanced insulation, new triple-glazed windows throughout, induction stove, exterior outlet ready to charge your EV, and high-performance mechanicals updated in 2024/25. Heating and cooling are powered by a cold-climate air-source heat pump, paired with a heat pump hot water system and a new 200-amp electrical service. A spray-foam insulated foundation and attic couple with triple-glazed windows (2024) to ensure an exceptionally quiet, energy-efficient interior. Outside, an exterior outlet near the driveway offers convenient overnight EV trickle-charging.
Step outside into a West-facing private front yard featuring a rebuilt covered porch with a classic swinging couch, two productive apple trees, flowers, sweetgrass, and two hazelnut bushes. The rear South-facing garden provides 7 raised beds for growing vegetables, fruits and herbs, with views of a beautifully restored historic site to the South and lush, treed hill to the East.
Just a few steps away is a park with ball diamond, community gardens, food forest and footpath and stairs up to an outdoor track, skate park and the YMCA with superb indoor pool, fitness and family activities. Enjoy great walking access to downtown including the year-round Owen Sound farmers' market, harbour, music venues, grocery store, local shops, dining and scenic waterfront strolls.
