Some homes have a feeling, and this is one you'll remember. Welcome to The Water House, a beautifully restored 1895 brick home steps from Inverlea Park and the Otonabee River. Thoughtfully curated, every space has been designed with intention, creativity, and everyday living in mind, blending timeless character with modern comfort. A welcoming front porch sets the tone before you step inside to a bright interior filled with warmth and character. Soaring ceilings, original architectural details, and carefully considered updates create a home that celebrates its history while offering the ease of contemporary living. The main floor offers generous yet inviting living spaces, including a sun-filled living room with fireplace, a spacious dining room perfect for gathering, and a large kitchen with new appliances, plenty of storage and prep space with an island for slow mornings or relaxed evenings. Off the dining room is a retreat-like bathroom complete with a soaker tub, shower, and calming, moody finishes. Upstairs, you'll find three bedrooms, a 3-piece bath, and convenient laundry. The primary bedroom features a built-in window bench, the perfect place to unwind. The backyard is a peaceful, private oasis with landscaped gardens and a large deck with multiple entertaining areas. A charming studio space offers a workspace or quiet escape while two additional sheds provide excellent storage. A mature sugar maple tree offers shade throughout the summer and the opportunity to make your own maple syrup. An EV charger adds modern convenience for today's lifestyle.The basement delivers unexpected character with exposed stone walls and wood beam ceilings, creating a cozy speakeasy-inspired retreat perfect for movie nights, listening to vinyl, or escaping at the end of the day. This is a home of considered spaces and thoughtful design. Located just minutes from Trent, transit and countless amenities, The Water House offers a rare balance of creativity, nature and convenience. (id:58136)
