Historically significant six to eight-bedroom home in the heart of Rothesay
Pick a pear from one of the many fruit-laden trees. Have a plum, apple or some blueberries. Jump into the inviting heated inground pool or relax in the glorious warmth of the backyard spa. Set in the heart of Rothesay, this property offers up privacy and luxury. And you haven’t even seen the house yet!
Known as The Cottage, this home, which dates back to 1848, is believed to have been the fifth house built in Rothesay. The stunning main entry hall, along with the dining room and formal living room, paints a picture of the grandeur of days gone by.
The expansive dining room features lovely maple hardwood flooring, detailed ceiling medallions, a walk-out bay window and a fireplace. The formal living room, an equally impressive space, offers more maple flooring, a second fireplace, along with built-in shelves and cupboards.
The bright and sunny eat-in kitchen has been modernized with plenty of cabinets, loads of counter space, a breakfast bar and new stainless steel appliances which are included in the sale. This room leads to a functional butler’s pantry with sink and cupboards. The large and very private backyard deck is accessed from the pantry – the perfect set up for al fresco dining.
A lovely sunroom lined with ceramic tile is a recent addition to the home. This large, yet cozy, room is bound to be a favourite escape. Double doors lead from the sunroom to the fence- in backyard, where you’ll find the pool, spa, pool house, deck, pond and many gorgeous perennials.
And there’s more … This level also includes a laundry room, work room, bathroom, and an office.
Take either the original maid’s stairs or the formal staircase to the second floor where you will find eight, yes, I said eight, bedrooms. Among them is the master bedroom, which includes an ensuite bathroom. The home’s third bathroom is found on this level, as well as many built-in book shelves and cupboards.
With a stunning, private yard, and mere minutes walk to the Rothesay Common, RYC, several churches and all three levels of schooling, this truly impressive home is perfect for a large family.
