Circa 1895 | Nearly 2 Acres | Alexandria. Some homes are built. Some are lived in. And every so often, a home becomes part of a family's history. Welcome to one of Glengarry County's most treasured rural properties - a beautifully preserved Victorian farmhouse where timeless character blends with thoughtful modern updates. For more than 130 years this homestead has stood proudly over the countryside, cared for by only three families and once home to a family who raised thirteen children. Arrive beneath the grand sugar maple that has welcomed visitors for generations and you'll know at once: this isn't another rural property - it's home. Inside, nine-foot ceilings, abundant light and preserved architectural details create an atmosphere both elegant and welcoming, while a newer insulated, gas-heated rear addition extends the living space. At its heart is a stunning custom country kitchen with handcrafted antiqued maple cabinetry, KitchenAid appliances and an island seating four, plus a butler's pantry with commercial-grade sink(and basement access). The 4-season sunroom offers a fireplace, panoramic views and west-facing sunsets.Outside is a true hobby farm: above ground pool, 700sq ft deck, hard-top gazebo and 2025 firepit; apple, pear and cherry orchards; a Marquette grape vineyard; edible gardens of berries and a variety of veggies to feed your family; a heated year-round SunGro greenhouse; and the original 1895 barn with chicken coop, goat, pony and birthing stalls, animal runs and workshop.Well-equipped with 200-amp service plus a 100-amp barn panel, a Generac whole-property generator, drilled well with new pump, reverse osmosis and softener, new roof, Elgin septic, Regency woodstove, updated bathrooms and steel doors. Minutes from Alexandria with VIA Rail service to Ottawa and Montréal - roughly 1 hour to Ottawa, 45 min to Montréal's airport, 15 min to Highway 401. More than a house, this is a legacy property and an exceptional country lifestyle. Welcome home. (id:28469)
