TAYLOR-PHILIPS HOUSE | 20 Sherwood St. | c.1882. A Rare Piece of Architectural History. Welcome to the Taylor-Philips House, a captivating Victorian-era residence built circa 1882, nestled in the heart of one of the city's most storied neighborhoods. Located at 20 Sherwood Street, this timeless home offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of local heritage thoughtfully preserved, yet tastefully updated for modern living. Steeped in character, the home showcases hallmark period details: ornate millwork, high ceilings, original hardwood floors, and a grand front porch framed by gingerbread trim. Sunlight streams through oversized windows, illuminating the graceful flow between parlors, a formal dining room, and an updated kitchen that balances vintage charm with contemporary function. With generous living space across multiple levels, the home features 5 bedrooms, multiple fireplaces, and a private garden retreat with a stunning verandah anchored with stone based pillars and cedar ceilings, ideal for quiet mornings or evening entertaining. Every corner tells a story, from the hand-carved banisters to the preserved architectural flourishes that echo its 19th-century roots. Tucked away on the upper level at the rear of the property is an accessory studio apartment accessed by a separate staircase from the north side entry -- perfect for guests, a care-taker, extended family, or potential rental income. A large, unfinished attic provides an exciting opportunity to create even more living area ideal for an additional suite, studio, or loft. A single-car detached garage and seasonal views of the St. Lawrence River add even more appeal to this unique offering. Whether you're a preservation enthusiast or simply seeking a home with true soul, the Taylor-Philips House invites you to be part of its ongoing legacy. Historic, elegant and enduring. Now is your chance to become a chapter in history at 20 Sherwood Street in downtown Brockville. (id:28469)
