$879,900
Welcome to one of Stratford's treasured heritage homes-a remarkable Gothic Revival residence dating back to 1866, the year of Confederation. Set on an impressive 84' x 130' corner lot just steps from Stratford's renowned theatres, restaurants, boutiques, and vibrant downtown, this extraordinary property offers the rare opportunity to own a piece of the city's history. With over 2,500 square feet of living space, the home showcases the craftsmanship and grandeur of a bygone era. Soaring 12 foot ceilings, a striking three-storey winding staircase, dramatic archways, intricate plaster mouldings, and beautifully preserved architectural details create an unforgettable first impression. Among its most unique features are the custom bedroom door knockers, once used to announce curtain calls-a charming nod to Stratford's celebrated theatrical heritage. The home offers four exceptionally spacious bedrooms, each with impressive ceiling heights and timeless character. The basement features an uncommon 9 foot ceiling and a walk-up to the backyard, offering excellent potential for additional living space. Its distinguished history includes owners such as William Buckingham, owner and editor of The Beacon Herald and personal secretary to Canada's second Prime Minister, as well as William Needles, celebrated actor and founding Chancellor of the University of Waterloo, adding another remarkable chapter to the home's legacy. Outside, mature trees, established gardens, and beautiful landscaping provide privacy and curb appeal, while the detached garage, shed, and expansive corner lot offer space to relax and entertain. Rich in character, steeped in history, and ideally located in one of Stratford's most walkable neighbourhoods, this is more than a home-it's an opportunity to become the next steward of one of the city's architectural treasures.
