Cross Streets: Center St N/Dundas St W. ** Directions: Entrance and driveway on Donald St. turn off Dundas St W. Built in 1871 and quietly anchoring one of Napanee's most established streets, this stately triple brick Victorian offers five bedrooms and two baths and sits just a five-minute walk from the downtown core, riverfront boardwalk, parks, schools, hospital, and local boutiques. Set within historic Napanee, the home reflects an era when craftsmanship was intentional and architectural detail mattered.Original wood floors run throughout the light-filled principal rooms. A graceful arched doorway connects the family and sitting rooms, while two fireplaces, one marble and one oak, anchor the main living spaces. Ten-inch baseboards, extended height windows, solid double doors, and a striking bannister speak to a level of construction rarely replicated today. Main floor laundry offers everyday convenience without compromising character.Upstairs, the primary bedroom opens onto a private upper porch, a peaceful perch for evening sunsets. Generous porches extend the living space outdoors, offering multiple vantage points from which to enjoy the gardens and neighbourhood streetscape. The full, dry basement provides substantial storage and workshop space. A shared drive leads to the original two-storey carriage house, where a historic horse stall remains intact beneath lofted storage, a rare and increasingly uncommon survivor of the Victorian era. Meticulously maintained and thoughtfully preserved, this is an opportunity to steward a significant nineteenth-century home in one of Ontario's most charming small towns. (id:27476)
