Cross Streets: MAIN STREET W & CENTRE STREET N. ** Directions: Main St W to Lorne St N to #5. Some homes carry a presence you feel the moment you arrive. 5 Lorne Street is one of them. Built in 1897, this treasured Huntsville century home blends history, charm, & everyday functionality in a way that is increasingly hard to find. Tall ceilings, expansive principal rooms, and natural light highlight the craftsmanship of a bygone era, while thoughtful updates make it well suited for modern family living. The main floor offers warm & welcoming living spaces designed for daily life & entertaining. At the heart of the home is an updated kitchen (2022) featuring quality appliances, exposed wood beams, and a central island that flows into the adjoining dining & living areas, creating a natural gathering place for family meals, celebrations, & quiet evenings at home by the fireplace. With approximately 2500 sq ft, 6 beds, & 2 baths, there is flexibility for growing families, guests, home offices, or hobby spaces. The third floor adds bonus space, ideal as a recreation room, teen retreat, playroom, or creative studio. Outside, a welcoming front porch is made for morning coffee, while the back deck and landscaped gardens create private outdoor spaces for entertaining and unwinding. Surrounded by mature trees, the property offers privacy rarely found in-town, with seasonal lake views from the deck. Adding even more versatility is the detached garage with a self-contained studio featuring a kitchenette & 3-piece bath. Supported by commercial zoning, it offers endless possibilities including guest accommodations, multi-generational living, a private office, home-based business, or rental income. Key updates include roof (2024), furnace & A/C (2022), kitchen (2022), deck (2022), and laundry (2022). Municipal water/sewer & natural gas add convenience.
