Cross Streets: Lampton Street & Princes Street N. ** Directions: From Lambpton Street, turn south onto Princes St. to property on west side of street. Steps from Kincardine's main street shops, restaurants, and Victoria Park, this 154-year-old heritage home on historic Princes Street pairs old-world character with thoughtful, modern updates. The main home offers 2,400 sq. ft. of finished living space and was extensively renovated in 2012, all while preserving its architectural charm.Comfort is well looked after with an updated high-efficiency gas furnace providing economical heating and cooling through the changing seasons. With its historic architectural details throughout, every room has its own distinct feel-from the "maid's quarters" and separate back stairwell that hint at how the original owners lived, to the renovated "summer" kitchen/pantry overlooking the gardens, offering extra prep space and storage that's ideal for entertaining.Key building upgrades include shingles on both the house and coach house (2015), custom Georgian-style windows in both buildings (2012), additional attic insulation, and recently updated plumbing. Outside, mature perennial gardens, flagstone walkways, and the coach house backdrop create a private, picturesque setting in the heart of Kincardine's Heritage District.The 2,000 sq. ft. coach house is a standout bonus. The main level serves as a two-vehicle garage with plenty of room for storage, while the rear portion has been extensively and tastefully finished as a working studio space. With its generous size, separate levels, and existing services, this versatile building offers excellent potential for additional living space or, with the addition of a bathroom (and subject to municipal approvals), a future separate dwelling-ideal for multi-generational living, a home-based business, or income-generating accommodation.
