Cross Streets: Corner of Abel Street and Jessie Street. ** Directions: One block west of Brockville Street on the corner of Abel Street and Jessie Street in Smiths Falls. Nestled in the very heart of Smiths Falls, just steps from the tranquil Rideau Canal, this remarkable 1887 residence stands as a living testament to history, family, and enduring love. Passed down through five generations, this home has been cherished from the moment it was built-a place where stories were shared, memories were made, and the warmth of family life filled every room. From the moment you step inside, the character of this timeless home embraces you. The expansive living room and spacious dining room were designed for gathering-spaces where laughter lingers long after meals end and where holidays, milestones, and everyday moments have been celebrated for well over a century. Every corner speaks of care and charm, offering the perfect blend of historical grace and inviting functionality equipped with a forced air furnace and central air-conditioning. Outside, the property continues to impress with a metal roof and situated on a rare, oversized in-town corner lot. The massive backyard is ideal for gardening, entertaining, or simply enjoying peaceful afternoons under the open sky. With two driveways and an impressive three-car garage (with upper loft), there is ample space for vehicles, hobbies, and storage-an uncommon luxury in such a central location. And then, of course, there is Smiths Falls itself: a welcoming community known for its small-town warmth, stunning waterway views, thriving local shops, and walkable streets. Living here means being just moments from scenic canal paths, cozy cafés, parks, schools, and all the charm this growing town has to offer. It is a place where neighbours still wave, where history meets modern convenience, and where life moves at a pace that invites you to breathe a little deeper. This is more than a house-it is a legacy, a sanctuary, and a rare opportunity to own a piece of Smiths Falls' history. Now, it's ready to welcome its next chapter and the new family who will fill it with love for generations to come. (id:27476)
