Cross Streets: Queen St & Anderson St. ** Directions: From downtown Smiths Falls, travel east on Beckwith Street South and turn right onto Queen Street. Continue along Queen Street to 5 Queen Street. The property will be located on the left-hand side. Affectionately known as the Butterfly House, this solid brick bungalow has been lovingly cared by the same owner for the past 4 decades. You'll find customized wood working throughout, with every handcrafted detail telling a story, creating a home that is as unique as it is welcoming. It was here that family gathered, memories were made, and evenings were spent laughing and dancing around the kitchen table, a testament to the warmth and joy this home has inspired over the years. The bright main floor features original hardwood flooring, a sun-filled living room, a spacious eat-in kitchen with an abundance of custom cabinetry, elegant crown moulding, where, for the past 40 years, the aroma of homemade pies fresh from the oven has been as much a part of this home as the memories created within its walls. Two bedrooms and a 4pc bath complete this floor. The inviting sunporch is temperature controlled for all seasons, offering additional living space and side door access, presenting potential for a future in-law suite or basement apartment. The lower level includes a third bedroom, generous sized family room, laundry room with storage, potential for additional 3pc bath, and a dedicated workshop in the utility room. This home is perfect for hobbyists, DIYers, or anyone in need of a creative workspace. Outside, you'll find another standout feature: a detached workshop with storage loft, providing even more room for projects, storage, or year-round tinkering. Whether you're a first-time buyer, professional couple, empty-nesters looking to downsize, or searching for a property with future potential, this home is truly one of a kind. Ideally located within walking distance to downtown Smiths Falls, close to schools, parks, and just moments from the historic Rideau Canal, this home offers the perfect balance of charm, convenience, and community. If you appreciate homes with personality, timeless craftsmanship, and a story worth continuing, this is one you won't want to miss. (id:27476)
