Built in 1907, this thoughtfully preserved century home offers the charm, craftsmanship, and warmth that only historic homes can provide, paired with updates that make everyday living comfortable and effortless. From the moment you step inside, the character is unmistakable. Nine-foot ceilings, original architectural details, and sun-filled rooms create an atmosphere that feels both elegant and welcoming. Custom built-ins frame the living and dining spaces, offering beautiful storage for books, glassware, and collected pieces that make a home truly personal. The second floor offers three bright bedrooms and a full bath, each space reflecting the quiet charm of a home that has stood for more than a century. Above it all sits one of the most enchanting spaces in the home the finished attic retreat. With vaulted ceilings, dormer windows, and wide plank floors, it feels like something out of a storybook. Whether imagined as a private primary suite, creative studio, or peaceful reading loft overlooking the rooftops of Preston, it is a space that invites both comfort and imagination. Outside, the fully fenced backyard feels like a private garden, surrounded by mature greenery and offering a quiet place to relax or entertain. A gated driveway provides parking for two vehicles — a welcome convenience for homes of this era. Located in the heart of historic Preston, this beautifully maintained century semi-detached home offers a lifestyle that is increasingly hard to find. From here you can stroll to local cafés, restaurants, and shops, explore the nearby Grand River trails, and still reach the 401 in just minutes for an easy commute. Century homes are never identical. Each one carries its own story, craftsmanship, and personality. This one offers the rare opportunity to enjoy historic character, timeless charm, and modern comfort in one of Cambridge’s most beloved neighbourhoods. A home like this isn’t simply purchased. It’s chosen.
