A home that looks like a different house from every angle, with the original woodwork, leaded glass and private gardens that make you want to stay a little longer. Recognized with a design award in 1911 for its concrete construction, this distinctive Dundas home was once home to the town’s first librarian. A welcoming front porch opens to a main floor with 10-foot ceilings, oak and pine floors, and beautiful original millwork. The living room features a gas fireplace and built-in bookcases with leaded-glass doors, a detail echoed in the cabinetry of the large central dining room. Three main-floor bedrooms, including a generous primary, and a three-piece bath make the layout especially flexible. A side porch off the kitchen offers another spot to sit, while the elevated three-season sunroom has an oak ceiling and a lovely view south over the gardens. Upstairs, the former apartment offers three rooms, including a large bedroom and a second room that once served as a kitchen. A shared bath with a clawfoot tub adds to the character, and the extra space gives you room to imagine a guest retreat, studio or home office. Outside, mature cedars and armor stone frame a quiet, private garden with year-round interest. There’s a rear storage shed, a basement walkout and plenty of extra storage. Updates include a furnace (2025), central air (2022), a 200-amp electrical panel and an owned water heater. Full of charm as it stands, with room to make it your own.
