$849,900
Welcome to 136 King Street South in the quiet village of Highgate. This stately Victorian home, built in the 1800s, sits proudly on a rare double lot and showcases original terracotta brick and intricate gingerbread trim, professionally painted in 2025. All windows and doors have been capped in black aluminum, and the property is fully enclosed with a custom seven-foot reclaimed barn beam fence, offering privacy and a distinctive character. Inside, you're welcomed by a grand original staircase, soaring 10-foot ceilings on both levels, 12-inch baseboards, crown mouldings, ornate ceiling medallions, and original cast iron radiators. The open-concept main level is spacious, filled with charm, and offers a potential main floor bedroom. The kitchen blends historic detail with modern updates, featuring a farmhouse sink, classic backsplash, durable countertops, a double-door fridge from 2021, a gas range and dishwasher installed in 2025, and the convenience of the original butler staircase. Upstairs, you'll find four generously sized bedrooms, including a spacious primary suite with its own dressing room. The upstairs bathroom includes a beautifully reglazed original cast iron clawfoot tub, perfect for relaxing. The full-height basement with a repointed fieldstone foundation includes laundry with a new dryer added in 2024. The outdoor space offers a large workshop or garage, a custom-built chicken coop with permit, a fifty-foot garden with perennial garlic and asparagus, and plenty of room to enjoy both sunrises from the Juliet balcony and sunsets over the western farmland. Just five minutes from Highway 401, Highgate offers a peaceful small-town lifestyle with convenient local amenities including a post office, diner, library, legion, and the Mary Webb Centre for arts and culture. You're also a short drive to Thamesville, Ridgetown, Blenheim, Chatham, beaches, parks, and seasonal markets. A truly unique opportunity to own a beautifully maintained historic home! (id:59646)
