453 Mill Street, Centre Wellington

Discover a rare retreat on the edge of the Irvine Creek Gorge, where privacy, luxury, and nature come together on a secluded 82' x 282' ft lot. With more than 4,100 sq. ft. of finished living space exploding with upgrades, this 5-bedroom, 3-bath home is truly one of a kind. The professionally landscaped property is designed for entertaining, featuring armour stone gardens, aggregate walkways, and lush greenery that blends naturally with its surroundings. The backyard is a showstopper: a 18' x 42' on-ground pool (solar + gas heated), 14' x 14' gazebo, hot tub, glass railings set upon a high end, low maintenance and sustainably sourced thermally baked ash hardwood deck that highlights the unobstructed views of the gorge and the soothing sound of cascading water. A generous deck and multiple oversized sliders from the main living areas create seamless indoor-outdoor flow, with integrated steps down to the pool area and clear sightlines across the mature, tree-lined yard. Aerial views show ample parking with a long driveway and attached garage, and the home tucked into a private treed setting for maximum seclusion. Inside, the main floor welcomes you with refinished cherry hardwood (2024), shiplap ceilings, custom lighting, and a dramatic stone fireplace. The updated kitchen offers modern appliances—stainless steel appliances, granite counters and tile backsplash—and an efficient layout with a peninsula/breakfast bar and direct access to the deck and pool, making it ideal for hosting. Three oversized sliders extend your living space outdoors. A bright main-floor den/office (or bedroom) features a wall of windows that frame the backyard greenery and provide abundant natural light, while select bedrooms include contemporary ceiling fans and large picture windows to capture the views. The large primary suite is a private retreat with a double-sided fireplace, spa-inspired ensuite, and custom walk-in closet. The ensuite bath is finished with a contemporary black vanity, tiled walls and floor, and a glass-enclosed walk-in shower. Upstairs, you'll find generously sized bedrooms with maple hardwood and conveniently located laundry. The finished lower level includes a beautiful wood stove, stone accent wall, gym space, and custom cherry stair treads. All of this, just minutes from Elora and Fergus, with boutique shops, cafés, and the Elora Gorge Conservation Area close by, this property offers a rare lifestyle of luxury living surrounded by nature and small-town charm. Notable updates: roof (2014), A/C (2018), pressure tank (2023), Pool Heater (2023) Well Pump (2025), and a full water purification system. (id:1945)
