431 Coombs Street, North Huron

Attractive one-and-three-quarter storey century-old home on a corner lot, adorned with old maple trees and other green foliage in an expansive lawn. The painted grey exterior features gabled dormers, a concrete walkway and small front steps, and a covered front veranda with decorative turned posts and a lattice-style balustrade with climbing vines. A covered front veranda looks onto a beautiful memorial park across the road. The house interior emanates old-fashioned elegance, from original hardwood trim in all the rooms (including wide door casings, baseboards and built-in cabinetry visible in the photos), plus hardwood flooring in the hallways and traditional living/dining room (the living room shown with a large picture window and plush red seating), juxtaposed with updated windows throughout the house, wall-to-wall plush carpeting in three upstairs bedrooms (all with closets) and going up the stairs, and main floor modern kitchen adjoining the laundry room. The house's two bathrooms are the four-piece main floor bathroom and the second-floor smaller bathroom with a shower. Other features include an updated gas furnace and central heating system (equipment located in the basement), a solid stone foundation, a sump pump, a rented water softener system (basement photo shows the softener tank and associated plumbing) that includes a reverse osmosis filter tap in the kitchen and, as well, an attached garage/workshop. Located a few blocks east of the Village of Blyth's main street provides the excellent balance of walking distance to the renowned Blyth Theatre, the Blyth Inn community pub, plus various shops filled with locally-produced goods, yet far enough from these creative activities to enjoy quiet and privacy when at home. Blyth's other noteworthy attractions include the Cowbell Brewery Co. restaurant and shop on the edge of a growing town, and various trails which include being directly connected to the Goderich to Guelph Rail Trail (G2G), while surrounded by the bucolic splendour of extensive agricultural fields and woodlots in all directions.
