"There is no remedy for love but to love more." - Thoreau. The same might be said for houses: some homes simply invite you to fall in love, again and again. This turn-of-the-century gem in Eastons Corners blends timeless character with thoughtful renovations, offering space, potential, and a lifestyle steeped in both history and possibility. Set on an impressive 180-foot lot with potential for severance, this property invites creative vision while providing an immediately livable and welcoming home. The main floor balances function and charm: a spacious eat-in kitchen with brand-new appliances anchors family life, while a large living room offers room for gathering and relaxation. Practical features are tucked neatly into place, including main floor laundry, a powder room, and interior access to a heated, insulated workshop - once a garage, and easily converted back if desired. The workshop includes built-in cabinetry and a utility sink for projects and cleanup, and its interior access makes it a true year-round workspace. The main entry and connecting hall show durable vinyl plank flooring that flows through much of the living space, and the home’s palette includes soft, soothing tones (seen in the pale green main areas and a sunny, soft-yellow bedroom) that create a bright, welcoming feel. The main bedroom pictured features a ceiling fan and tasteful staging that highlights its generous proportions. Upstairs, three generously sized bedrooms and a full bath offer comfort and privacy, while a loft area expands the possibilities for a reading nook, office, or play space. Even more potential lies above the workshop, where an unfinished loft - already insulated and heated - awaits transformation into an artist’s studio, guest retreat, or media room. That upper loft is shown largely finished in the photos with vinyl plank flooring, recessed lighting, fresh paint and a white railing — essentially a move-forward space needing final personal touches. System updates bring peace of mind: furnace (2018), hot water tank (2019), most vinyl windows, and Bell Fibe available at the street. Outdoors, the deep lot provides endless opportunity - gardens, play spaces, future development, or simply wide-open sky to call your own. Aerial photos illustrate the long, level rear yard, ample parking and driveway access to the outbuilding, and a neighbourhood pattern that supports potential severance. Perfectly positioned between Merrickville and Smiths Falls, you're close to historic charm, schools, and amenities, while enjoying the quiet of a rural hamlet. (id:1945)
