1276 Swan Street, Ayr

Welcome to 1276 Swan Street — a rare opportunity to own a character-filled bungalow on one of Ayr’s most scenic streets. The home’s curb appeal includes a stone-accented central façade with a covered portico and columns, painted shutters, mature shade trees and a well-manicured lawn that enhance the street presence. This thoughtfully designed 3-bedroom, 3-bath home offers 1,900 sq. ft. of main floor living space, with an additional 700 sq. ft. of finished walk-out basement — all nestled on a double-wide lot backing onto environmentally protected greenspace and the peaceful Nith River. Set on over one-half of an acre, the outdoor space is a private retreat. Enjoy the serenity of a cascading waterfall flowing into a tranquil pond, gather around the fire pit under the stars, or stroll through lush perennial gardens and a thriving vegetable patch. An upper deck with a covered gazebo overlooks this picturesque setting — perfect for entertaining or simply unwinding. Inside, the layout blends timeless charm with modern utility. The main floor features a warm, inviting living and dining area with century-old accents including hand-hewn pine floors, along with a spacious kitchen and oversized walk-in pantry. The living area is bright and inviting with a vaulted ceiling, neutral carpeting, a focal fireplace with a white mantel and built-in shelving, plus sliding glass doors that open directly to the upper deck and gazebo. The kitchen showcases warm oak cabinetry, abundant counter space, and a generous center island with casual seating — offering great sightlines to the yard and easy flow for entertaining. A dedicated home office with built-in desk and cabinetry, and a smart separation between the entertaining wing and the private bedroom area provide flexibility and function. The lower level adds significant value with a bright third bedroom, a modern 3-piece bath with walk-in glass shower, a second office area, and a spacious family room that opens to a lower patio. The lower family room benefits from large windows and direct walk-out access to the paved lower patio, while the contemporary lower bath features tile work and a glass-enclosed walk-in shower. There's also a large workshop space and a second rear walk-out for easy access. Additional highlights include main floor laundry, ample storage, and a wide paved driveway and parking area with room for up to six vehicles. Located just a short walk to Ayr’s charming downtown, you’re close to schools, parks, libraries, arenas, and quick access to Highway 401 — with Kitchener, Cambridge, Paris, and Woodstock all within 20 minutes. This is more than just a home — it’s a lifestyle defined by peace, privacy, and community. Come experience it for yourself. (id:1945)
