257 Ontario Street, Stratford
LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION! Prime opportunity in the heart of Stratford, just steps from downtown and minutes from the Stratford Festival Theatre. Built in 1904, this charming red brick century home has been proudly owned by the same family for over five decades, and formally operated as a B&B. Full of character and history, it offers a rare opportunity in one of Stratford’s most desirable neighbourhoods. The home features five bedrooms across two levels, with three upstairs and two on the main floor. The main floor offers flexible living space, including a front room currently used as a bedroom, separated by a non-structural wall that may be removed to restore a larger open living area. The rear addition, which includes the kitchen and a back room, is the primary area ready for renovation and presents excellent potential for modernization. A standout feature is the large backyard, offering exceptional space for gardening, entertaining, and family enjoyment. Located within walking distance of schools, shops, restaurants, theatres, and all downtown amenities, this is a rare opportunity to own a character filled home in a premier Stratford location.
