You're right across from the Speed River, with canoe access steps away. This 1865 Quebec stone farmhouse sits on a massive 139x175 ft lot in Hespeler Village, so you get that historic charm plus a private backyard with an 18x36 ft pool and cabana. The stone facade is just the start: inside, you'll find 11-foot ceilings, pine floors, leaded glass windows, and gumwood trim that screams craftsmanship. The centre hall plan flows into a dining room with floor-to-ceiling windows facing the gardens, and two fireplaces anchor the main living spaces. With 4 beds and 2 baths across over 3,000 sq ft, there's a dedicated office on the main level and a family room. The kitchen is functional but could use a modern touch, and the basement is unfinished, so you've got room to make it your own. The circular driveway and separate drive to the detached garage give plenty of parking (7 spots total). You're 5 km to St. Benedict Catholic Secondary School, 4.9 km to Cambridge Centre, and 7 km to the airport. Taxes run about $7,871 annually, and it's listed at $1.65M. This is a rare piece of history with serious curb appeal, but the interior needs some updating to match the exterior's wow factor.
