301 DUFFERIN STREET — Fort Erie (Central), Ontario

Some homes are built. This one was built to last, and loved every year since. Set on a corner lot in Fort Erie, 301 Dufferin has been a cherished family home since 1930, and the care shows the moment you step inside. The original character was never stripped away. Deep-stained wood trim, solid wood doors, built-in cabinetry and warm hardwood floors run throughout, the kind of craftsmanship you cannot replicate today. The dining room was made for long dinners with a full table, and the main floor flows easily from room to room. Four bedrooms spread across two levels, with the upper storey tucked under classic 1.5-storey angles that add charm at every turn. Forced air heat and central air keep things comfortable year round, and the full basement offers storage and room to grow. Newer siding, flashing, windows and roof mean the big-ticket exterior work is already done, backed by solid mechanicals. You get the character of a 1930s home with few of the headaches. Out back, the detached two-car garage is a standout, ready for a workshop, hobbies, storage or two vehicles under cover. The corner lot brings extra light, mature hedges for privacy, and a deep backyard with room for whatever you dream up, right down to a winter skating rink like the one this family built every winter. Homes kept with this much pride, by one family for generations, do not come along often. Book your showing before it is gone. (id:63357)
