Welcome to the esteemed 24 Faulkner, where history lives on in pristine perfection. Built in 1908 by John C. Reid, Dufferin County's first clerk, this Edwardian gem is a rare testament to Orangeville's past, gracefully preserved & lovingly updated for modern life. The stately facade of local red brick, stone accents, symmetrical lines, broad roofline & cedar shingled gables reflect timeless architecture. Imagine the conversations held over the last century on the covered front porch, w original features including stained glass window. Inside, floor-to-ceiling elegance sets this home apart. Soaring 9ft coved ceilings feature unique patterns in each room. 12" baseboards ground the space in historical craftsmanship while adding a sense of grandeur. The family & dining rooms are divided by an original pocket door, allowing for both flow and intimacy depending on the occasion. In the dining rm, a striking, original bay window offers views of the beautifully landscaped side yard. The heart of the home, a modern kitchen with center island, intentionally designed cupboard storage & beautiful quartz counters, leads out to a covered back porch, perfect for enjoying summer suppers alfresco. Hardwood floors grace much of the home, with softwood cleverly tucked under tables & rugs, an original builder's trick to balance beauty with budget. The 2nd floor hosts four generous bedrooms, with soaring ceilings, large closets & big, beautiful windows. A classic claw-foot tub & walk-in shower complete the luxurious main bath. Ascend to the third-floor primary suite, a tranquil retreat with spa-like ensuite, soaker tub, double vanity, walk-in shower, and your dream walk in closet. The rare finished basement adds yet another living space to this 2395 sq ft home. This property neighbours only the quiet grounds of ODSS, coming alive for just a few moments at bell time. With historical records from the original $1700 build cost still intact, this home is not only a treasure, it's a legacy. (id:25312)
