Property Description
Let the iconic lighthouse on Simcoe's Crystal Lake welcome you home to this enchanting century residence, nestled in the heart of downtown Simcoe's vibrant park system. Set on an impressive nearly ¼-acre lot, this character-filled 2-storey home blends timeless craftsmanship with unbeatable location—directly across from the lighthouse and just steps from the historic Carillon Tower.
This deceptively spacious home invites you in with a large, covered 22-foot front porch offering tranquil views of the lake and lush parkland. Step inside to discover a beautifully preserved interior, where chestnut wood trim, French glass doors, and a stunning, original 1912 stained glass window in the front foyer tell stories of a bygone era. The main floor features a generous kitchen with custom-built cabinetry and access through the convenient mudroom to the back deck. A formal dining room and an oversized living room with a cozy fireplace are enhanced by large, updated windows that bathe the space in natural light. Upstairs, you'll find three comfortable bedrooms and a bright, window-wrapped sunroom—perfect for a home office, studio, nursery or reading nook. The updated 4-piece bathroom includes access to a walk-up unfinished attic, offering potential for even more living space or a future primary suite. The full-height basement is ready for your vision—boasting a workshop area, wine cellar potential, laundry space, 3-piece bathroom, and ample storage or future office. Outside, enjoy a deep backyard oasis with a large raised deck and impressive workshop options: a triple-depth 41'x10.5' garage/shop with hydro, plus an additional 16'x10' powered outbuilding. The long driveway accommodates up to 5 vehicles. Experience year-round excitement with Simcoe's renowned events like the Friendship Festival and the dazzling Christmas Panorama—right at your doorstep. Don't miss this rare opportunity to own a piece of Simcoe's history in one of its most scenic, walkable locations!
