130 Main Street

Original Remarks

Step into a rare piece of Gananoque history at 130 Main Street - a captivating circa-1870 Victorian home on a peninsula the corner of Main and Clarence Street! Amazing location that is in eyesight of the 1000 Islands Cruises waterfront, and just steps to the renowned Riva Restaurant. This timeless architectural gem is truly one of a kind and situated in a fairy tail neighbourhood setting. The home is surrounded by lush perennial gardens, and mature hedged borders that create a private oasis in the heart of town. The stunning wrap-around veranda invites you to relax and take in the character of this historic neighbourhood, while the 80-year-old peonies lining the front walkway add a storybook touch. Inside, the home blends Victorian craftsmanship with thoughtful modern updates. The spacious main floor features 10 ft ceilings, bay windows, a large formal living room, expansive dining room, oversized kitchen, and an additional bedroom or office space ideal for working from home or accommodating guests. The second level offers 3 bedrooms, while the attic presents exciting future potential with additional space and access to a widow's walk. The property has seen many updates over the years, including updated electrical and plumbing systems, a steel roof installed within the last 15 years, updated furnace and air conditioning, refinished or replaced flooring throughout, fresh interior paint, and modern kitchen appliances updated within the last 5 years. The backyard is exceptional with a solarium and hot tub. The lower level includes a fully stocked workshop/tool area, a rec-room and plenty of storage space. Zoned Commercial/Residential and not subject to restrictive historical designation rules, the opportunities here are endless. Whether envisioned as an elegant private residence, boutique spa, professional office, gallery, cafe, or destination restaurant, 130 Main Street offers incredible flexibility in one of Eastern Ontario's most picturesque waterfront communities.
