Original Remarks

Built circa 1840, this wonderful heritage detached home is your chance to own an intriguing part of history! Known as the Forbes House, this home is an excellent example of Georgian style, characterized by symmetry, a centered front entrance and evenly spaced windows. Inside we find high ceilings, custom wooden spindles and railings, high baseboards and wainscotting accents. Upstairs this home features 2 bedrooms PLUS a Den PLUS a bonus sitting room just off the Primary - easy to convert to a 3rd bedroom! Enjoy the quiet pace of small-town living, classic local architecture, old growth trees, multiple parks and beautiful walking trails. Situated just east of Georgetown and just a few km north of the 401 and 407, you've got access to everything available for modern comforts and lifestyle including schools, a theatre, a library, shopping, dining, recreational facilities and more.

And with modern updates including a newer roof, newer forced air gas heating system, updated copper wiring with a large breaker panel and a sump pit and pump, you can focus on making this house your own! The large property is 160 feet deep on the south side with a wide frontage and over 1/5 of an acre of land so there's lots of space for gardening, family gatherings and active kids.
