Original Remarks

Welcome to "The Hedges", this historical home was built in 1867 and sits as one of the most historic homes in the growing town of Durham, Ontario. Built by the youngest son of Durham's founder, Archibald Hunter, this expansive property spans just over an acre, offering both privacy and the convenience of being in town. The circular front drive features a vibrant perennial flower bed and a striking magnolia tree about to bloom. Upon entering, you'll notice the grand staircase framed by bright windows, creating an impressive focal point. Classic details such as high baseboards, thick door trims, and ornate 12-foot ceilings add character throughout. The spacious living room, formerly a ballroom, is illuminated by a ten-foot bay window with original built-in shutters and 2 gorgeous original chandeliers. Two sets of vintage double glass doors lead to a sunroom running along the side of the house, enhanced with authentic ceilings and trim that provide generous space for entertaining. This home includes 5 well-sized bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. The unique library, highlighted by a beautifully wallpapered ceiling, offers a perfect spot for work or quiet reading. The partially fenced yard ensures your pet's safety, and the large lot provides ample play space for the kids. A detached 2 car garage (approx. 20'x30') with a wood stove and an upper loft for storage adds extra versatility for hobbies and storage. This home awaits its new owners to continue the vision to restore this amazing home back to its original glory. Call your Realtor and book your private showing today.
