Description
This fully restored 1860's farmhouse is simply breathtaking! Step onto the front porch and watch the world go by as you enjoy your morning coffee. In the evening, finish your day on the terraced decks, watching sailboats on the Bay of Quinte as the sun sets. From every room, you have spectacular views of farmers fields or the Bay. Quiet and peaceful, with the perfect layout for entertaining, this home is perfect for any lifestyle. This 3300+ square foot home has been fully restored from top to bottom over the past 16 years. The foundation, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, exterior finishes, and roof have all been updated. The interior has been elegantly decorated, with respect to heritage details, including an updated kitchen and two full bathrooms. The property is 1.4 acres with over 200 feet of level shoreline- the small point is the perfect spot for a campfire. The main farmhouse has two bedrooms and a full bath upstairs, a sitting room, dining room, guest bedroom, and a full bath on the main floor. The focal point of the kitchen is the stunning floor to ceiling fireplace built by a local stonemason. The main floor of the attached carriage house has a spacious living room and access to the utility room and workshop. The second floor of the carriage house is 800 square feet of flexible space- currently a home office and a fourth bedroom it could be used as a studio or in-law suite. Amherst Island is perfectly situated within easy reach of Toronto, Ottawa, and Montreal.
