Treasured by the same family since 1955, this beautiful Victorian-era home is a special piece of Embro's story - filled with history, character and timeless charm. From its striking façade and intricate architectural details to the craftsmanship found throughout the interior, this is a home that has been loved for generations and is ready to welcome its next chapter. Step through the front door into a grand entryway that sets the tone for the generous proportions and beautiful original details beyond. Gorgeous hardwood floors, rich woodwork and classic pocket doors speak to the craftsmanship of another era, while updated windows bring welcome modern-day comfort. The spacious main floor offers plenty of room to gather and entertain, with a formal dining room anchored by a beautiful fireplace and two separate living spaces offering wonderful flexibility for family life. An additional main-floor room, currently shown as an office, provides even more versatility and could easily serve as a fifth bedroom, guest room or private work-from-home space. Upstairs, four spacious bedrooms continue the home's impressively generous layout, with plenty of room for a growing family. And the space continues outside. Set on an impressive double-wide lot measuring just over half an acre, the property offers a rare amount of room to enjoy right in the village, complemented by a detached double-car garage for added parking, storage, and functionality. The home itself remains the undeniable centrepiece, with its steeply pitched roofline, decorative gables, gingerbread detailing and welcoming front porch showcasing the unmistakable character of its Victorian roots. After more than 70 years in the same family, this is a rare opportunity to become part of the story of a truly special Embro home - one with a past, a presence, and the kind of character that simply can't be recreated.
