220 ST VINCENT STREET, Meaford, Ontario, N4L1C1

On Meaford's historic St. Vincent Street, where Victorian red-brick homes line the route toward Georgian Bay, 220 St. Vincent offers a wide, deep lot and the opportunity to make a home your own. A municipal creek runs beside the property, creating natural separation and added privacy along one side. Freshly painted throughout, this three-bedroom home is ready for a comprehensive refresh. Updating the kitchen and flooring would make a meaningful difference, with new siding another option for the exterior. Inside, a distinctive wood-panelled staircase with a curved balustrade adds character worth preserving. Living and dining rooms, two natural gas fireplaces, a four-piece bathroom, a powder room and 200-amp electrical service provide a practical starting point. Two sets of sliding glass doors open to the covered patio and backyard, connecting the indoor spaces with a generous outdoor setting. A separate rear entrance, laundry area and nearby bathroom offer a layout worth investigating for a secondary suite within the existing building, subject to zoning, permits and building-code requirements. Daily errands, school and time by the water can all be part of a walkable routine. The harbour, waterfront, historic downtown, restaurants, grocery and hardware stores are within walking distance, along with Georgian Bay Community School, serving Kindergarten through Grade 12. Provincial funding has also been announced for a new Meaford elementary school. Thornbury is a short drive away, adding more restaurants and shops, while skiing, golf, sailing and Georgian Bay beaches offer recreation throughout the year. Autumn brings the Scarecrow Invasion, a colourful expression of Meaford's community spirit. With a private yard, distinctive interior details and everyday amenities close by, this is a home with room for family life and a clear opportunity for thoughtful improvements. (id:2471)
