This is your opportunity to purchase a piece of history and be part of a select group of only three families who have lived in and loved this home since it was built in 1870. Originally a country property, the house now finds itself situated in the middle of downtown Collingwood, just a few steps from Central Park. The park encompasses the Curling Club, the Collingwood YMCA , as well as an outdoor skating rink/pickleball court and enclosed dog park. There is also an indoor hockey arena and baseball diamonds. The house is located within easy walking distance of both the Collingwood Hospital and the shops and restaurants of downtown. The public library, public schools and the Collingwood Collegiate Institute are also close at hand. While there are some new elements to the home ( new roof (2022), new front deck(2022), new furnace (2021), central air (2021), rear deck power awning, and hot water heater (2021), the new owners will have the opportunity to completely update and renovate the home and make it their own. Situated with a large, fenced backyard, in a prime location, this gem in the rough is waiting for new owners to restore and adore it for the next chapter of its life.
