THE CENTENNIAL COTTAGE is a rare Victorian era brick home completed in 1875 and being offered for sale for the first time in 4 decades. Upon entering this home your eyes will immediately be drawn to the sight-lines leading out to the St. Lawrence River. The centre hallway has a magnificent curved staircase leading to the second floor. Strategically placed windows drive in lots of natural light and allow fabulous views of the river. Possessing all the Victorian style this home presents generously sized rooms with large baseboards and high ceilings adorned with crown mouldings. Ceilings in the formal rooms on the first floor average 10 feet 7 inches and 9 feet 3 inches on the second floor. On the exterior above each window is a cast iron image of a young Queen Victoria. The maids quarters on the east side have been converted to an attached garage. There are two stairways to the basement, which has good height and possesses large windows looking out towards the river. The land extends to the waters edge without an OPG licence.
