430 ALBERT STREET

About this residence

Truly rare opportunity for anyone with adult children or an active senior parent to live together - yet separately - with individual interior and exterior garden spaces. This impressive Family Compound is beautifully located in thriving Exeter, gateway to the sunny beaches of Lake Huron and a short drive to London and Stratford. Did I mention the 600+ sq ft double-insulated garage, ideal as a working shop or professional/artist's studio? Extensively renovated in recent years, this property was retrofitted with a fully legal, code-compliant ARU of approx. 1,000 sq ft. These Additional Residential Units are all the rage now in large urban centres to provide economic solutions for extended family living. What makes it truly unique: rather than a laneway house, these are two stunning residences fronting two separate leafy streets. The stylish Main House (ca. 1900) began as a 2-story Victorian cottage and grew into a warm, welcoming 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath home loaded loaded with natural light and charm and character. The large main-floor Primary Bedroom features a spacious 3-piece ensuite and oversized closet. The fully renovated white kitchen with quartz counters and pantry leads to a bright dining room - or outside to a fully fenced side yard with a large deck and maple shade trees. Upstairs: two additional bedrooms plus a stunning 4-piece bath with front-loaded washer/dryer. The Second Residence is a sophisticated Urban Farmhouse-style Board and Batten coach house of 1,000 sq ft - a stunning twin to the main home. The main-floor entry doubles beautifully as a home office. Upstairs, a flexible open loft-style space surprises with a gorgeous chef's kitchen and access to a beautifully landscaped gazebo garden. This very special Family Compound is in the A-lister Heritage corner of Exeter, minutes from shops and destination Restaurants but nestled in a quiet, leafy neighbourhood. A unique and wonderful space you will be proud to call Home. (id:61366)
