Property Description
***OPEN HOUSE SUNDAY FEB 23rd, 2-4 PM*** An emblem of history, Circa 1843 - nestled in the waterfront town of Lombardy, ON, in the heart of Rideau Lakes, sits the stately "Blacksmith House," a timeless century home enveloped by its gorgeous irreplaceable limestone facade - a testament to the craftsmanship of its era. Spanning approx. 3000 sq ft., this one-of-a-kind home is a gateway to the past and a unique prospect for the future. Visiting this property is an invitation to imagine the stories that unfolded within its walls and to envision the tales yet to be told. It blends modern updates, including a new furnace & heat pump (Jan 2025), electrical, plumbing, windows, front door, masonary repointed, stonework, M/L bathroom, and flooring, to name a few. Its original charm portrays impressive high ceilings, handcrafted wood-carved motifs, two original staircases, wide plank hardwood, traditional deep box-sashed windows with cozy nooks & deep extra window seats everywhere you turn, and intricate trim/mouldings. The main floor boasts a bright foyer, the great room; historically, the parlour, enhanced by a stone fireplace surround, mantle, dry bar & sitting room along with a pedigreed formal dining room, and welcoming country kitchen & eating area, a three-piece bathroom, and main floor laundry room with a separate entrance & second staircase. The second level lends four bedrooms, including the serene primary suite & full bathroom. The possibilities invite endless opportunities to personally design a unique historical home. Try a hand at a quaint bed & breakfast in this beautiful waterfront town, or enjoy the quiet living and all Rideau Lakes offers.
