If “spectacular” is on your home shopping checklist, 180 Victoria Crescent may just be the home for you.
From the road, this elegant house is unassuming, a charming and cozy yellow brick century home with a lovely front porch. It has great curb appeal all on its own but get a bit closer and the property quickly opens up, revealing a lot more house and a deep, private lot full of mature trees. The grand front entrance, with timber beams, sets a welcoming tone.
This three-bed, three-bath gem has been completely (and impressively) restored. There is nothing for a buyer to do but move in.
An addition was built onto the house just a couple of years ago and the two distinct parts—the old and the new—blend together seamlessly. The project was quite an undertaking and took more than a year and a half to do; it was completed quite recently, in 2017.
There is now more than 4,400 sq ft of finished living space, every inch and detail carefully considered. The rooms are spacious and modern, boasting 11-ft ceilings, yet each still feels cozy and welcoming.
You’d be hard-pressed to find a prettier kitchen. The layout is not only functional but fantastic—ideal for entertaining—with the kitchen open to a generous dining area as well as a sprawling living room with floor-to-ceiling windows, stained glass transoms, coffered ceilings and built-in bookcases. The back of the home has southwest exposure and overlooks the magnificent Elora gorge.
Also on the main level is the primary suite, with an impressive, room-sized closet, and a sauna in the ensuite bath. There is also a bright home office on this floor.
Upstairs there are two more bedrooms, as well as a large, sun-filled space that can be used as a home gym, sitting area, playroom, library or additional living room.
The basement is massive, with above-grade windows. As in the rest of the house, there are heated floors throughout. The garage is oversized, with room for two cars; there’s even a car hoist that allows you to store your summer ride with ease.
The backyard has a sleek and spacious, two-level wood deck, which overlooks the private, treed grounds. The house is situated on an incredible 235-ft.-deep lot; there’s even a pizza oven for you to enjoy.
180 Victoria Crescent is part of a quiet enclave of historic homes, yet you’re a short walk to Downtown Elora and its many shops and restaurants. The house backs onto the stunning Elora Gorge; the 4-star Elora Mill Hotel & Spa is just blocks away.
This home is the essence of refined living and presents a rare opportunity to live in one of Southern Ontario’s most desirable neighbourhoods.
