A once in a lifetime opportunity to own a piece of history in the heart of Olde Dundas.  “The Scott House” built by James Scott circa 1858 is on the dream list of many buyers.  The charming Whirlpool sandstone exterior, gorgeous woodwork, and beautifully landscaped grounds are just the beginning of the elegance and charm to be found throughout this incredible property; the perfect combination of Classical and Gothic Revival architecture.

From the moment you step through the charming front door you are immersed in history.   The ceilings, soaring over 11 feet high, perfectly frame the gorgeous and restored oak staircase in the spacious the front foyer enveloped in natural light throughout the day.  The combination of inlaid oak hardwood and wide plank pine flooring reminds you of the history and stature of where you are standing.

The large library features a wood burning fireplace, 16” baseboards, thick crown moulding and floor to ceiling bookshelves.   From the library you pass through the separate dining room into the large eat-in kitchen.  Boasting solid wood cabinetry and granite countertops, there is ample room to cook and entertain, making it a Chef’s delight.  With access points to the side drive and covered porch it is the perfect nucleus of the home.

On the East side of the home find the sprawling and updated family room.   The original floors, high baseboards, beautifully crafted fireplace, French doors, and large principle and transom windows combined with wi-fi controlled pot lights and a gas fireplace insert, makes this room the perfect combination of old-world charm and modern updates.

Up to the second level the blend of inlaid hardwood and pine floors continues throughout the spacious 4 bedrooms.  Originally a 5 bedroom home, space has been reconfigured on the West side of the property to offer a large principle room with walk-in closet and a stunning ensuite with heated floors, clawfoot tub, and glass shower.  All rooms offer ample storage combining built-in cabinetry and large closets.  The main 4PC bathroom has also been updated and features a pedestal sink.

The lower level offers an additional 1000 square feet of living space.  There is a complete in-law suite with full kitchen, 4PC bath and a large bedroom (currently used as a rec room).   The deep window wells allow loads of natural light to enter, making the lower level feel more like above grade living space and nothing like a basement.  With a tremendous amount of storage there are many possibilities to add even more additional living space should you need it.

The rear gardens are overlooked by the stunning covered porch.   Host birthdays and family gatherings for years to come as you enjoy the ½ acre property.  With some planning, the 2 storey coach house could be an amazing guest suite.   The 52’ long heated pool is one of largest in residential Dundas. The two-car detached garage is a bonus in the heart of the Olde town.

Nestled in one of the most desirable areas of Dundas, enjoy walking to your favourite shops and restaurants.  Close to great schools, conservation, museums, and recreation this stunning property is truly incredible from the inside and out.
