About This Property
Behind the trees on one of Canton's most admired streets, this
remarkable circa-1890 home offers a rare combination of privacy,
history, and thoughtful restoration. Set well back from the road on
more than half an acre, it has been carefully transformed over
several years, not as a project for resale, but as a forever home.
A change in circumstances now offers the opportunity to own a
property where original character has been preserved, modern
systems thoughtfully updated, and every improvement reflects a
commitment to craftsmanship. The welcoming wraparound porch and
original front door introduce the home's timeless character, while
a practical side entrance with mudroom makes everyday living
effortless. Inside, original woodwork, hardwood floors, built-ins,
and period details blend seamlessly with new Andersen windows,
heating and cooling systems, insulation, electrical improvements,
and countless behind-the-scenes enhancements that allow this
historic home to live comfortably today. Designed by an
accomplished home chef, the kitchen is every bit as functional as
it is beautiful, anchored by a professional-style range, soapstone
counters, and custom cherry cabinetry, created for those who truly
love to cook and gather. French doors open to the covered porch,
expansive deck, and beautifully landscaped gardens, creating an
effortless connection between indoor and outdoor living. Cabinet
hardware has intentionally been left for the next owner to
personalize, with a curated selection available for buyer choice.
The living room, centered around its original wood-burning
fireplace and built-in china cabinet, flows naturally into the
heart of the home. Upstairs are two generous bedrooms, a dedicated
laundry room with custom built-ins that also serves as an ideal
home office, and two full baths, including a beautifully renovated
Carrera marble bath serving the private primary retreat above.
Occupying its own level, the primary suite offers a peaceful escape
with custom built-ins, integrated lighting and charging stations, a
walk-in closet, and tranquil treetop views. A flagstone cottage
garden filled with David Austin roses, dry-stacked stone walls, a
detached garage with greenhouse potential, and exceptional privacy
complete this special offering. Just moments from Canton Junction,
downtown shops and restaurants, this is a home for those who value
authenticity, craftsmanship, and the enduring beauty of a place
with a story to tell.
