About this home

Inside the home

This is a genuine Victorian-era limestone home in downtown Wiarton — the kind of property that rarely gets a full modern renovation while keeping its original bones intact. The kitchen is the most obvious upgrade: teal shaker cabinets, a long marble-look island, gas range, and a built-in stainless fridge column, all sitting under original crown moulding. The original staircase, carved fireplace mantels, decorative columns, and plaster millwork are all still here. The third floor has been converted to livable space with skylights, a new bathroom with zellige tile, and a media lounge with herringbone carpet. The lot runs 135 by 168 feet with a wraparound verandah and mature gardens. The harbour is a short walk away. The basement is full but unfinished — the next owner's project.

  • Exceptional Victorian exterior with original limestone block construction
  • Fully updated kitchen with teal shaker cabinetry, marble-look island, and stainless appliances
  • Multiple updated bathrooms with high-end tile and fixtures
  • Original ornate staircases, fireplace mantels, and millwork retained
