This remarkable historic waterfront home on Amherst Island is a rare opportunity to own one of the island's earliest residences, with roots tracing back to circa 1800. Set on 1.34 acres with approximately 250 feet of shoreline on the North Channel of Lake Ontario, the property blends original charm with extensive updates for modern comfort. The stucco-over-stone section is believed to be the original farmhouse built by M. Dennee, a tenant farmer, and features early Georgian elements such as a period mantlepiece, original doors, and trim. In the mid-1800s, a triple-brick addition was constructed by James Patterson, merging two homes into one elegant residence. Inside, many original features remain intact, while substantial renovations-completed with permits-have added insulation, updated wiring and plumbing, and modern finishes. The kitchen boasts granite countertops, wide board floors, and an exposed limestone wall with a woodstove. High ceilings and large windows create light-filled spaces throughout. The home offers 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a formal living room, a main-floor family room with propane fireplace, and a bright studio or office. The primary suite includes a walk-in closet, ensuite bath, and laundry. Outside, enjoy mature trees, perennial gardens, a limestone patio, terraced landscaping, and a pebble beach. A mooring block is ready for your sailboat, and additional structures include a boat shed and woodshed. Located just a short ferry ride from the mainland, this is a lovingly restored piece of Amherst Island's history-ready for its next chapter. Amherst Island is one of eastern Ontario's best-kept secrets. This property is just a 20-minute ferry ride from the mainland at Millhaven, with regular service running year-round. The island is known for its welcoming community, scenic cycling routes, birdwatching, and peaceful pace of life-all within reach of Kingston, Toronto, Ottawa, and Montreal.
