Truly a one of a kind property - The Carswell House is a remarkable Georgian-style home with immense history and character. Built circa 1840's by one of Simcoe County's earliest residents, Andrew Carswell, this residence has been home to just 6 families over 180+ years. Historic character is preserved throughout, including original pine floors, original main floor windows, cross-and-bible doors with original box locks, a heated cobblestone kitchen floor, wood-burning fireplaces, restored woodwork, elegant masonry, and original stone foundation. This grand home offers 3,530 sqft of above grade living space, plus a usable excavated basement with separate walk-up entrance. Upstairs, historic elegance continues with soaring 12 ft ceilings and restored wood trim. 3 spacious bedrooms plus a 4th loft bedroom feature individual natural gas heaters. The board-and-batten addition provides a mudroom with brand-new oak hardwood floors, main-floor laundry, and a recently renovated full bathroom. Recent updates include a durable metal roof, new UV water filtration system, whole home Generac standby generator, and 400 amp electrical service. Enjoy rare natural gas service in a rural setting! Set on an elevated ridge, enjoy spectacular southern views over South Simcoe's rolling hills. The 5.87 acre property features a pond, stream, pear and apple trees, a detached 2-car garage, and spectacular privacy. The extra-large barn was rebuilt in 2002 and offers 3 floors, an electrical sub-panel, and water connection from a separate well. Ideal for a workshop, storage, horses or other animals, tractors, vehicles, or even for business use! Large barn doors enhance usability of the lower level. Enjoy peaceful country living within minutes of Bond Head, Bradford, and Schomberg, with excellent Highway 400 access on 5th Line and close to Bradford GO Station!
