Historic character, reimagined for modern living. This circa-1880 Italianate residence has been thoughtfully renovated while preserving the details that make it extraordinary. The renovated kitchen features stone counters, stainless-steel appliances, exposed brick, generous cabinetry and doors opening to a private brick courtyard. Three renovated bathrooms—including a brand-new primary ensuite—bring fresh, modern comfort with glass showers, stylish finishes and distinctive hexagon floor tile, while 10-foot ceilings, hardwood floors, intricate millwork and three fireplaces retain the home’s unmistakable character. Generous principal rooms, a flexible main-floor bedroom/office and a spectacular window-filled sunroom create the kind of spaces buyers are looking for—beautiful, functional and full of personality. Upstairs, the impressive primary retreat features its own fireplace, architectural detailing, sunlit alcove and new ensuite, plus two additional bedrooms. An insulated workshop, separate basement walk-up, expansive attic and additional unfinished space add versatility and future potential. Nestled behind iron gates on approximately a quarter acre, the property is surrounded by mature trees, perennial gardens and a secluded courtyard, creating a wonderfully private setting just moments from the heart of Galt. The current owners have also successfully welcomed short-term guests, adding another layer of flexibility for buyers seeking a home that can adapt to family life, entertaining, creative pursuits or hospitality. Rarely do you find this much character, this many thoughtful updates and this much possibility in one property. Every home has a heart—this one has a story all its own.
