About 340 Dundas Street E

Lovers wanted!! Lovers of gorgeous historic homes in quaint, convenient Waterdown. This ca. 1870 stucco over masonry Victorian Gothic Revival home was built by the Eager family of Eager's General Store (later Weekes Hardware). It is known as The Eager House and also as Little Woods on Vinegar Hill. There were apple orchards on this street - prior to its development - and the fermenting apples gave off a vinegar smell in the Fall. The current owner is only the second one to love and enjoy this wonderful residence. The property is .34 acres with lush trees and landscaping siding onto a quiet cul-de-sac. It conveys a sense of the historic but is also cozy and comfortable with great light and treed views through the large windows. There is a fabulous folding door/ wall between the living room/ parlour and breakfast room/ rear parlour. Open, the space is large and impressive. Closed, you have two more intimately sized rooms. Quite a cool feature. The dining room is huge at 25'8 x 13'9 and will accommodate the biggest social evenings. Ceiling height in the main floor principal rooms is 10'5, 9' on the second floor. Wonderful! There is a mix of exposed pine plank flooring (painted and natural) coupled with hardwood flooring in select areas. This was an upgrade at the time deemed finer than the pine. The eat-in kitchen is at the back of the house accessible off the rear yard/ driveway and is a natural everyday entrance. A private patio area is adjacent to the kitchen area as is a back bedroom (with separate entrance) and 3 piece bathroom. A large deck on the west side of the house is perfect for outdoor gatherings and overlooks the Grindstone Creek ravine. Upgraded wiring with ESA certificate. Multi zone garden irrigation system, also. This home offers a rare opportunity for the special owner/ family to have and hold this gem now and into the future. Love it as the current owners do and enjoy! (id:36535)
