89 Ann ST Ingersoll, ON N5C 2G2

LOCALLY KNOWN AS THE BUCHANAN ESTATE, THIS GRAND INGERSOLL HOME WAS BUILT BY A LOCAL MERCHANT NAMED HOLLINRAKE IN THE 1890'S. NESTLED AT THE TOP OF INGERSOLL'S HISTORIC OLD SOUTH DISTRICT. UNLIKE MANY HISTORIC HOMES, THIS ONE REMAINS IN RELATIVELY ORIGINAL CONDITION- IT HASN'T BEEN CONVERTED INTO A MULTI-PLEX AND MOST OF THE ORIGINAL CHARACTER AND CHARM REMAINS IN TACT. HAVING SAID ALL THAT, THE HOME HAS COMPLETED A MECHANICAL RETROFIT: THE HYDRO HAS BEEN UPDATED AND IS ON BREAKERS; NEW FURNACE/BOILER/HOT WATER SYSTEM 2019; NEW ROOF 2021; MANY OF THE WINDOWS HAVE BEEN REPLACED 2018-2025 -TO NAME JUST A FEW OF THE UPDATES. 89 ANN FEATURES GRAND-SIZED PRINCIPAL ROOMS ON THE MAIN LEVEL AND LIGHT-BRIGHT BEDROOMS ON THE 2ND AND THIRD FLOORS. THE MASTER BEDROOM HAS A 3 PIECE ENSUITE AND A WALK-IN CLOSET. SURPRISINGLY, THIS HOME HAS A LOT OF EXTRA STORAGE SPACE ON ALL LEVELS; MULTIPLE CLOSETS INCLUDING A WALK-IN CLOSET OFF THE MAIN, GRAND FOYER. THERE ARE TWO STAIRCASES: THE MAIN GRAND STAIRCASES AND THE SERVICE STAIRCASE OFF THE KITCHEN. THERE IS A MIX OF HARDWOOD AND PINE FLOORS THROUGHOUT THE HOUSE- THE FLOORING IS AN EXCELLENT CONDITION AND A LOT OF IT HAS BEEN FULLY RESTORED. THE REAR LOT FEATURES A GAS HEATED KIDNEY-SHAPED POOL. THERE'S A LARGE GARDEN SHED THAT LOOKS LIKE A GARAGE BUT SERVES AS A SHOP/TINKERING SHED WITH HYDRO. NOW HERE'S AN INTERESTING POINT NOT TO BE MISSED: BEHIND THE GARDEN SHED THERE'S ABOUT A QUARTER OF AN ACRE OF TREED, GREEN SPACE ON THE PROPERTY WHERE A SHOP/GRANNY/NANNY FLAT COULD BE CONSTRUCTED- DON'T MISS AREA WHEN TOURING THE PROPERTY
