452 Duke St S, Cambridge, ON N3H 3T1
Lovingly maintained by the same family for the past 40 years, this historic Preston-Cambridge residence is ready to be passed on to new owners for safekeeping. Built around 1904 in the Georgian Revival style, this handsome triple-brick home is set on a generous 1/3-acre city lot with lovely gardens and a vintage 18' x 23' coach house. An inviting front veranda beckons you inside where you will find a remarkably well-maintained interior with an abundance of original features. Through the transomed front door an enclosed vestibule opens to a generous foyer. The main floor features four large spaces – a living room, family, dining and breakfast room – plus a galley kitchen at rear. Recently remodelled, the kitchen features stainless-steel counter tops, modern appliances and a tiled backsplash. The living and family rooms each boast lovely fireplaces. Soaring 10-foot beamed ceilings, original patterned hardwood floors and ornate doors, trim and casings showcase the craftsmanship of days gone by. Upstairs are four, good-sized bedrooms and a den, as well as a full bathroom needing renovation. All four bedrooms contain closets, while two have fireplaces. The den offers a birds-eye view of the neighbourhood streetscape through leaded glass windows. Up another floor, a bright, open attic with many windows and exposed brickwork is brimming with potential. With imagination this unfinished space could be transformed into a one-of-a-kind recreation room or primary bedroom suite. Downstairs a full basement offers further development opportunities. Mechanically this property features new wiring, a newer high-efficiency gas boiler and recently replaced roof shingles. Located in Preston-Cambridge just steps from schools, shopping, parks and trails this delightful century home provides easy access to Highway 401, Kitchener-Waterloo and Guelph.
