15 Emma Street

About This Listing

Welcome to 15 Emma Street in Caledon East. This beautiful century home, built in 1879 in the Victorian Gothic style of the late 19th century, exudes a timeless charm and sense of warmth and welcome, steeped in history. Situated in the oldest section of Caledon East, it still offers the restful quietness of its early inhabitants, along with the amenities of a modern village, access to the Caledon Trailway at its doorstep and Main Street shopping a block away. The location is perfect for retired people, busy career couples or young families, who want to come home to a peaceful environment. As you walk toward the entrance, one of the main features of the house is the two-story bay window and perhaps the cedar tree, which is as old as the house. You enter through a glassed-in sun porch to the spacious L/R and D/R, with high ceilings and crown molding. Flowing from the D/R is a bonus room featuring a bay window and direct access to the porch, which could easily be an office, den or Primary Bedroom. All of these rooms have oak flooring. A door from the L/R leads to the large, country-style kitchen with maple cupboards, original maple floor, pine wainscoting, serving hatch to the dining room and original trap door to the basement. Open to the kitchen is the F/R - skylit and airy with double French doors to a private, wraparound deck with a covered sitting area. The main level has a laundry room with heated floors and a powder room off the kitchen with a door which leads to the composite deck and meticulous gardens. A maple banister welcomes you to the upper level and three bedrooms (one has a shower and vanity ensuite), plus the main bathroom featuring a whirlpool bathtub and a separate shower. Privacy fences and landscaped gardens surround a brick path to the garage, which features a large work bench, built-in cupboards and a storage loft. A generator that powers up the house is sure to please when you need it the most. This is a true gem of a country home!
