5 Renovated Ontario Homes, from Creemore to Niagara Falls

Originally built in 1921, this renovated Edwardian brick home brings together period craftsmanship and thoughtful modern updates on a 65 x 165 foot lot. Original solid wood trim, paneled doors, and detailed casings set a warm tone, while refinished strip oak hardwood and elegant wainscoting add polish on the main level. A Vermont gas wood stove anchors cozy evenings, and a renovated 3-piece bath pairs well with the brand-new four-season sunroom (2024), where light pours in over a fully fenced backyard of fruit trees and perennial gardens. The 2024 chef’s kitchen is finished with quartz counters, a double undermount sink, and crisp ceramic tile backsplash. Upstairs: four spacious bedrooms, a bonus library, and a three-season sunroom; above, a finished attic primary retreat with skylight. A steel roof, 2019 windows, 2024 heat pump, custom Douglas Fir porch, and a heated double garage with workshop round it out. Days here feel easy—deck dinners with a gas BBQ hookup, then a short stroll to Creemore’s shops, cafes, restaurants, school, and rec center.
