Property Description
Experience the historic allure and character of this utterly delightful century home in the heart of old east Galt. This handsome red brick residence is set on a beautifully landscaped 61' x 121' city lot, just a short walk from the shops and cafes of downtown Cambridge, Hamilton Family Theatre, and the new Gaslight District.
From the welcoming front stoop, through the vintage front door, you'll find a spacious foyer with painted wood floors and high ceilings that exude old-world charm. The formal living and dining rooms showcase original hardwood floors, large windows, and updated pot-lights that flood the space with natural light.
At the rear of the house, the kitchen is a blend of modern and vintage elements, with subway tile backsplash, upgraded countertops, and stainless-steel appliances. A cozy corner banquette offers a perfect spot for casual family meals, while a side door leads to the deck, ideal for summer al fresco dining.
Upstairs, you'll find three lovely bedrooms, all with hardwood floors and closet space. The main family bath has been thoughtfully updated with newer fixtures and convenient stacked laundry facilities.
The recently added basement features a rec room, a 2-piece powder room, and an unfinished workshop and utility/furnace room, offering space for family activities and hobbies.
The park-like backyard is a true urban escape in the warmer months, recently hosting a summer wedding and boasting mature trees, privacy screening, and two charming structures that serve as studios for the current owners. The friendly residents of Ball Ave have been hosting a summer street party for the past few years, fostering a strong sense of community.
With its family-friendly neighborhood, lovely outdoor space, and classic charm and character, this home is more than just a house— it's a place to create lasting memories and proudly call your own.
