55 MAIN STREET Street, New Dundee

Welcome to beautiful, New Dundee, home to town-wide garage sales on Victoria Day, a yearly Pancake Breakfast, Fish Fry, and the Soapbox Derby! Life here is a world away from everywhere else, but only a 15-minute drive to Kitchener-Waterloo. Here, you will experience the quiet days of village life. This place is what it feels like to really be home. It is sheltered by mature maples, and a growing apple tree. This over-sized, quarter-acre property is a wild garden in the making. Spring brings the blooms of the magnolia tree, purple wisteria, and one of the best rhubarb patches. Summer gives way to a demanding, brilliant orange, trumpet vine, and hydrangea bushes. Front porch living is at its finest and the best place to watch a rainstorm. 55 Main Street was home to the first recorded school, which was built in 1850, and used also for Sunday morning services. Inside this century home, you will find beautiful nine-foot ceilings, wood banisters and trim. The living room is a wonderful space for family gatherings, late-night movies, and music lovers. The kitchen is truly a place for comfort foods and creative dishes, but the large dining room is a favourite place to start and end the day, with its cozy wood stove (2021). Upstairs, there are three bedrooms, an updated bathroom with intricate tile work, reminiscent of world travel. The back roof is the perfect place to watch the sun rise. The walk-up attic offers 672 square feet of space to dream! This room was finished in tongue and groove woodwork, with a sizeable skylight. There is a newer metal roof (2018), and laminate flooring (2022). In the lower level is a secondary kitchen/in-law suite, complete with a separate side entrance.
