3072 YORKS CORNERS ROAD

Description

Just outside the historic village of Kenmore - founded in 1876 and once known as the community that shifted with the railway to remain connected - 3072 York Corners Road reflects the same practical resilience that shaped the area. Within easy reach of Ottawa, this two-storey farmhouse stands as a straightforward example of Ontario's agricultural past. In the late 1800s, when butter sold for about twenty cents a pound and surrounding farms supplied Ottawa's growing markets, homes like this were built with purpose. Function came first. Durability mattered. That sensibility remains evident here. The interior is simple and unembellished - wide wood floors, a large solid wooden entry door, practical proportions, and a functional wood stove recalling an earlier way of heating and gathering. There are no elaborate finishes - just sturdy construction and honest space. Upstairs offers three bedrooms and a full bathroom. The main floor provides the common living areas along with an extra-large unheated mudroom - a feature that made perfect sense in a working farmhouse, designed for boots, wood, and the rhythm of rural life. Outside, open fields stretch beyond the home with distant views instead of close neighbours. The setting remains quiet and agricultural, echoing the landscape that first defined Kenmore nearly 150 years ago. Not a restored showpiece, but a solid farmhouse with enduring bones - rooted in its surroundings and ready for its next chapter. (id:52560)
