Certain homes transcend their settings, even when the setting itself is pretty spectacular.
455 Tower Street North in Fergus, Ontario is one such home. This is no cookie-cutter residence; every inch of it is unique.
The 6-bed, 6-bath home is generous in size at nearly 5,000 sq. ft. It’s located on a quiet street and is tucked away, set back from the road. The half-acre grounds are a private oasis, filled with mature trees, beautiful flower-filled natural gardens, a gravel drive and a refined, country feel.
The timber frame family home is three storeys and has a finished basement, providing four full levels of living space. It’s also fully attached to a stunning two-level stone coach house that was built sometime in the 1800s.
Once inside, your eye is immediately drawn up—towards the incredible vaulted ceiling that is almost 30 feet high. Impressive timber beams and stained-glass windows really set this home apart, giving it a warm and cozy feel, despite its grand size.
Home cooks and those who like to entertain will be impressed by the kitchen. It boasts high-end appliances, leathered quartzite countertops, Heirlooms Custom Cabinetry and a huge 4’ by 8’ island that seats six. The space is completely open to a massive great room, where you can easily imagine hosting family for the holidays and holding special celebrations throughout the year.
There is a first-floor bedroom on the main level, two more on the second—including the primary with ensuite—and another two bedrooms up on the home’s third floor.
Outside, the private backyard is equipped with a sprawling deck, a hot tub, a firepit, string lights and multiple areas for seating and conversation. Evenings are especially atmospheric here; there’s an undeniable intimacy. It’s a space that was clearly very thoughtfully designed.
It’s not hard to imagine this home serving as the perfect set-up for in-laws to share. It would also make a truly one-of-a-kind AirBnB property, to be sure. You are a short stroll from downtown Fergus, with its many cafes, shops and restaurants, and just a block or two away from James McQueen Public School and St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church.
