Welcome to this beautifully restored century home in the heart of midtown Stratford, Ontario. Just a short walk from the vibrant downtown core, theatres, restaurants, and shops, this three-bedroom, two-bathroom home perfectly blends modern living with classic charm. A landscaped walkway leads to the inviting entrance and large front porch. Inside, the open living room and kitchen feature rich maple floors, granite tile, high trim, and large windows that fill the space with natural light. The recent addition of a hidden two piece powder room is a must on this floor.
