An exceptional iconic dwelling situated in the quiet, historic hamlet of Cataract, adjacent to the Cataract Falls on the Credit River, in the most scenic area of the Caledon Hills. This historic building is just steps from the Forks of the Credit provincial park, and yet an easy commute to the airport, central Toronto, Brampton, Oakville and Mississauga.

Dating from 1855, it was transformed in a two-year restoration into a modern, elegant and impressive single family dwelling. It offers four bedrooms, five renovated bathrooms, three fireplaces, a sweeping stainless-and-stone kitchen, separate nanny's wing (or apartment), large attached garage, new electrical, heating and plumbing, all set on approximately one and a half professionally-landscaped acres adjoining a heavily-wooded ravine.

The building has been called one of the finest examples of Georgian architecture in southern Ontario, and has been featured in many publications. It now adds to its obvious beauty a deep practicality, thanks to a long list of improvements. In excess of four hundred thousand dollars has been spent on ensuring this property stands proudly for another century and a half. Owners are relocating for business reasons.

Exceptional value at $979,000
