OPPORTUNITIES ARE ENDLESS WITH THIS 7-BEDROOM HOME ON THE SEVERN RIVER WITH NEARLY 5,100 SQ. FT., 7 BATHS, 3 KITCHENS, 380 FT OF WATERFRONT, OVER AN ACRE & CC-5 ZONING! This house has a story to tell, but some of its best chapters are still waiting to be written. More than an acre extends along 380 ft of the Severn River, where the lawn meets the shoreline and a newer dock gives you direct access to the water. Set out toward Sparrow Lake and the Trent-Severn Waterway, then return to an extensive wraparound deck, patio spaces, mature perennial gardens, a volleyball court and horseshoe pit. Significant improvements include an updated main kitchen, updated bathrooms, plumbing upgrades, select window replacements, fresh paint, copper wiring, a 400 amp electrical panel and updated decks. Nearly 5,100 sq. ft. above grade offers tremendous potential for a large household or multigenerational living, with generous principal rooms defined by 10 ft ceilings, original woodwork, hardwood flooring and three fireplaces. The main kitchen features granite countertops, extensive cabinetry, stainless steel appliances and a large island, while three kitchens throughout the residence broaden the possibilities for how the floor plan can be used. The second level offers a primary bedroom with a private balcony, walk-in closet, ensuite and a den, plus additional bedrooms with a mix of ensuite and semi-ensuite access. Its former life as the Severn River Inn adds another fascinating layer to a waterfront property now enjoyed as a private residence, with CC-5 zoning offering potential permitted uses such as a bed and breakfast establishment, business office or tourist establishment. The next chapter could be multigenerational, entrepreneurial or centred entirely around an exceptional life on the water, and the freedom to decide what comes next may be the most exciting part of all.
