The town of Prescott, being dominant during the building of Upper and Lower Canada, where stately stone homes were erected and the town prospered is undergoing an awakening of its historical presence. Residents are responding to the desire to preserve and enhance through a revitalization program which is attracting new people from various locations who understand the fascination of this area. Structurally sound and wonderfully appreciated the residence of 261 Sophia Street in Prescott, well known over the years as the office and residence of Dr. Findley. Very roomy and bright with many possibilities for future use, this home has under gone quality renovations and improvements. Having converted it to a single family residence, a desirable floorplan has emerged, allowing for a spacious mudroom, a 2 piece bath as well as office space located in a less trafficked area. This offers an enticement for those who dream of working from home. Formal rooms have been well preserved and some windows capture views of the majestic St. Lawrence River.

The second floor has been well attended to in an excellent choice of colours throughout and a nicely remodeled 4 piece bath. The sewing/laundry room could easily be converted to a 3rd bedroom yet it lends itself perfectly to its present use with a sitting room just beyond. A balcony deck with its own access could assist with the space being used in a cottage industry with the sitting room serving as a reception room for clientele. Not to be overlooked is the possibility of this private area being utilized by a tenant.

Few homes possess what this one features. The 3rd level with a widow’s peak allows for a 360 degree viewing of pretty Prescott and beyond to the St. Lawrence River with the passage of international vessels as well as the landscape of New York State as a backdrop.

It’s yours to discover, explore the possibilities!
