The kitchen is anchored by a centre island with granite countertops and stainless steel appliances, and the main-floor office is ideal for a home-based workspace. Upstairs, 9.5-foot ceilings continue the sense of openness. A generous landing offers space for a reading nook.

Two additional bedrooms are generously sized and complemented by a 3-piece bath with soaker tub and a second 3-piece bath with shower.The dry basement with 8' ceilings provides ample storage space, a washer, dryer, hot water heater (rented), owned water softener, and utility sink. Homes of this calibre and character rarely come to market. A true Uxbridge landmark, offering timeless beauty, thoughtful updates, and a setting that feels both special and welcoming.
