Good Here

Proudly standing the test of time in the heart of the historic Huron County town of Wingham is this sumptuously updated and beautifully maintained three-bedroom, two-bathroom residence.  230 Minnie Street commands a stately presence on its mature 71x168 lot, a mere block and a half from the very centre of this full-service community.  A charming covered front porch that spans the length of the home sets the tone immediately, bracketed by symmetrical river stone pillars.  Convenient modern updates are aplenty in this 1880s era property, with a kitchen lovingly renovated to provide modern functionality while retaining its period charm.  In addition to sizable principal living spaces on each side, a main floor laundry and conveniently situated three-piece washroom and mudroom carry this theme forward.  The three bedrooms lie upstairs, sharing the updated full family bath.  But this property’s ultimate feature might just be the new 1,200 square foot detached garage.  Fully insulated and heated, this space dramatically expands the amount of usable space on offer here, with its 11-foot ceilings, two-piece washroom, and fully functional ‘man-cave’ (easily repurposed as storage or workshop space, with a convenient third OVD for a mower, snowblower or toys).  “Swingin’ Wingham” boasts an ideal balance between access to every modern amenity – a modern hospital, elementary and secondary schools, a sports and rec complex, a wide selection of retail and food services, medical offices, and even an airport – and that slower-paced, more peaceful lifestyle so characteristic of historic southwestern Ontario.  This could be the perfect answer to your family’s search for a more relaxed and idyllic place to put down roots in a safe, comfortable and convenient small town.
