Today is your lucky day! You can own a piece of history constructed in 1887 that sits on the scenic Red River! Listed on the City of Winnipeg's Commemorative List for it's historic value (Daniel Harmer House), this home offers such treasures throughout its 1368 square feet as the original hardwood floors, the original claw foot bathtub & a unique Mansard roof & bay window. 2 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms too. The upstairs bathroom features a deep claw foot tub. And the Living Room will warm your heart with a wood burning fireplace! And the brick chimney has been re-pointed in keeping with the original period. When it comes time to dine, step through those french doors into the Dining Room, which offers up solid original woodwork, and ample room for those dinners you will be serving up in style. But wait... in 1987 a brand new concrete super-insulated foundation with oversized windows and concrete staircase to the outside was installed! The basement has a lovely studio with a raised window facing the river and an elegant cast iron wood stove from Waterford, Ireland. And it has been newly insulated, with larger windows. It also has 100 amp breakers, a High Energy Efficient Lennox furnace with super low utility costs. You're going to love the picturesque 38 x 155 lot with a gentle slope to the river! And you will adore the original woodwork featured throughout. As well, newly replaced trim and soffits conform to the original style. Living on Scotia St means low traffic and an easy 11 minute commute to downtown. And for those quiet times at home, this area has been Designated as a pedestrian and bicycle path on Sundays and holidays, with vehicular traffic limited. And did I mention it is only 2 blocks from Luxton School?
