480 James Street Elora, ON N0B 1S0

If you were to stroll through the neighbourhood, the lush front garden and board & batten charm of 480 James Street would likely catch your eye. The white picket fence, mature ferns, and stone pathway leading to the front door welcome you to this oasis within walking distance of town. When you enter this one-bedroom + den home, you quickly sense its exceptional warmth and old-time elegance that is quintessentially Elora. With leather finish quartz counters and scraped wood floors in the kitchen, original longboard plank floors in the living area and bedroom, exposed brick, 10 ft ceilings on the main floor and stone walls throughout the lower level, this is a place where history meets the attributes of modern living. Beyond the double floor-to-ceiling glass doors in the living room is a raised deck with a bird's eye view of multi-tiered gardens, spectacular sunsets, the village of Salem, and the sounds of the Irvine River and waterfall. The property backs onto Washington Street, and with no neighbours to the south or directly behind, there is a rare level of privacy. The gardens must be seen to be believed; a quarter acre of rolling blooms of perennials that will carry you from Spring to Winter with a curated glory of colours. Relax by the pond, nap in the Bunkie, or get cozy in front of one of the three fireplaces. A written description of this stunning home and property is not enough to do it justice.
