Overview

Welcome to Chatsworth, where small-town charm, a strong sense of community, and peaceful country living create an exceptional place to call home. Just 10 minutes from Owen Sound, this welcoming village offers an excellent school, local shops, parks, sports, community events, and the kind of neighbourly spirit that's increasingly hard to find. Set on a rare private double-wide lot backing onto open farmland, this timeless Victorian estate-once home to a local doctor-captures the very best of the Chatsworth lifestyle. The stately double-brick exterior, wraparound veranda, and impressive 42-inch solid wood front door introduce a home rich in history and craftsmanship. Inside, original hardwood floors, intricate woodwork, stained glass and transom windows, soaring ceilings, wide entryways, and an upper level balcony have been meticulously preserved while thoughtful updates provide modern comfort. The formal dining room and inviting living room with its historic fireplace and natural gas insert offer elegant spaces to gather. Upstairs are three spacious bedrooms, a dedicated laundry room, and a beautifully updated 3-piece bath, while the cedar-lined third-floor master suite with a 2-piece bath creates a private retreat or a wonderful family room. At the heart of the home, the updated kitchen features cherry cabinetry, a large island, stainless steel appliances, black slate natural stone flooring, and flows effortlessly into welcoming living spaces and a sun-filled four-season room. Step outside to your own backyard oasis, complete with a stunning 2023 in-ground pool, interlocking stone, fire pit, and charming Mennonite-built pool house. Combining historic character, modern amenities, exceptional outdoor living, and the warmth of one of Grey County's most welcoming communities, this is more than a home-it's a lifestyle.
