If you’re prone to falling in love at first sight, brace yourself. This home is a standout, making a first impression that wows.
74 Stafford Street is an impressive executive bungalow that sits on a corner lot, nestled in the quaint village of Elora.
Every single detail has been painstakingly considered in this 4-bedroom, 3-bathroom home that offers 1,781 sq ft of main floor living space and over 3,500 sq ft of total finished space. The elegant, covered porch and lovingly landscaped gardens set the tone for what is to come.
Enter the lofty foyer, kick off your shoes and head to the open concept Great Room.
This is the perfect place to relax and unwind every day and to do some memorable entertaining on the weekends. This space features soaring ceilings, big windows and engineered hardwood flooring.
The kitchen boasts gorgeous, 2-toned cabinetry, breakfast bar seating, a walk-in pantry, granite counters and a glass backsplash. The spacious dining area includes custom built-in cabinetry and pot lighting.
The primary bedroom is luxurious, with a vaulted ceiling, a walk-in closet fit for a king and a spa-like ensuite with a standalone soaker tub and a walk-in shower.
On the lower level there is even more living space to love. Curl up with a book beside the cozy fireplace, work from the private office or entertain at the wet bar, with its beautiful cabinetry, generous counter space and an impressive wine wall. There are two additional bedrooms for guests to enjoy and a large workshop for hobbyists.
The backyard is a destination in itself, with a huge deck, privacy fencing, pergola, perennial gardens and grape vines.
This home even includes an “owned” solar panel system that generates enough power to reduce your hydro bills to a mere fraction.
Elora was rated The Best Place to Live in Canada in 2024 by Narcity and earned the Greatest Quality of Life distinction. It’s a beautiful and quaint tourist town that features historical stone buildings, a picturesque waterfront downtown and excellent shopping and dining. A rural community where you can get to know your neighbours, it has a great social atmosphere; there’s a very active artistic community here too.
The home is located in a quiet area. Nearby amenities include parks, playgrounds, schools (and school bus service), places of worship, shopping and a hospital. You are within reach of the GTA if you need to go into the city or to an international airport.
“Living in Elora would be idyllic in that you can walk everywhere you need to go,” says Gia Lucchetta, Sales Representative. “Dining options are abundant, with the recently renovated Elora Mill being a strong anchor for the town. If spending time outdoors is your passion, there are kilometres of stunning walking trails along the Grand River, which is noted as a Canadian Heritage River.”
The watershed is an area of outstanding beauty and importance to locals; it provides a wide range of natural resources and activities. From fishing and kayaking to camping, the Township of Centre Wellington offers some of the best viewpoints of the river.
