596-598 Arkell Road Puslinch, Ontario N0B 1C0
$1,149,900
Welcome to a truly exceptional property in the heart of Arkell, where history, craftsmanship, and modern efficiency come together. Originally built in the 1800s and once home to a local blacksmith shop, this one-of-a-kind residence has been thoughtfully renovated to preserve its character while delivering outstanding comfort and performance. Reimagined using high-performance, Passive House-inspired building principles, the home was upgraded with a strong focus on the building envelope, ventilation, durability, and indoor air quality. The result is a remarkably energy-efficient, quiet, and comfortable home with consistent temperatures year-round. Inside, the main living space has been opened into a bright, cohesive kitchen and living area that blends contemporary design with preserved century details. Original rafters, exposed brick, and a striking floating staircase add architectural interest, while high-end appliances-including a Wolf cooktop, Fisher & Paykel refrigerator, wall ovens, and a built-in coffee maker-make the kitchen ideal for everyday living and entertaining. A rear addition with cathedral ceilings, moody finishes, and a fireplace creates a cozy, chalet-inspired retreat. Beyond its beauty, the home's performance truly sets it apart, featuring triple-pane windows, a continuous air barrier with thick exterior insulation, and a heat-recovery ventilation system for enhanced comfort, sound insulation, and energy savings. Set on two separate deeds with commercial zoning, the property offers flexibility for business use, live/work potential, or future development. A detached 900 sq. ft. heated shop provides year-round functionality, while the expansive landscaped yard offers space to relax, entertain, or expand. Rich in history, meticulously renovated, and full of opportunity, this is a rare and remarkable legacy property. (id:13139)
